Mac already lets you install apps directly from developers

I just find this language interesting. How a computer now "lets" you install non-walled garden software, as if that hasn't been the default behavior for personal computers for over 40 years since the beginning.

    I get what you’re saying and I hate that I had to write it like that. Was saying it to point out that Mac’s just aren’t as locked down as other Apple devices so won’t be subject to the EU ruling anyway.

    The entire argument is stupid anyway.

    But I thought that the whole thing about the mac was that it wasn't a personal computer (pc)?

    What, does it still belong to Apple after you buy it? Lol
