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.
NO NAMEFor those who must use Windows 11 - here is how to disable Recall:
- Open a command prompt as Administrator (Local Admin should do)
- Type: Dism /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Recall
Disclaimer
Do understand and Please Read - This may hinder some features of the new file explorer. Because Microsoft never learns.

I use Directory Opus, xplorer² is pretty good too. I've heard of xyplorer but not tried it, and there's another that's in pre-release that looks really good but I can't remember the name
edit: I found it! it's been released too - https://files.community/
