Concerned about Microsoft Windows 11 Recall? You should be.

Recall allows Microsoft’s Windows 11 Copilot+ devices to screenshot every action a person takes on their PC.

What can you do? Switching to Linux is the clear answer, but some don't know what distro to try.

DistroSea.com is a website that lets you run and test 60+ Linux distributions straight from your web browser.

Have fun!

Isn't that exactly what recall was intended for? So someone would never lose a detail? I don't know what your desktop looks like, but if it's anything like mine being able to use a vocal search to find some half remembered reference or what I did with the document or program or webpage or downloaded picture is pretty fucking useful, especially as I grow older.

“an easy way to access information about your PC's activity snapshots...” is how this is branded.

However, it will be used to capture screenshots of emails or messages you may have deleted, as well as messages that disappear on platforms like Signal. Banking information, passwords, and medical records put on the screen will be recorded.

The feature that stores data in a database is done in plain text, attackers can use malware to extract the database and its contents.

@TimWardCam Um. Compile time checks with gradual typing? Is that what you're getting at? This feels like a holy way and I probably shouldn't, but... That's a pretty common & productive stance. Just the same as Typescript. Or Clojure! Even C# is doing it these days. Am I missing the point?

@tartley Yeah, it's holy war stuff. I personally prefer compile time strong typing.

(Within limits that is. Not as strong as Algol68C, which was so pedantic that it was almost impossible to write code that compiled. But that did have the advantage that if you ever managed to wrestle your code through the compiler it probably didn't have any bugs left in it.)

@TimWardCam I see, thanks for helping me understand. I spent fifteen years "progressing" through C, C++ and C#, so I think I know what you mean about the warm glow of a perfectly typed program (do I?), but nowadays I look back on those with dread, compared to sprinkling some judicious types on the external API of a Python program. I'm a big TDD fan, which probably puts a thumb on the scales - I'm relying on that for some of the things types would do for me.

Review: The Word for World is Forest

The Word for World is Forest is a science-fiction novel by Ursula Le Guin, although the science-fiction elements are very much just window-dressing. This story is very much an analogue for the US’ involvement in the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, the story has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Right from the first chapter, Le Guin makes her opposition to the war evident.

And here’s why I think the nurses in the video were just morons. There is anti-semitism out there but the people trying to make a name for themselves “finding” it are utter cunts.

Question - from a new user

Ello folks! I've recently joined the Friendica universe, and I'm still figuring out how it all works.

I've followed my other Fedi accounts with this one, so that I can boost things on here

But... Not all the posts/toots are visible. When I check the updates of my friends, where my own profiles are in, it shows some of my other posts. When I load the profile time-line of the account, it shows some of the posts.

Any reason why it doesn't show all the latest ones? Is it a setting that I need to change?

Thanks in advance for your help! 🌹

I think I just onboarded someone to the fediverse. I didn’t say “decentralized” or “open source” or “server” or even mention email lol I just said “It’s like you can follow anyone from any social network and there’s no ads”

You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?

If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy".

You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.

2008 Video - Perth Protest Against Internet Censorship

Since the Mastodon post never federated I'm repostng here:

I'm in the process of transferring many of my videos from YouTube to my newest Peertube channel. One of the videos I found was from 2008, about a protest against the Internet Filter the Rudd govt were hoping to implement. It features former Greens senator Scott Ludlam.

My phone's not very good for nature shots. Its zoom is very limited, but I managed to get a shot of this guy as he tried to cross the nearby path. Unfortunately, he was spooked by the horde of joggers and turned back.
