"You need to try Linux" - tchncs

Originally this was a reply to this article [https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/04/microsoft-is-putting-privacy-endangering-recall-back-into-windows-11/] about a Windows feature called Recall, but there’s a good argument the author’s concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

What exactly in the privacy agreements is this person worried about? All I’m seeing is PANIC but without a reason given…

I work for Meta (Facebook).
For example, the word “protest” will now get your account and activity monitored.

That groan you hear is users’ reaction to Recall going back into Windows

Snapshotting and AI processing a screen every 3 seconds. What could possibly go wrong?
