@SheriefFYI Not saying it would fix everything, but right now there’s no good option for those who do want to act responsibly.

@DamienPetrilli I just redeemed a gift card in Music for Mac and had to scroll sideways in the sheet to see the default button.
@jgordonshare I think it’s the daemon for the Launch Services database.
On the plus side, it seems like macOS 12.2 may have fixed the frequent lsd crashes that I had been getting.

@jgordonshare I’m not sure how it balances out. There are definitely areas with fewer and worse options than a decade ago, though.
@jgordonshare I will likely migrate the family to encrypted Apple Notes, too.
@jgordonshare I’ve only done Mac-to-iOS, but I think PasswordWallet can also do Mac-to-Mac local sync. Or an old version of 1Password.
