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.
Steps to Disable or Uninstall 'Recall' in Windows 11 24H2
there are multiple options here depending on how comfortable you are digging into your computer's registry. You can either simply disable it surface level through settings or excise it entirely from the system registry
reblogging again as a cautionary tale to please PLEASE fucking make a system restore point before you do anything. i consider myself tech savvy and still nearly bricked my computer. and make sure you know how to access safe mode
I almost made a post about this the other day (unless i actually did and totally forgot) but thereβs so many
I was going to make a list, but then i realized this is a good time to share this book
Making Stuff and Doing things is a whole collection of old punk DIY zines about making and doing just about anything, even things you probably never knew you wanted to do.
Book binding? In there.
Making bowls from old vinyl records? I made a whole ton for my brotherβs grad party last year.
Basics of guitar? Making rubber stamps? Silk screening? Composting? Homemade beer, root beer, and wine? Soymilk?? Quill pens??? All in there.
Since itβs more punk, it doesnβt have a ton of the folksy, cottage vibes/hobbies, but itβs all about being resourceful and sustainable, which they both have in common.
If i ever need to do anything Iβm not sure of, I double check this book to see if thereβs anything in there. Itβs one of the only books on diy Iβve ever needed.

Winter has come and the cold is eating away at our bodies. Help us.π¨π¨π¨π¨πππππ₯Ίππ
Winter has come and we are still living in a dilapidated tent that has melted from the heat of the summer sun. It no longer protects us from the summer heat or the winter cold. We made a tent out of some worn-out fabrics, and with the first drop of rain, it got wet and water entered us. We shivered from the cold. I hugged my six children in a desperate attempt to warm them. I cried a lot and my children cried. I cried for our situation. There are no winter clothes. We wear summer clothes that do not protect or shield us from the cold. I did not find anything to buy to warm us, and if I found anything, it was expensive at exorbitant prices. Life has exhausted us. Our souls have become weak and tired. I am no longer able to resist. The world is deaf and blind. Do you not see us? Do you not hear our cries for help? We are human beings who deserve to live with dignity. Help us. Donate to us. Help us to escape from this life. I want to find a safe haven for my children, to live in peace without worry and thinking. Thank you to those who listened to my cries, donated to me, and helped me.πππππ₯Ίππππππ΅πΈπ₯π₯

here's the story. i know expressvpn has been recommended in some π΄ββ οΈ how-to posts but it is not trustworthy. the parent company, kape technologies, not only used to distribute malate but has ties to multiple state surveillance agencies. and be careful where you look for info about good vpns, because kape technologies owns a bunch of "vpn review" sites too
