@molly0xfff Somehow I feel this is pushed by the surveillance desires of governments. Can only hope I could be wrong here.

@molly0xfff The one thing Microsoft has taught us by their own actions is to not trust them and that when they have a chance they will violate your freedom/privacy/security.

@molly0xfff Back when I did windows work - I actually used to use something like this (over a decade ago) for the purpose of accounting. I had crazy amount of projects and cost centres to bill against simultaneously. I had a life saver of a time recording app slimtimer.com (site is borked nvm) I used to combine with, I can't remember the app that did it, used to take lots of screenshots.

But yeh like anything will be abused.

So my next computer (been using Mac anyway) will be a Linux box. Fuck enclosed platforms.

@molly0xfff Which spyware kept all of its data locally and never sent it to anybody?

    @GossiTheDog @Ericlaw @molly0xfff And the risks of threat actors is especially high since we're talking about whether to trust Microsoft's word on this being only locally stored. I don't trust Microsoft on this.

    @seanking @GossiTheDog @molly0xfff @Ericlaw Plus then this not being exploited in the wild, because it sounds like a pretty interesting target.
