    Something horrible must have happened, if macOS users are curling shell scripts from the internet to make their desktops more like Linux.

      Nope. The only people who notice or care about any of this are those who can't accommodate the storage. Outside that, it all just works better now (especially Siri).

        Do people actually use Siri AI on the Mac? Whenever I need something done that needs AI on a mac I just use Claude Code.

        I can imagine Siri AI being useful on iOS because of its deep integration to the OS. But for MacOS there’s better tools

          I'll probably use it at some point. I don't have any interest in installing apps from, or paying money to OpenAI or Anthropic.
