    Reminds me of all the de-crufting you've always needed to do when you install Windows. Looks like we've gotten to the point on macOS too, where you need to run third party scripts on a new OS installation to gain back control of your system resources and remove unwanted crapware.

      Not gonna lie, I would like a "Black Edition" of macOS. There is a decent OS buried under tons of rubble.

        Sorry where's the rubble? The OS is pretty thin feature-wise. It's not like certain other OS that literally ship with ads and third-party games.

          I'm not a Mac user, but maybe he is talking about Apple Intelligence, as one example :D
