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.
arclight@munin This needs to be laser-engraved on a baseball bat and used to percussively educate that miserable fraction of Linux users that keep saying "jUsT uSe LiNuX" as if that was ever a universal solution to anything. I've been a mostly happy Linux user since around 1994 and I cannot tell you the number of times I've wanted to shove obtuse evangelistas into traffic over this. Christ, they're awful.
