For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

@GossiTheDog Can you make the snapshot directory nonwritable, or a link to the Windows equivalent of /dev/null?

Installed #Ubuntu 12.04 on this ThinkPad a while back, then upgraded it to 14.04. I wonder if it can go all the way through 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 and successfully end up on 24.04...

A screenshot of Ubuntu 14.04 desktop with a terminal running neofetch, a telegram window with the Linux Matters channel showing, and an update manager dialog telling me I should upgrade..

@popey I've been updating with the same home directory since 14.04, but Nautilus has gotten really slow since 23.10, so I will probably have to reorganize. Still planning to do 24.04 next weekend, and see if performance changes.

I was today years old when I learned

chown rachel: foo

was equivalent to

chown rachel:rachel foo

All those years of keystrokes wasted!


(Thanks to Wyatt for noting that period can be dangerous. Stick to the empty colon.)

Who the fsck is David McBrayer? While looking for a second source to back up a story about Jay-Z pushing school vouchers with right-wing billionaire Jeffrey Yass, I found the original story, posted Friday by Jessica Corbett at CommonDreams.org, was reposted verbatim today at @RawStory by this McBrayer guy.

Corbett posted her story under a #CreativeCommons license, but it was CC-BY-SA, meaning her credit should not have been stripped.

Went into a #Target to see what #Pride merch they were offering. I didn't see the display right in the front of the store, so I was concerned, but the good news is was it was in the very center of the store right next to all the #Phillies gear.

I'm not feeling incharitable, so I will charitably describe the collection as paltry and disappointing. Less than 20% of what they put on their website is there, and it was mostly shirts with faded rainbows.

#Kohls did a much better job.

How many n-words are in your movie script?

0: Perfect for any project. No notes.

1: Someone's getting punched in the face by Richard Pryor or bankrupted by Eddie Murphy.

2-10: Your historical drama doesn't need these. Really. We know what Bull Connor did, so just show that and don't make it torture porn.

11-20: Your movie about Los Angeles rap beefs doesn't need these either.

More than 20: One of these days, Sam Jackson will stop saving your ass, Quentin.
