@lazysupper @Tutanota I use Vivaldi as my primary browser (with Startpage extension) and DuckDuckGo to use the player and other things. I wonder why Vivaldi is not on the list. It is very friendly for the ones as me who are starting to degoogling our lives...

@gcluley hi Graham . I did not like the deep integration of Pocket with Firefox after Pocket was bought over. For the past few weeks I have been using Instapaper and I really like it , both on Android and iOS , and web .

You just know you're doing something right when #Meta 's data protection officer talks about your ‘power’ and how she wants the #EU to ban you from doing your work.🤡

@Tutanota none please . Thank you

So why is Microsoft insisting on pushing out a feature it is very clear users just do not want? What is the point of it? It just does not make any sense. Recall makes no sense. It is one of rather many functions that Microsoft wants to force people into using.

Personally I also do not want Copilot on my computer and the idea that there can be a key on my keyboard that I can press that will enable by mistake it is not what I would think most people want.

I believe that there should be a very clear line between what is on your computer and what is in the cloud. Forcing people to log into a Microsoft online account to use their computer is crazy. Having people mistakenly enabling OneDrive is another disaster.

I guess this is all a great opportunity for Linux.

Copilot Recall: Microsoft rolls out AI screenshot tool

Recall had been dubbed a "privacy nightmare" but has made changes since its original launch was pulled.

The lastest release of Privacy Guides is now live!

One of the biggest changes are the following:

* We added SecureBlue, a hardened linux distribution based on Fedora Silverblue.

* The removal of Canary mail, as we do not like their latest shift towards AI inclusion into their application.

* And last but least, we now recommend social networks with our first recommendation being #Mastodon !

Thank you to all contributers!
