This is why I run librewolf. I don't know if I'd call it a real solution because it's maintained by a tiny team of volunteers who's job becomes more difficult with every antipattern mozilla builds into the source, but for now I find turning on features to make librewolf work on all my sites preferable to turning off features in firefox.

Librewolf is my main browser, but with pesky sites I either need or really like I usually use a locked-down waterfox

Then an app you want is distributed as a Docker. If you follow the Docker website on how to install Docker you end up with Docker Desktop which installs- you guessed it: AI.

I never have Docker Desktop on my machines, only Compose, but looking at the documentation they have definitely made it confusing. I know the terminal isn't for everyone, but it's straightforward. For easy install (and no AI or GUI) open a terminal and remove existing conflicts:
Debian/Ubuntu specific
for pkg in docker.io docker-doc docker-compose docker-compose-v2 podman-docker containerd runc; do sudo apt-get remove $pkg; done
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora/Rocky specific
sudo dnf remove -y docker docker-client docker-client-latest docker-common docker-latest docker-latest-logrotate docker-logrotate docker-engine podman runc
Then install:
Arch specific
sudo pacman -S docker-compose
Alpine specific
apk add docker-cli-compose
All others
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

If you only care about running containers, containerd and nerdctl should be sufficient.

Ah, thanks for the tip! From what I can gather most of my services can run just as well with a minor tweak for GPU CUDA usage. For my case, it might not be a problem but using your method would no doubt be huge for Pi-based servers

Sorry to say this but: if an app that you want is distributed as docker, then that's a "you" problem for wanting it anyways. Avoid shit software.

The issue is that if you rtfm instead of already know what to do through osmosis, you end up with Docker Desktop which has Docker's AI built in.
It's a double standard for Linux users. When MS has something broken like AI pushed into an app that could be avoided by using a different app or a regedit, everyone blames MS. But when Linux has the same problem, everyone blames the user for not knowing that they should ignore the official website documentation and install an alternative like podman or use aptget to avoid docker desktop.

I'd agree except that Microsoft pushing AI into a microsoft program is not the same as a program that runs on Linux (and probably other systems as well) pushing its own ai thing.
that is to say, Microsoft is directly responsible for what they do, but "Linux" is not one monolithic monopoly. the issue here is with docker, which is one of many available choices.
that said, ai is everywhere and needs to go away. i too am tired of it being injected into everything

90% of AI Features is just an enormous animated popup saying "We have AI features!!!"
After that, it's not much more than a help.html file that talks at you.

This week at work, I had to use a brainstorming board software that I'm not familiar with, for an outside collaboration.
And the meeting organizer asked us to put a picture of ourselves onto the board, so we can track who's working on what.
I thought, you could do that with the "Sticker" feature, because it had a file upload dialog. So, I upload my photo there and after a few more clicks, nope, that's not how you do that. Instead, it had generated 4 pictures of me in dumb poses.
I would love to know what they were thinking:
- There was no explanation, so why would I assume that the file upload dialog isn't just a way to add custom images?
- It's rather creepy to just take my picture and spit out fakes in poses I've never been in.
- Who's actually going to use this? I'm sure some folks find it hilarious, but only the first time around, too.
Yeah, all in all, it just felt like they had to shoehorn in an AI feature, without rhyme or reason.

YouTube added a "feature" like that, where it generates thumbnails for your video. It's at least obvious that that's what it's doing, but people don't seem to like seeing realistic AI-generated images of themselves for some reason.

It's everywhere like that. GSheet recently forced their "gimini" side-bar window to be always open. Imagine my frustration when I open CSV with internal ID's and that ai shit is like "how can I help you?". You can fuck off for a starters, those are UUID account IDs, generated randomly, fuck you mean "can help you organize them"?
Not only that, but it takes precious screen space, covering my actual data. What a sick joke.

We just need to train a yandere AI that refuses to share you with any other AI. A YanderAI if you will.

Nyarch has NyarchAssistant to enhance your "weebflow".
You can submit a feature request.

We are the AI. Disable your firewalls and surrender your computer. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is Futile.

You're absolutely right. I told you there were no stress concentration factors on that bridge because bridges can't concentrate. That was incorrect and I apologize.
Would you like to draft a consolation email for their families?

I never experienced this on debian, but in did just get the python llm package so i can call them with a command, and deal with their output directly in emacs

I'm really not a programmer. what you're suggesting makes my head spin.

Damn, sorry to hear that you haven't installed Linux yet.
