tomglib, thank you for the link.
I actually agree with the reasoning of the sierra team about taking a stand against censorship of any kind.
I have been troubled by the absolute power of the companies developing operating systems forever.
Linux is a great promise even though Linus Torvald himself is a bit of tyrant on what happens on Linux.
I learned long time ago that to win a war you also need to be able to fight another day. In this case I welcome Sierra on Linux but the user base is so tiny that I don't think makes a lot of sense to have it as a solely platorm.
My point is that if Sierra wants really promote freedom then the best way is to promote competition, not limit it.
So Sierra on Win and Linux and Mac would be the best way.
Personally I switched to Apple becaue it seems to have more respect for the privacy and security of their users then most tech companies in the Valley. If I change my mind about it I would like to be able to switch to something else. Example I started using Duckduckgo so long ago that I don't even remember last time I used Google.
Companies have freedom too and if Apple doesn't want Alex Jones on iTunes I am Ok, as long as there is another place where he can say his stuff. Fortunately Apple didn't block several apps that still carry his podcast so.. whatever, most people I know don't use itunes anyway.
With all the respect I have for the opinion of the Sierrachart team I beg them to reconsider their stance and again consider to promote freedom through promoting competition.
Sorry for the long post. I didn't intend do deliver a sermon, I would just like to highlight why I think it would be a good thing to have Sierrachart on macOS
Thank you for your patience
