The vast majority of users are not downloading anything that’s not signed in the first place. What that does do it prevent copy-cat apps from being able to be side loaded and steal data.
Techies (I am one) really have to think beyond the scope of their own relationship with technology.

It’s just different than you’re used to. For what it’s worth I barely see a difference between IOS has less foot guns, which some see as restricting freedom but it also makes the device one less thing I have to think about (I maintain servers, I don’t want to maintain my phone too)

I particularly enjoyed two weeks ago when my Ubuntu install just reverted my video driver to VGA defaults and it took me the better part of an hour to figure out how to fix it (never figured out why it happened).

Genuinely, this is why I suggest Macs to anyone non tech savvy. None of Windows hassles, but stability, no ads in the start bar. For the vast majority (non-tech people) it just works.

To be fair that’s your opinion. I remember seeing a piece of his in the Tate Modern at 18 and being utterly transfixed. I’m ok with having a different perspective

I’d say give it a shot if you’re near a museum with one. Worst case is you’re in an art museum.
Yea. AI “art” is universally bull shit.

I’ll give a pass to anything created by a human. He was unique and the first. Soemthing AI fundamentally can never be.

Again, fair enough. I don’t like much abstract art but I find a humanity in the chaos of Pollock. If you haven’t seen one of his canvas in person I’d recommend it, if only for intellectual curiosity (which you seem to have as well)
