Wow, that looks freakishly like Jack Quaid. Reminds me of this resemblance:

Not OC, by the way. Just relevant fan art that I know of.
The purple-haired one (who apparently is called Tongo Rad) kind of looks like a Boimler.
Unfortunately, he’s canonically not human, but if he were, it would have been really funny to have a throwaway line about Boimler’s great-great grandfather being “in a weird cult of space hippies searching for Eden or something.”
“This is Dan, and that’s Dan, and there’s Marty at the helm to complete the crew. And I’m John and he is also John and all of us are wondering when you’re gonna die.”
Or Aurelan Kirk. Or Peter Kirk
Luckily, I’m down to just an iPhone.
I used to use iPad Minis, but I was otherwise more of a Windows guy until 2022.
The only other kind of Apple thing I have is a GPU-accelerated Hackintosh running under KVM, which mostly gets used for adding non-streaming songs to my Apple Music library these days. I do plan to quit Apple Music eventually - I’ve been collecting and ripping CDs by TMBG, which is mostly what I listen to anyway.
Now I just envision Batman saying,”Today is a good day to die!”
The difficult reality is many people, no matter how interested and technically skilled, aren’t going to have the time, money (yes, money, due to hardware), and energy to immediately go with fully self-hosted OSS paired with a LineageOS (or similar) phone.
For one, you have to either acquire the hardware to run a server for self-hosting or get a VPS (admittedly not a huge financial hurdle, but still effort required). Additionally, you then have to take the time to migrate from iCloud to the alternatives. There’s also the fact that it’s a moderately expensive proposition to purchase a new phone capable of running something more libre like LineageOS. Until you switch operating systems, Apple makes using at least a little bit of iCloud difficult; for instance, you’ll probably need to use Find My at least once.
These reasons largely explain why I’m still on iPhone for now. I usually don’t use iCloud for the storage, but I frequently have to use Photos, Mail, and Find My.
I certainly plan to jump ship, but being stuck for now due to personal circumstances, I can’t blame OP.
iCloud web app has a calendar web app, along with others I haven’t listed.
Yeh. Also, Debian tends to hold back packages like that automatically. It’s just a really obnoxious thing to deal with for me, and Flatpak allows me to circumvent that.
Though truth be told, I’m thinking of just staying on Trixie once it hits stable. While Testing certainly has its uses and I rather love it, there’s simply times where I don’t want to deal with the odd system maintenance ordeals, as comparatively rare as they are relative to other rolling release distros. I’ve been rather enjoying Bookworm on my laptop for a year now, which makes me think I would enjoy it on desktop.
Yeh. I totally could compress this to crap, but I didn't.
If I’m paying five figures, that Miranda better have explosives in it for true authenticity!
