@GossiTheDog How to permanently remove AI ? 1. Replace Microsoft Windows with Linux or a BSD. But do not replace it with Red Hat Linux or any Red Hat derivatives. I hear RH is adding AI to their distro. 2. For the phone, replace with one of these, but that is not easy. I have never tried but my phone is only used for calls, 2 games and once in a while texting. I know I would have a hard time installing it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_mobile_phones #BSD #Linux

@jmcunx @GossiTheDog RHEL isnt the same as Fedora. I didnt heard anything about Fedora adding any LLM to default installation. That being said, since its mostly RH-run circus do expect a lot of LLMs in the project and community

@jmcunx @GossiTheDog I tried a de-Googled Android by buying a Nextbit Robin and installing LineageOS (about 10 years ago). The OS installation wasn’t that bad, Lineage was great, but the open source software (I’m looking at you F-Droid) at the time was absolute trash. Beyond trash - it was ugly and unusable. The best path forward if you want privacy is to get an iPhone and then turn off all the AI on the phone. I’m sure the situation is better now, but not for mainstream people.
