Since Microsoft seems to not care about the impact that the + feature has, I am going back to as my daily driver. All my servers run on Debian or its derivatives, work servers run RedHat or Windows, but I have not used a Desktop Linux for quite a while as a daily driver. I've been playing with Debian 12 with Gnome for the past few days, and next I'll be playing with Fedora, which I have not used since the early 2000's. We'll see how fast I can catch up.

It seems is making important changes to that should improve its :

  1. Opt-in instead of opt-out.
  2. Windows Hello must be used to use Recall.
  3. Screenshots and database are encrypted and need Windows Hello authentication in order to open.

I'm still switching to as my primary OS and keep as a VM for some work applications, but it's good to see that MS is trying to make this controversial feature a bit more secure.

Landfill - an older, perfectly cromulent and useable computer, coming to a landfill near you, now!

We expect deliveries to increase to October 2025 and beyond. The future is bright, except in waterways and atmospheres.

Wow, the fact it took everyone making a stink about Recall for them to do the right thing is telling! Microsoft should've known better than to be stupidly bold and feel self-assured about an invasive feature being on by default.

Still won't go back to Windows, as they might be sneaky as fuck about something else which compromises my system's security.

I'm happy on Ubuntu, so Microsoft can kick rocks for all I care. ROFL

The "#WindowsRecall feature will be disabled by default" headfake move is pretty meaningless when we know #Microsoft is going to constantly nag all their users to turn on that "feature" for an "enhanced" user experience and AI-powered productivity superpowers n' stuff, it's just one click away!
