This is like the case of online searches on Unity/Ubuntu. A non-essential, irremovable (non-destructively), annoying bit of software on my system.
- aibara 11y agoYou could always easily disable online searches in Ubuntu's Unity environment. And in 16.04 it's now off by default.
- gkya 11y agoIIRC it was not easily disabled when it was first introduced, the control was added after community reaction. However, I just included as another example. Further, I don't know the situation now, but IIRC you can't remove (i.e. delete the code, not disable) zeitgeist and online searches, keeping Unity, those are hard dependencies, even though non-essential.
