Man it's so funny how the only company that even thinks about allowing you to not have AI, gets so much shit from people.
OK you don't like AI, you can turn in off. They added an option for that. Meanwhile Chrome is automatically downloading 4gb worth of models without your consent. Same with basically each other browser.
Folks are free to use whichever distro they like, Librefox, Waterfox, but remember that without Mozilla foundation the very engine would stop working. Then these forks will not work anymore. Then where will you go? Chromium? Safari?
It's important to keep companies accountable, but nothing is ever black and white.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
I think you have to enable it now too, they heard people weren’t fans and responded.
I like that.
