No, Google will keep fucking you over and destroying the Internet, whether you pay or not. Not to mention the fact that what they pay out to creators is absolutely pathetic. Go find their Patreon, their Ko-fi, hell their paypal, anything bu

I regret to tell you the ODWAC is made up of unqualified morons preying on your fears then. The ocean's average radioactivity is 12Bq/L, and there's a _lot_ of water. A single banana is 20Bq already. Dump a few million litres

Presumably, because this isn't about Apple. They don't care about Apple. Merely about getting the M1/M2 arch to run Linux properly. It could have been Microsoft, Amazon, Google, treatment would have been the same.
