They keep claiming that and then proceeding anyways with maybe a short period of backtracking. I'll believe them when they've actually stayed backed off until the end of the ai bs. That said I'm never going back. I switched to Linux over 2 years ago in part because of the initial recall scandal.

Yeah this is what these companies do every time they get some heat. They never actually listen and fix their shit, they just back off and wait a couple of months until people are outraged about something else, then add it back in when they think nobody's looking. Rinse and repeat until everyone's too sick of hearing about it/tired of fighting it to continue.

Same here. Switched to Mint, now on Fedora. I've gotten used to the ecosystem and I much prefer it to Windows. Will never go back now.

I switched when XP came out. Microsoft started enshitifying then and never stopped.
