Windows Recall remains controversial a year after its announcement. Now, the Brave browser has taken new measures to "protect" users from the feature.

      Actually, Linux doesn’t block windows, it just isn’t windows.

      Just reason saying.

          Heck, wipe the entire disk!

          (based on a real life experience)

          (windows just kept standing no matter what partition i deleted so i wiped the disk clean)

            I only use Linux and I want Windows to just stay out of my way or it’ll pay, listen to what I say.

      Keep In mind that you can still be captured by this feature indirectly, Discord for example certainly doesn’t intend to do anything to hide your messages, they recently went public so in their eyes more tracking the better.

      I’m thankful to have made a feature request to Element/Matrix asking for them to prevent this exact thing.

        Discord… Still isn’t public?

        They’re certainly talking about it but they haven’t announced a date yet.

        Having said that, element and matrix are both more privacy respecting so I do agree with the recommendation in general.

          Apologies, I striked the lines out of my previous comment. It simply was an example of how you still can be captured.

      Tbf, anything that isn’t AI Windows blocks the feature. Including regular Windows.

      People just need to not fall for the scam edition and they don’t have to deal with this shit.
