So, I can pay less and avoid the AI?Sounds too good to be true.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/expat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#expat</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/voip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#voip</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a>
