I’m not going to use this myself but I don’t know why everyone’s complaining about it so much. It requires opt-in, it does all the processing locally, and if someone nefarious gets to the point they can read this stuff then they’ll already be able to record your screen, log keystrokes, etc. I expect it won’t be straightforward to view the data as well, it’s not just gonna be a folder full of jpegs.

I’m glad that people are actually trying to make interesting features still. OSs have been so boring years now, it’s good to see people actually trying to introduce standout features even if they are controversial. More of this I say.

Well, that someone nefarious who gets access can then only steal from that point on. Recall will allow him to find out you were having a wank last Tuesday at 7PM.

Unfortunately most users don't care about privacy, they only move then (subscriptions) prices rises

Yay, now when your coworkers suggest getting some sushi and you use your laptop to look up the nearest restaurant, you're going to get a paperclip pop up saying "It looks like you're trying to get back to that tentacle porn hentai you nutted to last night. Would you like help with jerking off?"

This is truly awful. Microsoft need to return to sanity. Awful awful awful.

I mean, I get that Microsoft is trying to compete with MacOS and its Time Machine software, but why not just start from there and add the other bits as optional to the user? lol

[-] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Time Machine is just backup software isn't it? It's not doing an involuntary index of all your activity and content you interact with, right?

[-] Horsey@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yes, as far as I know it just backs up the system and user files.
