This feels like your very abusive ex partner asking you for a reference. Starmer hates the left, smashes to pieces the broad church, but still expects our votes. I sense they are panicking. Vote Green, Independent, TUSC, SNP. Don't give these right wingers your vote. #Labour#ukpolitics
@KarenawokeKaren political parties that feel entitled to your vote are the ones that do the least to deserve it. The vote-splitting argument assumes entitlement. If they see people interested in alternate policies at a significant number then the strategy should be to adopt those policies or address those needs. Instead we just have pursed-lipped Starmer stans finger wagging at people to accept the stance that they deserve less after 14 years of everything being demolished. Not a winning plan.
Why does #Microsoft want to implement #Recall? It's not about images. It's about modelling what workers do on Windows, and then replacing them.
The most expensive part of a computer is the fallible feelings-filled unpredictable meat sack that operates it.
Google has YouTube, Google Photos, Maps, and a bucket load of search data, Google Analytics, advertising, as well as it's #GCP data (e.g. #STT transcriptions). And a bunch of data from Android services. From this data they can model speech, model videos and model advertising systems, and how humans respond to them.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Amazon has Prime data, and a bucket load of compute. But no operating system data. They can build models based around e-commerce and advertising systems.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Meta has waves hands enough analytics to model human behaviour in the Metaverse.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Microsoft has GitHub.
Microsoft has LinkedIn.
Microsoft has SharePoint.
Microsoft has Teams.
Microsoft has Dynamics.
Microsoft has O365.
Microsoft has Windows telemetry data.
Microsoft can model what people do on (Windows) computers. Like fill out spreadsheets.Write emails. Synthesize web pages of research. Interact with colleagues on Teams. Create and edit documents.
Microsoft wants #MicrosoftRecall data so they can model what people do with operating systems.
Then replace them.
Imagine a CoPilot that doesn't just write buggy code. Imagine one that also does spreadsheets. That creates documents on SharePoint. That communicates with colleages on Teams. That has a customer pipeline on Dynamics.
That's what Recall is about - 360 degree surveillance of the worker, to model their functions, make them fungible, replicable - and replaceable.
@KathyReid excellent points. I wouldn't count Google out on this market entirely as it has Chrome, Android and Workspace to mine but Microsoft has far more and an ability to get more on-device telemetry for sure.
"Recall records everything users do on their PC, including activities in apps, communications in live meetings, and websites visited for research. Despite encryption and local storage, the new feature raises privacy concerns for certain Windows users."
"I'm not listening to any more Dune takes from a guy who can't tell CHOAM from the Landsraad!" is a perfectly normal thing to yell while making brunch.
Screenshot of post by verena elisabeth @verenalettmayer: @aral and i guess you think you are an anti-fascist. sorry,: excluding and bullying a person because of their affiliation to israel is not anti-fascist, but ... You know what. and for 1000 times: no governments participate in the #esc, but independent broadcasters (that's why russia was also suspended, because NOT independent).
Everything about Durov's statement is so profoundly dishonest that I feel like engaging in a point-by-point debunking is a waste of time. If most of the messages on your platform are not end-to-end encrypted AT ALL, it is less private and secure than platforms whose messages are all e2e by default.
