Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."
I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.
So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.
Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.
This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.
Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.
And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.
Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

Hammerhead sharks are instantly recognizable with their distinct t-shaped heads. Their wide-set eyes give them a nearly 360-degree vision around their body, while their electroreceptors can help them detect prey hiding beneath the sand. Honing in on their targets, hammerhead sharks are the fighter pilots of the open sea. It’s no wonder they are a staff favorite at the Aquarium.🔨🦈🌊
inspired by another post, but one of my favorite things in [high] fashion is the usage of knight aesthetics, armor, weaponry, chainmail, and medieval imagery, especially in women. here are some of my favorite images using these inspirations!
i luv the recycling of historical eras and interweaving pasts and presents and futures into a single look, without losing any of them <3
As you descend the ancient staircase, you see something inside the frozen mountain... A gargantuan, 300 feet tall silhouette of something... Looming over you, like the tattered corpse of a titan.
