I contribute where I can, nothing significant.

However, nothing beats Apple maps IMO. I have an iPhone which I hotspot data to and basically only use it as a GPS when driving. I can’t use my Android device as I prefer using Apple CarPlay and GrapheneOS does not support Android Auto.

I use Magic Earth or OSMand when I don’t have my iPhone with me.

That is exactly why I choose to use FOSS including Linux. As much as I want to standby this principle, I have come to a breaking point after dealing with its issues, issues we have all experienced. I believe it is hands down the best choice for server use, but for work and productivity, I need something more matured that is going to work out of the box. I am glad that the community here took this criticism well but I think it’s important to discuss and understand that there are still some strides to be made. But at the end of the day, I’m just some guy ranting and who knows, maybe I’ll be installing a Linux distro after a month of using Mac OS.

The episode is called “The entire history of you”

a father was recording his kids in 3D through his Vision Pro

Didn’t Black Mirror have an episode on this? Having the tech being used in day to day seems a little dystopian to me.

I will never stop using Linux, special place in my heart. But for my primary work machine and daily driver, I need something that is just going to work.

Sounds like this is the way I’m going to go. I’ll try the hackintosh route to test the waters before shelling out on a Mac if I decide so.

I am using a Thinkpad with Ubuntu LTS. From the few bugs I did research, they’re reported but seem pretty stale.

Yeah the telemetry in M$ Windows is what is stopping me. I have no need for Windows, I don’t play many games. I do agree with the Apple hardware argument, I am thinking of doing a hackintosh to test the waters.
