I wasn't sure so I looked it up. It sounds like a sect of Christianity. According to Wikipedia: "The Free Church of Scotland is a conservative evangelical Calvinist denomination in Scotland."

anything to do with John Calvin is very conservative Christian theology.
even the so-called 'Free Church'.
irresistible grace; pre-selection, and so forth.
read Presbyterian (press-buttons)
actually, it's a funny (and sad) theology - God chooses some but not others.
i.e. one is either 'pre-destined' or one ain't!
Mark Twain said it most eloquently …
"Heaven goes by grace.
If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in."

Dual booting Windows 11 on 2018 15" MBP, just for fun, checked Copilot on Edge. A simple click on that little square on the right... That square appears on any image...

Um, I don’t follow — is it something good?

I have to test that a bit more, especially on this thread. So many lovely photos! The AI is right there when using Windows 11 in the same MBP. Also less brightness is needed and screen looks livelier. I clicked on this photo for example and immediately got info about that building. Yes, I suppose it is something good. 😊 I can't do that with macOS.
