As someone who has to support MacOS desktop....... It functionally is?

Ok sure, it's not as bad as Android or iOS, but it's far from "anyone can simply download and run"

[-] Wodge@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

TIL Android is a walled garden.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well, courts seemed to think so in the Epic v Google case

[-] Wodge@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Google Play Store is, kinda, but Android itself is not.

How is it “functionally” walled? How is it far from “anyone can simply download and run”? It literally is just that. Anyone can download anything and run any unsigned code. I am baffled by the fact that all the people correcting you are getting downvoted.

You can literally run anything you want on MacOS

[-] Rooki@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Except, what apple dont want you to run.

[-] ji17br@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Incorrect. Apple does not need to approve or sign any code for it to run on any Mac.

Yes, Counter-Strike is available for MacOS.

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ not according to steam, but regardless there are literally thousands of games that do not run on Macs so still an ignorant statement

I’m just curious of an example of a game or two you play that’s not available on Mac. There’s some newish tech that allows Macs to virtualize/emulate windows tech including DirectX 12. Not coming for you I’m just curious to test those waters.

(I don’t play computer games, sorry for not knowing)

Virtualization means it's not running on MacOS...

And, I don't have a Mac so definitely not something I pay any attention to, but it's pretty easy to see if a game on steam supports MacOS.

Far Cry 6 doesn't run on MacOS. I'd imagine most Ubisoft games don't.

Edit: oh, and Counter-Strike 2... Doesn't play on MacOS. Apparently I had to be specific about the "2" version.

but it's far from "anyone can simply download and run"

But it is? You can just right click and run any apps from any source on macos.
