It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

It's inescapable.

It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

It won't matter if you're a master expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."

@droidboy @helgztech @SomeGadgetGuy It's an almost literal Pandora's box.
Inside may be any/all of someone's most private info, & anything their contacts have ever shared.
MS may claim that the lock they built is so strong that no one can ever break it.
But anyone with the barest hint of security experience knows that's laughably naïve.
And no one's laughing.
And we can't opt out.

Why build the box?? Everyone hates it except surveillance capitalists.

my company uses secure channels to send highly confidential documents (which include, for example, clients’ financial information and unredacted social security numbers) to third-party attorneys. what if those attorneys have recall-enabled machines? i can tell you from experience that many of them are not tech-savvy enough to even realize they have it… what if they have a data breach?

so yeah, this is very scary, even if the company disables it on our local devices. https://ourislandgeorgia.net/@Wolven/112553748377817912

Favourable early safety data from a Ph IIB study of a male contraceptive gel! Fingers crossed this pans out — we really need contraceptive options that take the physical and administrative burden off women and other people who conceive.

Some of my friends that are convicted felons are 100% innocent of what they were accused and convicted of. Some of my friends that are convicted felons are guilty, and absolutely did what they were accused of. I don't make fun of people for being convicted felons, and I don't ostracize them. Instead, I don't let bad people around me. My definition of bad focuses on the choices that a person made in the past, and the choices that they make now. Some of the worst people, will never be felons.

A good rule of thumb to make, is to assume that pretty much every Black person that you know in the United States, knows at least one person that was unfairly convicted of a felony. And every Black man that you know, has had an incident where they were unfairly detained by police, and possibly arrested, and charged.

No, this doesn't make Black people relate to Trump. That's one of the most ignorant things that I hear people say.

But how you talk about felons? Black people hear that.

Wednesday game: I think they forgot the plan to lure in a Black Owl.

Instead they decided to see if they could find The Institute again. But went up during the day, when it never appears. They did find the entrance to the old sewers where they came out during their escape tho.

Best moment: they were approached by a gang of Agnites when headed past the Playground and got creeped out. A decided to play with them, as they asked. I let it fly. Quick thinking!

If you live in the UK or USA, you need to understand one thing about the coming election:

You need to vote defensively.

Neither of the main parties are appealing. But if you don't vote for the lesser evil you may end up helping a totalitarian horror get elected.

Hold your nose and goddamn vote, dammit. THEN go on protests. Because if you don't vote for the lesser evil, the victor will welcome your protests with bullets.

The prize for political purity this time round is a shallow grave.

Imagine the kind of change could you bring about in your life if the cost of your rent/mortgage and however much food you need to eat healthily were just... covered. With no questions asked.

Imagine if it worked that way for everyone, young and old, big and small. No "means-testing“ gatekeeping shenanigans. Like, we could just decide “we are willing to spend this on ourselves and each other so that none of us suffers needlessly.”

"In 1961, DuPont researchers found that the chemical could increase the size of the liver in rats and rabbits. A year later, they replicated these results in studies with dogs. PFOA’s peculiar chemical structure made it uncannily resistant to degradation."

Got GBDW Games sorted out. It's a lot better looking and more professional. Still plain (I don't have pro level funds right now), but it's more than serviceable and actually points people in the right directions for things! #TTRPG
