   So tired of AI being forced into every single product I use. I don't want these features. I never used them, I have no desire to use them.

   If you want to ship AI on a product, please make it opt-in. Don't keep nagging me to use whatever bullshit feature you came up with cause AI hype is high.

     I'm literally slowly switching away from products cause they keep shipping this bs and keep trying to make me use it. They never offer a "switch off AI forever" toggle, they have stupid dark patterns such as "decide later" which is a coward option.

     The only app that done this right is BBEdit. They have AI worksheets if you want, but it is up to you to configure and use them. They have no nagging screen and it is not on your face. Which is why I am keeping it as my main editor.

     Gonna slowly switch away from Github for new projects. Tired of SaaS managed by others, will go towards self-hosted Fossil SCM cause that is good enough for me.

     If at some point Apple becomes more obnoxious about AI (am not happy with Apple intelligence at all), I will look into maybe going back to either Linux or Haiku or even NetBSD.

     @mcepl you are not lying, you were not given an option to tell the truth. Those are not the same. You're doing fine. Also, fuck those dark patterns.

     If there is one thing I started to really dislike in the last couple of months, it is that everybody (from McDonald’s downwards in terms of sleaziness) started to force me to lie, that I would ever return to that choice later. No, I will never give to Ronald McDonald Charity (for reasons), and I will never change my mind about it! Now I see the similar forcing me to lie in FLOSS projects. Ugh!
