Brie (robot girl)@sophie wow! the privacy first alternative to destroying your privacy

Malin@sophie 3 weeks old, with 1.4k stars...apparently some people value this project.
Anonax@sophie I think this actually fixes the two biggest problems with Recall: it's on by default (although they changed that after pushback), and it's controlled by a thoroughly untrustworthy company with a history of exfiltrating data without meaningful consent and sneakily changing settings when they find it convenient. OpenRecall has other issues, but at least those issues are fixable; MS Recall's are not.
Side note: I feel like these tools are overkill for what they aim to accomplish: most of their utility could be achieved with just a browser extension to save and index the text on each webpage (and some image analysis too?) and maybe a plugin for LibreOffice and Obsidian/Joplin. That approach would also keep messaging apps unindexed, and would have no risk of grabbing passwords since it could tell what's a password field (and could also keep a list of login pages not to index).
toadjaune@sophie Linux users going full : "look, of course it's a terrible idea, but we can't have anything that windows can do but not Linux" X)
ck0@toadjaune That's the KDE moto, isn't it ?
@ck0 maybe it should ^^
charlesesmith@sophie I came to make the joke that OpenTorment was obviously developed by the makers of the TormentNexus, and sure enough…
peacememories@sophie they had me at the screenshot of a melon husk tweet /s
@sophie This is what I hate about current debate about #ai, people tend to throw the baby with the bathwater.
And yes #microsoft_recall has a kernel of good idea implemented by the worst corporation ever
@sophie what the fuck is wrong with people

Angus McIntyre@sophie I am intrigued by the idea of OpenTorment, but I wish to torment others and be tormented by them. Does OpenTorment support a distributed tormentverse based on a robust Torment Sharing Protocol (TSP)?

Why Not Zoidberg? 🦑@sophie Also since it's open source it's actually three guys on two continents that does ALL the work and they have to defend against "slow updates" from people trying OpenTorment coming from XOrment and MS Torment which both has "much quicker updates and more features".
Philipp Riederer@sophie Since the license changed from SIL to WBL, I just cannot stand anyone recommending OpenTorment anymore The real community is around LibreNexus now!
🐙🐙@sophie (openTorment has telemetry baked into the source code)
Etherbloom@sophie plot twist: it has actually good ui/interface, further tormenting you via reverse psychology by removing the usual torment of using foss software.

miketcope@sophie is it free as in speech or free as in fall?
@frueheneuzeit@sophie instead of mere pull requests they take requests to be drawn and quartered.
Jef Poskanzer@sophie What you're referring to as OpenTorment is in fact GNU/Torment, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Torment
Feoh@sophie The torment nexus is one of the most delightful inventions to come out of internet culture IMO :)
@sophie i like the missing documentation, sketchy download-links, and artistic deviations from conventions which establish a wide variety of pain and frustration even before the installation has even started!

meejah@sophie I prefer Free Torment which offers an alternative license and a plethora of pain options, including Pain Plugins and support for all the BDSm distros!
