This is a huge opportunity. All of us Linux geeks now need to be on mainstream social media platforms and actively seek out and help everyone who expresses an interest in switching from Windows to Linux.

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 hours ago

I guess that means I have to break out the old GOATSE wall paper.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 16 points 5 hours ago

Have to admit, the name "Recall" does have a better ring to it than "Take a Screenshot Every 3 Seconds".

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 58 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

It's a pretty bold move to advertise the inclusion of a key logger in your OS.

[–] eronth@lemmy.world 26 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Not just keylogger. It's a screenlogger too.

[–] admin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

Ardamax Keylogger takes screenshots too, should they change the name?

[–] turnip@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Youd already be using Linux Mint or Ubuntu if you cared about not being data mined.

I've been Linux only since 2016, after a decade of "trying " to move over. I do still have a partition for the increasingly rare event that I need something MS, which so far has been one class in my University that required a lockdown browser for a test.

[–] UsoSaito@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago

Mint is easy to use too if you don't want to fiddle around with various packages.

How long until Microsoft gets accused of stealing classified info?

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 1 points 29 minutes ago

I’m sure most corporations have agreements that prevent M$ from using this. Or M$ has to host all of its data gathering on azure government.

Nahh bro just use third party script then re run it every update 🤡

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (3 children)

That's literally what Linux updates are

Anyway if you read the article it's opt in and fully removable.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Till they change their mind again. Ms in my experience also really like to disregard your settings

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Not as bad as google, but yeah they have a tendency to overstep. The only way to make settings stick is the traditional way, which is the group policy editor. Settings there usually stick for 20-30 years

[–] UsoSaito@feddit.uk 4 points 5 hours ago

Normally they'd say this and then change it again. That's pretty much how every "feature" they've added to their OS and it is becoming a little too bloaty.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

They update, this third party script is to make windows less rapey

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Tell me you're a young man without telling me you're a young man.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 2 hours ago

I wish haha

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago

We live in weird age, where using Windows is becoming harder than Linux (even though it has its own issues).

[–] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 34 points 13 hours ago

I always “Recall” how shitty windows is, whenever I see the word mentioned.

[–] poopkins@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

This comment is critical of Microsoft because the company name was mentioned in the article.
