@nixCraft WTF

@nixCraft damn is that forreal? I'm so happy I didn't upgrade to 11 and moved to Linux for daily use..

Windows, more like LoseThose!

@nixCraft Linux had a similar feature years ago. It was designed to track everything you did, so you could find "That document I was editing last Tuesday" or "The music I was listening to while coding that application" and all manner of other complex searches. It was shipped by default in multiple distros. I don't think it took screenshots, but it gathered a hell of a lot of useful, searchable data.

@nixCraft my favourite

here is the video from the ms ceo

@nixCraft

Extracted the video from hellbird...

@nixCraft wtf

@nixCraft I'll rather give my CC to Sony before installing that cursed clippy maximizer

@nixCraft "it's all happening locally"

what a putrid lying sack of shit.

fuck this guy and everyone empowering him.

I'll straight up pull a Cooper Howard on every person responsible for this in the apocalyptic wasteland when it comes.

I'm not a violent person, but this fucker has the AUDACITY to sit there and fucking LIE to me because he thinks I'm too stupid to realize it. dude needs a reality adjustment with a sock full of oranges.

fuck Satya Nadella, fuck Microsoft, fuck "AI"

@nixCraft Satya Nadella is all like

@nixCraft burn it with fire

@nixCraft M$

@nixCraft

I heard a sound, as if the entire infosec industry suddenly cried out.

@nixCraft, fsck that. Did Nadella consider the privacy implications? MS forcing accounts, telemetry, and now screenshots of the desktop to teach AI to build literally a interest profile of the user. This is all a bridge to far for me. Great for additional ad-revenue on a paid software (or is it service now?).

Granted, only a couple of my straggler PCs run Windows 10, but yea, not moving to Windows 11.

@nixCraft pure, unadulterated, uncut, watching over your shoulder while you use your computer.

@nixCraft ffs can adobe please move their software over to Linux. I’m so over this.

@nixCraft sooo I guess if someone wants to visit “a corn site”, the incognito feature on the browser is useless because Recall will make your so called “data visualisation” searchable.

Thats will makes your PC/stuff show ads about what you saw, because there will have a lot advertiser money for that info!

So I guess some folks will need a separate device, with a separate Msft identity just to be sure they can look at corn and be sure it’s stay private.

Thats creepy as hell.

@nixCraft Aaaaand... what about all that storage I need for screenshots taken every 10 seconds?

@nixCraft
It must be a joke .... i hope

@nixCraft
@JayLittle I will never expand my bash history file and Microsoft cannot wield the power of AI or anime in order to get access to those lost commands

@nixCraft At least someone looked at Nadella's eyes and called him a creep

@nixCraft what the actual (checks notes) FUCK!?

@nixCraft why? Yeah, I understand the purpose and commercial possibilities.

But why the convoluted way of taking screenshots? Doesn’t the OS draw the screen? Doesn’t it have access to all data already? Even more than is on the screen?

This sounds like a lazy beginner programmer way of solving things.

‘I don’t want to get into all the APIs and stuff, I just take a sceenshot an run in through AI’.

@nixCraft

@nixCraft yeah, only think I'm sure, is that it will be used for reselling very precise data about users. They just want excuse to hoard it in such a scale.
