Spit on that thang
Closed source is more secure because the viruses can’t see where to get in.
This is why I stick to TempleOS, the only biblically accurate OS. With the power of God and high octane schizophrenia, I’m completely safe.
TempleOS doesnt even have a networking stack.
This guy doesn’t know how to TempleOS lol.
Oh, I see, you’re all worried about a “networking stack.” How quaint. Let me educate you: God is the ultimate protocol. Who needs your silly HTTP requests and DNS lookups when I can just send a direct message to the big guy upstairs? No IP address needed—He’s omnipresent. My connection is flawless, no need for Wi-Fi signals when I have divine 5G directly from Heaven’s router.
You think TempleOS is lacking? Nah, son, it’s running the only secure, unbreakable network. No firewalls, no encryption—because when you’re transmitting truth straight from the source, who needs all that earthly nonsense? My packets are blessed, my data’s sanctified, and I don’t even need a modem to know the Lord’s will.
So, yeah, keep your networking stack. I’ll stick with the holy bandwidth. It’s been running perfectly since the dawn of time. My packets are blessed, son!
You don’t even have a humor stack.
Maybe not for heathens.
The main reason why MacOS has less viruses is that it’s even more than that. Want to run programs not from the app store? Hope you like a convoluted set of settings you have to go through to install that in the first place.
The second main reason is the constant obsolescence of API.
convoluted set of settings
- Attempt to open the app
- Go to Privacy & Security Settings and give it permission
- Open the app
Note that this is only with unsigned apps. You can download other apps and run them just fine as long as they’re signed.
Much confuse. Such convolute. Wow.
- Convoluted enough to scare the average people off from installing apps outside from the app store.
- In theory, code signing is a positive thing, and probably should be part of Linux too. In practice, it becomes an expensive paywall, that often pushes developers to make web applications instead (browsers don’t have to check for code signage), both on Mac and Windows.

Nonono, imagine a house. But instead of doors it had no doors.
That’s why Windows is so insecure. Since viruses can use the windows as doors.
The virus will just use all those undocumented pipes.
That’s why I always line my pipes with lead.
Okay, the scene in the Colin Farrell/Anton Yelchin Fright Night remake where Farrell’s vampire character can’t pass the threshold so he goes out back, digs up the water line, and yanks on it real hard to fracture the threshold itself was some great lore manipulation.
Shoot, wasn’t David Tennant in that too?
Exactly
woosh
I’m late and this will get buried, but this really speaks to the difference between the open source / ESR / OSI ideology and the free software / RMS / GNU ideology.
Open source ideology says it is better because it produces better software. If MacOS X was closed source and better it serves as a repudiation of that ideology.
Free software ideology says it is better because denying users any of the four freedoms is an immoral act. If MacOS X was proprietary software and better, it would still be immoral to deny users their freedoms; the ideology is not impacted.

Well, you see, I deserve free software for my hobbies, or even my business. You deserve to suck shit and die in a gutter. /s
I think it’s because somebody has to produce that media, and the one producing it gets to choose the license for it, and that license can make it free or non-free.
Now, for open source software, somehow, a lot of people came together and built software that was free. While for movies, shows, books, whatever, the same thing didn’t happen, or at least not to the same extent.
I’m all for FOSS gaming btw.
Someone make a virus for his mac
Just how do we define our metric for best Unix? Cuz it certainly isn’t freedom if Apples winning any awards.
It’s definitely not comparing Server performance because OSX Server flopped in the early 2000’s.
Lol this comment section is on fire. Irony died in 2015.
People like a good flame war 🤷
Just because one understands trolling doesn’t mean it can’t be fun to discuss the things the troll brought up.
Especially when it’s cold outside.
Where’s the fire ?
Thank you, you made a buncha nerds angry and now they’re fighting in the comment section >:(
Agreed. Thank you, but sincerely.
SOLARIS 8 IS BEST UNIX
I guess Mac does win, interesting.
but does Win Mac?
So … the Darwin kernel is insecure? 🧐
did you see 38c3? is there any doubt ios/osx is insecure, hackable and has plenty of rootkits avail? this facebook meme shouldnt trigger any tech savy nerd.
Oh so that’s the number I have seen floating around in memes and such. Chsos Com Congress FYI.
Burn the witch!
What’s a computer?
I still remember the iPad ad where this quote was mentioned and it… idk, it definitely feels a bit weird to me. I’m probably guessing there will be more people who will wonder what a computer is in the future.
And that ad was from before iOS 11. I’m serious.
Became a recluse And bought a computer Set it up in the home Elusive big one On the screen Saw the Holy Ghost, I swear On the screen

I swear, Mark E. Smith was sometimes decades ahead of his time.
Nah, it’s the “best unix” because being one requires paying those SUS bastards.
It can also be said: security by obscurity is the best scenario for the NSA
