Is Merkuro the same thing as Kalendar?

Yes. See this post on Mastodon.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Please tell me that AI is an optional package.

I don't feel comfortable with burning the planet even more.

@RyunoKi @kde @[email protected] it's all optional and you need to go out of your way to configure it. Also it is used for actual useful stuff like translation and is fully offline.

@carlschwan @RyunoKi @kde @[email protected] for more context, the translation support is built on the same software that Firefox uses for offline translations.
