From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm ready to deactivate it if it comes with any active component.

What do you mean by active component? Is processing the audio being played back to add subtitles active?

Sending the audio to an LLM in the sky. But I assume it would be local?

It says pretty explicitly that it only runs on the user's machine.

Not sure where you are confused. If any part of this feature is active by default I will disable it.

Even non-AI subtitles are off by default, what exactly are you expecting to be on?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Exactly this makes no sense. Which tool would force subtitles

The way you wrote this, I thought you meant that if it required a cloud service you would turn it off. But now I think you're just saying you wouldn't use this feature.

I share the confusion over your definition of "active". You got all defensive when someone asked, so now no one really knows what you meant.
