@zero101@mastodon.social It's still bad
It'd be better if they left them as Snaps in the Snap store, and left them out of default installs entirely.
I was going to say maybe if enough telemetry tells them people just remove them anyway they'd give up, but I suspect the sort of user who'd uninstall these has also disabled the telemetry in Ubuntu so that's a bit of a wash.

@dunny0@kind.social I don't think it is terrible if some large distro like Ubuntu wants to lean into AI and there's probably a large group of users who will embrace it. I just didn't want it forced into all the other distros based on Ubuntu. I think most Linux users who would care about this have moved away from Ubuntu already anyway. Adding AI features as Snaps means none of the downstream distros need to worry about it because they almost universally swap out Snaps for Flatpaks.
