I¹ve decided to move all my computers to Free software because I have
little to no control over what Apple, MS, and Adobe do and they all seem to
want to move everything into the cloud, discontinue important programs (I¹m
looking at Apple and their abandonment of Aperture),

blame users. too few people bought aperture for it to be a viable
product.

and otherwise mess
with my workflow. I¹ve been an Apple user for decades and I will not buy
any more of their products. I wish them well with their phoney cloudy
nonsense.

nothing requires anyone to use apple's icloud or any other cloud.
