You would have to recalibrate your interactions, or you'd be breaking things and people constantly.

I used three Meta products:

Whatsapp, Facebook Marketplace, and Instagram. I've completely gone off Insta, I only really used it to see posts and reels my friends sent me.

I don't really know an alternative to WhatsApp and Marketplace that I can use. I'm very careful to not interact with any Facebook advertisements on Marketplace though.

I salivate at the thought of an efficient and effective transit system that I could use every day. I love driving, so I would still own a car. But to have the freedom to not have to drive everywhere would be amazing. I haven't had the opportunity to ride the Shinkansen yet, or visit Amsterdam and see Europe's transit myself, but I intend to visit more countries once I'm able to save up a little.

Riding on VIA is incredibly expensive, on occasion 3-4 times the price of a flight. Incredibly inconvenient, checked luggage and weighed carry-on and all that jazz, despite being a literal railway. Incredibly slow, it's faster to drive to Toronto from Vancouver. VIA is absolutely awful and I will never ride it again until it's fixed. On the other hand, AmTrak from Vancouver to Seattle is not awful. Both are miserable on a world stage but it's like putting the bottom two against each other.

Any friends of mine who got a framework 16 would be at risk of losing an expensive laptop

My old guy's battery is still fine (for reference, fine means about 2-4 hours of screen time, which is about the same as new) but that's only because I keep it locked to 60% and use it as a desktop. I also would want to upgrade to a framework but god they're pricey. Especially the dGPU ones.
