  1. Emacs: the world’s most powerful editor. Does ∗your∗ editor’s extension language understand closures and lexical binding? Emacs’ Elisp does. Notice I didn’t say “text editor”, I said “editor”. I have successfully used it to edit binary files.

  2. The trouble with a big company like Apple is that there can be different factions. For example, the more savvy engineers likely look on Asahi as a cool project, and would like to unofficially support it as much as they can. But the beancounters and lawyers and basically Tim Cook’s entire inner circle are going to see it as an obstacle on their path towards the move to eventually renting out, rather than selling, Apple hardware and software, so at some point they will likely move in and put a stop to it.

  4. They are the smart ones who don’t get taken in by a big company’s ad campaigns into somehow believing that it does favours for its customers. Above all, they believe that, if you buy something, you own it. That’s not an attitude that Apple is comfortable with these days.
