It's a pretty bold move to advertise the inclusion of a key logger in your OS.

[–] eronth@lemmy.world 68 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not just keylogger. It's a screenlogger too.

Youd already be using Linux Mint or Ubuntu if you cared about not being data mined.

One has to wonder if Recall just isn't as profitable as they had hoped.

This is a huge opportunity. All of us Linux geeks now need to be on mainstream social media platforms and actively seek out and help everyone who expresses an interest in switching from Windows to Linux.

Let me save you the trip. I have an old trash spec hp all in one that's had the bag beat out of it, what is the best lightweight Linux distro to make this a usable web browsing and PDF file viewer? (To be used in my garage to look at FSM, wiring diagrams, play music, Google crap etc nothing demanding). I've tried mint and it works ok but thinking lighter weight ?

[–] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 15 hours ago

Q4OS is another good potion

[–] Swakkel@sh.itjust.works 6 points 23 hours ago

Damn Small Linux is very lightweight and comes with browser and PDF viewer preloaded. It doesn't have a GUI software installer though, so you will have to use the terminal if you need to install stuff.

I installed MX Linux on an old tablet/ laptop with 2GB RAM AND 30GB storage. Works very well except for the webcam, but that's because the hardware is made so that only windows can use it correctly.

FSM

Finite-state machine?

Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Forgetting Sarah Marshall?

[–] kjetil@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

FSM in the context of a garage probably means Factory Service Manual, i.e. the service manual for a car or motorbike

Its female siamese midgets, how can you not know this?

Have to admit, the name "Recall" does have a better ring to it than "Take a Screenshot Every 3 Seconds".

[–] demunted@lemmy.ml 1 points 17 hours ago

Overseas devs have had the random screenshot to prove productivity happening for a while now. There's a hundred ways around it. Most common is a second computer next to you dev machine.

How long until Microsoft gets accused of stealing classified info?

[–] jve@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Last time they thought about rolling it out, security researchers immediately found ways to do clear text exfiltration of user data.

This should be terrifying for anybody who is at all concerned about opsec for anything at all.

I always “Recall” how shitty windows is, whenever I see the word mentioned.
