On a separate note, I just installed a Linux partition on my laptop to dual boot since I still need windows for AGI32 and Autodesk. Next weekend, I'll be shrinking my windows partition, move my files to a new partition and mount it in Linux so I can access files both ways.

Feels so good to have absolute control of my computer again.

I'm glad I got out when I could because Recall is such a dodgy 'feature'.

In 2005 Windows was like 95% of the desktop/laptop market. Today it's 70-75%. Since then mobile phones usurped a lot of functionality that used to require a desktop/laptop. Windows dependency is going to keep trending down both in just desktop/laptop or including mobile devices

every linux user: Oh no...well anyway

"But most significantly, Microsoft has made Recall a feature you must opt in to using rather than opt out of using, and it's possible to remove it completely."

Important bit

One has to wonder if Recall just isn't as profitable as they had hoped.

It's a pretty bold move to advertise the inclusion of a key logger in your OS.

This is a huge opportunity. All of us Linux geeks now need to be on mainstream social media platforms and actively seek out and help everyone who expresses an interest in switching from Windows to Linux.

Welp... Linux it is, then

I guess that means I have to break out the old GOATSE wall paper.

get linux if you haven't already

if you don't know how, ask, Lemmy is covered in Linux users

I always “Recall” how shitty windows is, whenever I see the word mentioned.

This comment is critical of Microsoft because the company name was mentioned in the article.

Would be interesting to see how microsoft kills windows in the long term and then be shocked as to how this happened

So reading more into it, it's (currently) only on the bogus copilot+ PCs they were peddling? I'm happily on bazzite, but this is good news for my stubborn mates that haven't touched copilot+ shit.

laughs in Linux

I opt-out.

Don‘t say no one was warned…

Roll it back in please.

If only CS2 ran better on linux 😔

Get recalled
