However, Recall won't actively hide sensitive information like passwords and financial account numbers that appear on-screen.
Marketed to be "on your device only". |
It used to be a meme to ask someone to delete your browser history when you die. Now you gotta ask them to dep fry the whole computer> To use Recall, users will need to purchase one of the new "Copilot Plus PCs" powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite chips
Got it, so avoid these PCs. Only a matter of time before this comes baked into more chips though. Gross.
@dalekcoffee It's complete insanity. I don't know what they're thinking turning people's PCs into spyware. Not even asking for consent, just: Congrats, we made the choice for you!
Anyone with this crap on a compromised PC will now not only lose their passwords but their whole life and identity. A scammers wet dream.
I'm doing another one of my little surveys, this time to see which parts of using #Linux on the desktop are the most problematic, and the various issues people are having.
I'll make a video on these results next week, and depending on the answers, maybe I'll make more videos on specific issues, either to explain these topics, or to see how we could improve.
So, here is the form, feel free to fill it out and share it around, so we have as many answers as possible!
@thelinuxEXP I think this is a great initiative! Figuring out what is offputting to new users and providing tools to make it a little bit easier.
I've been learning and getting familiar with #Linux and #KDE plasma recently. It's generally considered to be one of the most familiar desktops for moving Windows users.
What I had most problems with is installing and configuring software that isn't in any default package manager so having guides/wizards helpers built in would be my suggestion. ๐

Having a specific feature for suggesting alt text on the fediverse would be helpful while avoiding the new users experiencing alt text nag negatively.
I.e. "This user suggests the following alt text for your image: Text. Accept, deny."
Clicking accept automatically edits your post and inserts what they wrote. If it already has an alt text you never get any notification.
Do any of you do video editing ... perhaps for a podcast or maybe personal home videos? If so, what is the best, most easily used video editing software out there?
I don't need all the bells & whistles, but will need features like splicing video segments (from diff't sources) together, some nice (not over the top) transitions, ease of use, & good quality end results.
@carolynporco Yes, you can drag and drop a clip into the timeline, split it in the middle, separate the two parts and drag in another clip in the middle.
If you drag the beginning of one clip over the end of the other clip, it will create a transition.
To show one clip on top of another, create a new track, and drag that clip on that track.
I found it confusing. For one thing, it asks me for my Mastodon account. Though Akkoma uses Mastodonโs API, not all sites recognize this nor support itโI donโt know if BridgyFed would reject.
Secondly, itโs not clear how to opt in. I think I opted in but there was nothing to say โCongrats! People from #Bluesky can see you!โ
Also, how do I receive #Bluesky posts? Thatโs not apparent to me.
It's running pretty slow from testing and took several hours before my first posts showed up so following and then unfollowing without waiting probably won't work.
