All very valid complaints. The external bootable disk support and the huge size of each minor update (this applies to Intel Macs too) are very annoying. Each update takes a long time to complete, and full recovery of a system is also a time

What’s going to be sad to note over the next few months is yet another record breaking year and another record breaking first quarter for Apple (this is as per Apple’s financial calendar). All these concerns and outrage don’t seem to matter

They made the standalone license almost impossible to find and get, forced a subscription on users, and made the password vault storage online for the subscriptions. Now this self-hosting survey comes as a surprise, and it would be of some

What happens to humans is that we "tech" our way out of this just like we've solved all other problems so far. /s I personally don't think there is any sort of redemption here. Governments aren't acting enough.

You could refine them, group the points and put up a blog post (or a GitHub page) and share that here (as its own submission). If it’s with visual examples, all the more better. I’m sure somebody will find it useful.

No, I like it the way it is. Humans are not that great at receiving feedback. It can also cause more drama and tension than necessary. Downvotes can and will be used to express disagreement and dislike for a position, and that’s ok. Not eve
