How do you choose between Bluefin and Bazzite? Can you do any gaming from Bluefin, or is Bazzite a requisite for an easy functional setup for this?

I find using LLMs for summaries of news headlines to be quite helpful. Many headlines in my RSS feeds have turned awfully "clickbaity" over the years. Using an LLM at the individual article level, it's usually a pretty great way to produce a new informative headline from the full article body. It makes the information much more relevant, and better allows me to decide whether I want to read the full article or not.

(Just as an example of practically useful functionality, while I agree that the technology still falls short of expectations and dreams in many other domains)

I seem to recall the past paid upgrades being timed to release with new macOS versions, but this one comes out ahead of WWDC in June, where presumably a new version will be unveiled. Is this related to the network filter extensions, so there's no longer the same risk of OS version incompatibilities?

An issue that's not unique to this developer, is that I'm having trouble determining what their update policy will be regarding the now previous version. Based on their past procedure, I'm not expecting it'll work with the next major macOS version, but it would be wonderful with clearer expectations on what types of bugs or security issues (if any) they commit themselves to fixing after the new version is out.

Depending on how much storage you need, and whether you need instant or delayed access to your files, there's a couple of ideas like

- Scaleway's new AWS S3 Glacier-like storage (75GB free, in Paris)

- OVH's regular object storage vs. "cloud archive" (multiple EU locations)

- Wasabi (S3 compatible, but prepays for 1TB) (in Amsterdam)

The "cold" storage options are obviously cheaper, but have bigger problems in my experience of playing nice with backup and sync solutions like rclone.
