RemoveMacAI

I don't want AI. I am preparing for a jump (back) to Linux. "Choice" disappeared, and yes, I know about the "fix" [0] Maybe this idea may be foreign to many, but personal computers were something I built from bags of parts socketed and/or soldered onto S-100 cards, and that experience was the foundation of most of my career.

Most of my recent work has been in open source, with 60 merged PRs across Volcano, zot, OneBusAway, Kyverno and Grafana. It's usually the same pattern: I hit something broken, track down the actual cause, prove it with a test that fails on the old code, and send the fix. I also built RemoveMacAI (https://github.com/omlahore/RemoveMacAI), a small macOS tool that turns off Apple Intelligence and removes its models through Apple's own asset service, with SIP left on. It got 130+ stars in its first week.
