So, if you don't want Calibre to have an LLM, I believe your point of no return is version 8.11.
Luckily, since Debian Stable is reasonable, the repository still has 8.5.
The thing I would recommend is if you use Calibre regularly and do not want any "ai" garbage, mark your version now in APT and hope that the @grimthorpe 's Clbre fork project continues to advance (I have hope) so that it will make a newer version of Calibre without LLM's easy to install.
For the time being, my Debian (and Debian based distro) friends, you can mark the current version to be safe.
Just run:
sudo apt-mark hold calibre
And to check that it worked, run:
apt-mark showhold

Would you help me with an issue? Two almost identical #Lenovo #x13 2-in-1 Gen 5: one is able to use the correct screen resolution of an external TFT, the other one not.
Here's what I did so far: https://karl-voit.at/2025/09/14/fix-wrong-34-TFT-resolution/
The only thing with a difference I found so far is within the output of "lspci -v" which lists different capabilities. But I don't know what to do next ...
Remember my #issue with same hard- and software but one device doesn't support the native resolution of an external TFT?
I found some time to re-test certain things:
Issue sticks to the SSD when switched between the 2 #X13 devices -> it's a software bug.
Same BIOS settings, same GRUB settings, same BIOS firmware but different "Capabilities" reported by "lspci -v":

Got any further idea I can check?

Users of #GNOME#Evolution mail client: in #Debian13#Trixie, the Message-ID search (via command line) is broken. 😔
It got fixed already (see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/3079) but the fix version 3.57.1+ is too new in comparison to the Debian version 3.56.1-1.
There is a workaround to do a manual search within the UI:
Search → Advanced Search: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/evolution/help/mail-searching.html
"Add Condition" → switch from "Sender" to "Free Form Expression"
mid:""
It will get fixed in Debian in four years. 🙄
HTH
