Fi 🏳️⚧️Hey so,
This windows recall thing?
Enables domestic abuse.
Like, flat-out.
This 'feature' means that someone in an abusive relationship now has a canonized part of the OS monitoring their activities that can be then invoked and studied by the abuser.
Ain't no amount of -group policy- bullshit gonna fix this,
because Microsoft -doesn't allow- the granularity of administration required to defuse this for non-corporate users.
"Use Linux" is not an appropriate response.
People do not always have the agency to choose their operational environment and you cannot fix structural unsafety with individual choice.
This is not a jape nor a joke, and I am not willing to countenance this as an argument.
Do not perpetuate abusive situations by blaming a victim for the environment they are in.
Dane 🌎🖖✌️☮️⚛️☸️🕉️@munin Some people are stuck in an MS environment, which sucks. No disparagement here.
I had several people pop up saying "use linux instead" and decided to textually indicate why that was not acceptable.
@munin It's like when I voice my concerns (and that's a nice way of putting it) about the direction my state of residence is taking, and somebody says "well....move."
I'm like cool. Is there a job with the same rate of pay, city government benefits, and willing to hire a 57 year old with very arthritic knees magically waiting for me? WELL?!

Yeah. Been chewing on how to communicate "personal choice cannot fix structural unsafety" effectively.
Luka Rubinjoni@munin @TheLastOfHisName Also, "the linux experience" is still far, far away from the convenience of using Windows or Apple products. It's like the difference between driving a Toyota, and driving some Mad Max style kludge. Yeah, the kludge looks cool, some kludges are way better than Toyotas (while some just aren't), if you know what you are doing you can kludge up some vehicle that's ideally fit for purpose. But for people that just need to get from point A to B and back, Toyota is reasonable.
