I have an m3 now (I had an m1. I later found out about 3 other laptops had issues around the same time so I actually suspect something weird in remote management, but I don’t know mac well enough to assert that more). They decided that since I technically, however frustratingly and measurably more slowly, can do my work, it’s not worth the “security risk”. I still bring it up at basically every opportunity and I’m not the only one. I live in a very remote area of Japan and remote jobs are hard to come by, so, at the same time, I’m not making too much noise.
I imagine data security and what the government would know is putting some off. It is part of the reason the national ID (My Number) faltered.
Off the top of my head, and I’m sure there are more, people use: tinder, bumble, Pairs, Zwei, Zekushi, and probably more. Pairs and Zwei, at least, are geared toward long-term and marriage. Pairs had a very bad UX and, of course, a cost. I did meet some people on there, but nothing lasted (one nearly did, but I wasn’t doing another LTR with a barely-functional alcoholic that otherwise was a great match).
