Microsoft is relaunching its AI-powered Recall feature, which records everything you do on your PC by constantly taking screenshots.

  • In December, an investigation by Tom’s Hardware found that Recall frequently captured sensitive information in its screenshots, including credit card numbers and Social Security numbers — even though its “filter sensitive information” setting was supposed to prevent that from happening.

      And you are free to feel that way or disagree with me.

        And both of you are being fucking assholes on the internet. This is what I hate the Fediverse userbase for, shit like this. Ffs, shut up!

        Fact is, Windows is being purposefully turned into a surveillance tool. Fact is, Linux sucks.

        The former is undeniable, and EVERYONE should be using Linux because of that.

        The latter is true because it took me TWO DAYS to set up Linux Arch and most people who own a desktop PC are professionals using it for work who don’t have two days to set up an OS or search for one that has minimal setup.

        But let’s assume Arch Linux is being used for the other main Windows use, for gaming. If that’s the case, buying one means you value time more than money, and if you’re building a gaming PC, you value getting what you asked for over ideology.

        Any other Linux OS is subpar for gaming except in niche scenarios where you’ll be on Steam and only Steam.

        In short, we’re fucked. We can’t use Windows or Linux. Fuck Microsoft, fuck Trump, and fuck both of you. GO AWAY.
