I used a Macbook Pro (M1) for work and I loved it. But a few years in, liquid glass ruined everything making it laggy and incredibly frustrating to use. I had already installed Asahi and I switched to that full time, accepting some battery loss but keeping the excellent hardware still.

So, my point is that you might be able to have the best if both worlds. Look at the Asahi documentation and see if a supported (or even planned) device works for you, and use MacOS until you want to switch to Asahi. I would recommendation installing Asahi ASAP though in case Apple breaks it like they did with OS 27.

Just a suggestion based on my experience, do what seems best for you!

I think OsmAnd is great, but I personally prefer the cleaner feel of CoMaps. Just preference.

And the flamingo is just the headliner. There's also seals, turtles, birds, etc

I agree, but also Waterfox just generally has a more free/unmonitozed default and the AI stuff is just an example. It's a one-time switch to Waterfox and it' will forever turn off/on the stuff that you would otherwise have to do manually.

I think this is a poor mentality. You're essentially giving in and increasing Google's network effect, making privacy harder for everyone. Choosing to use a more private service where possible will shift the power slowly, and there's really no downside with email. You can do this with a free tier, no money required until it's worth it for yourself.

They eat bugs and stuff. Not spiders though, that's a myth (unless they're already dead maybe).

I would love to see this by county for more detail. My state has a different language than my county and I know the counties around me are different too

He argues that models will become commodity infrastructure and that innovation and pricing power will have to move up the stack.

The likely winners will be the companies that control software distribution and delivery – operating system vendors like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, and cloud service providers like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.

That's wild to me because they're everywhere where I live. I wonder if they're #2 in at least a few places, just barely not getting a spot
