Period after double-space: option to turn OFF gone?

Hi there,

I recently upgraded to Ventura, and I noticed that my device has begun inserting a period after I double-space. This is a really inconvenient feature for me and I've disabled it on all my previous devices.

However, the preference to turn the period after double-space OFF seems to have disappeared in the new System Settings format. Am I missing something? If not, does anyone know a command line solution?

EDIT: Found solution HERE. Really tucked away. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/451366/how-to-disable-a-period-after-double-space-in-mac-os-ventura
