jfc. If I'd known downgrading my Mac from the beta was going to be such a rigmarole I would not have installed the beta. Oh well.

My threat model?

Privacy and security maxxing but usability comes first.

I love listening to music so I would need devices that support high quality Bluetooth codecs.

My options?

Chinese phones and modern Linux distros on desktop with Pipewire, like secureblue. They support aptX codecs.

And on the desktop, nothing can beat KDE Plasma when it comes to usability. Not Winzort and not macOS.

Ok so the builds have been fixed, but we need to rerun the latest run because of a timeout error with the #macOS #Intel builds.

Usually like to use librewolf but for some things need a chromium based browser, which ones have support full privacy/ad blockers, no ai, but are otherwise feature comparable with chrome…

auto update is a bonus but not essential, windows, mac, and linux versions needed…

Thanks in advance!
