What is the more general discussion, like outside of Mastodon, about Microsoft Recall travesty?
I recognize that who and what I read is heavily influenced by data-safety-ethics-rights and so on.
Are average computer users aware of the dangers?
As a recovering Cancer patient, having Microsoft track my interactions with my doctors....ummm..NO!!!!!!
It's going to be hard enough to get my insurance to actually cover my care without that.
@kristinHenry part of today's stand-up meeting was people on my team asking me which Linux distro I use on my home desktop/laptop because people know I don't use Windows
I asked what caused the question and it was Recall which caused those that heard the news to get others who hadn't to understand the implications of it.
@TomLarrow I'm thinking I really need to switch back to Ubuntu again. Ugh.
I was on linux for years, and then *had* to learn how to get my work done on Windows for work. That made a lot of stuff a lot easier. But...ugh.
@kristinHenry I just want to be a person who uses a computer. Not a source of data to be exploited
It all just feels like power grabs by all these companies as they compete to see who can grab the most data they can in the shortest time frame
@TomLarrow Oh my god! So much this!
I just want to go about my life, and do my work, and not be harvested by some greedy tech-co.
It's so very colonial, abusive, so many things that are not good at all.
keeps vis.social running
