is a and general privacy nightmare.

Every 10 seconds it takes a screenshot. 3 months' worth is 25GB of images...

It also doesn't blur what you type, like passwords, bank account numbers, etc. when it screenshots

I can see businesses wanting to force this on their employees, esp remote workers

Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

Der riesige Unterschiede zwischen und ist auch:
Wenn irgendeine Distribution auf die gleiche, völlig bescheuerte Idee käme, wie alles zwingend an online-Accounts und AI-Krampf und sogar automatisierte Screenshots zu tackern, könnte man einfach die Distribution wechseln oder auf einen Fork warten, der vermutlich innerhalb kürzester Zeit entstehen würde und den Murks nicht an Bord hätte. Auditierbar.

Bei Microsoft ist man auf Gedeih und Verderb dem Konzern ausgeliefert.

With more people joining after recent news, it may be good to focus on some core commands 🎓

Before you think 'uptime' on the question below, the article got a few alternatives included.

When did a system start? Learn how to query the boot time (uptime) of a system using commands like uptime and ps: https://linux-audit.com/system-administration/faq/how-to-see-when-system-was-started/

Got other options or useful commands that can be added? 🏗️

Weil sich offensichtlich einige ueber von aufregen. Fair enough!

Laeuft lokal (deshalb ja auch die geforderte NPU, die die OEMs einbauen muessen) und soll(!) nicht von Microsoft abgerufen werden.

Genau in dem Moment muss sich jeder ueberlegen ob er das nutzt oder nicht. Ich kann mir durchaus Anwendungsszenarien vorstellen.

Wuerde ich es nutzen? Nein!
Sollte Microsoft hier auf Opt-In switchen? Ja!

Das sind nicht nur optisch grossartige Laptops, sondern auch effizienz-/performancetechnisch Wettbewerber fuer die MacBooks und genau deshalb habe ich neben Podcast und Newsletter auch mal wieder ein Video gebastelt.

Gerne teilen! Danke euch 🙏

Amidst all the AI craze, the continuous efforts by corporations (see ’s latest fuckery) to get their hands on personal data is so exhausting. There is no valid reason behind this, their “innovations” are not designed to improve their product. Instead they actively endanger people’s lives. And if I, a relatively non-tech savvy person, recognises this, I can only imagine what my knowledgeable tech peeps must be feeling.

Heaven for domestic abuse: a new spywaretool just up for grabs. It's like having Pegasus at home. What could possibly go wrong? Microsoft knows most families share their accounts or at least can easily log into eachothers accounts. They just choose to ignore it.

@helma @SuperMoosie Things being "illegal" is not going to hold them back, since GDPR enforcement is weak and slow. It's a typical action, hoping to have it normalized before Authorities kick in. Then the data exploitation features that make money for Micro$oft will be launched.

I have been hearing about this type of service being in the works for years. The “productivity pundits” have been discussing it quite a bit on their podcasts, so yeah... someone was thinking to basically record everything into a massive “browser history” equivalent for your life.

They also mentioned wearing body cams to take photos with a similar frequency, so maybe that Humane AI pin will get a second life as your personal surveillance cam :)

Git and GitHub are key tools for sharing your work reproducibility and the greater good 🌱 However they are often seen as too 'hardcore' or developer-focussed to be used by researchers and data analysts. That's a misconception! Great vid to get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dd7KRpKeaE
