In case you forgot about Microsoft Recall, it looks like it will reappear in your Copilot+ computer soon running Windows 11. I am sure you are all thrilled with the idea of a screenshot being taken of your screen every 3 seconds, right? https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/04/microsoft-is-putting-privacy-endangering-recall-back-into-windows-11/?utm_brand=arstechnica&amp;utm_social-type=owned&amp;utm_source=mastodon&amp;utm_medium=social #Microsoft #Copilot #Recall #Spyware #Computer #Technology #Privacy #Windows

@jon@social.vivaldi.net I truly think, now is the time for people to consider, Linux. Do not wait until Windows 10 support ends. -- Why? Any life choices work best when you do things in your own time on your schedule without any pressure. People who wait until Windows 10 support ends, will feel rushed, make quick and poor choices, get frustrated, likely learn nothing, and hop right back onto Windows. It is best if people try Linux, when they have all the time in the world, and do not feel rushed or pressured. They can make better informed choices that way.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net There are many other choices to this Corporate Collators Control Program nonsense. Why ? Why ... Pay good money to have some rich twats steal your hardware and mental space ?

@jon@social.vivaldi.net The upcoming anniversary of the launch of Recall weirdly correlates with the anniversary of me finally making the switch to linux #Recall

@jon@social.vivaldi.net I'll just leave this here https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat. I run it after every update now while I plan my move off Microsoft. Shout out to @EndeavourOS@mastodon.social whom I've been enjoying on my other machines.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net Who EVER asked for this? Who? But the shit we actually ask for takes years to be added or even never.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net Sadly, even switching to Linux won’t protect you from the privacy-busting implications of interacting with other people who have Windows machines with Recall enabled. Microsoft are not just compromising their own ecosystem, they are compromising the security of the entire Internet.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net "You are always in control." The systems industry's all-time biggest lie. Also typically the first unintentional signal you're not the least in control. Because when a giant tech company tells you this, it unpacks as follows: "We're in control of this of this thing, not you. All we're doing is giving you a UI switch we can pull back anytime. We/our people may or may not abuse it. But we're on your/our side. Trust us. And just click 'Yes' to our limited liability..."

@jon@social.vivaldi.net THIS is the time to move to Linux! You have so many options, some are even very similar to Windows's GUI. And, I think you won't miss the tracking, or will you? #microsoft #Windows #Windows11 #Linux

@jon@social.vivaldi.net Not my screen, cuz I'm not running Windoge 11, but anyone who is, and looks at my posts for 3 seconds gets me collected. My current cunning strategy is to never write anything worth looking at for more than three seconds.
