Additionally, there‘s a difference between Apple Photos the app and Apple Photos the system component (in lack of a better name, maybe someone knows the correct one). Even if you uninstall Apple Photos the app, iOS still retains its basic functionality, for example when viewing photos in the Camera app. The folders where photos are stored don’t change. You just use a different app to view and sync them.

I‘ve been happily using Doom Emacs on Linux as VSCode replacement. When I switched to macOS, I found the experience to be rather slow with significant input lag, though. (And yes, I did use native compilation.) Has something changed in that regard, or did you just accept it?

I‘m not sure if it‘s different in your country, but I only know about DNS-blocking mandated by the government to ISPs. And while I don’t like that in itself and the ChatControl plans are pretty invasive, I would argue that right now we’re still pretty far away from something like the great firewall (and knowing European bureaucracy I don‘t think they’re even ready to deploy something like that from a technical standpoint).

Looking forward to try it once it becomes available in my region. Although I wish I could just use extensions on iOS Firefox… Or at least have a way to sync my bookmarks between Firefox and Safari.

Nowadays the git repository itself is used for installing and updating spacemacs, not the 5 year old releases on github.
