YES, Microsoft is going to take a screenshot of everything you do on your computer.

Accept that the only way to ensure your privacy, safety, and security is to try, Linux.

Microsoft is going to Microsoft. They are like an abusive partner, who sees no reason to listen, because they assume you will never leave. You can prove them wrong, or accept their abuse. - The choice is yours.

Snapshots won't be saved when some remote desktop connection clients are used. The following remote desktop connection clients are filtered from snapshots:
• Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe)
• VMConnect.exe
• Microsoft Remote Desktop from the Microsoft Store is saved in snapshots. To prevent the app from being saved in snapshots, add it to the app filtering list.
• Azure Virtual Desktop (MSI)

How do you feel about Windows #Recall when you realise how many computers and devices run Windows?

Your personal data captured when viewed on medical devices and PCs by Banks, Doctors, Hospitals, lawyers, Insurers, your Govt Representatives...

Everywhere, screens captured every few seconds and stored, and we all know the reason: to train AI and send your data back to anyone who will pay for it because #AI models reveal the data they are trained on.

😱

Fun fact: I've talked to my mother, who is currently still on #Windows10, about #Windows11 and #WindowsRecall and she was like "nah, I don't want that". Then I said "well basically everything you're doing is in the browser anyway, I could set up your machine with #Linux …"

and she was like

"yeah, why not?"

Folks, #Recall is making my mom, a non-techie who is a year from retirement, migrate to Linux!

This is awesome.

@cdp1337 I think #Windows users and espechally #WindowsServer #Sysadmins are way too tolerant if nit accepting of BS.

If #RedHat / #RHEL, @opensuse , @ubuntu or @libreoffice ever pulled 1% of the shitshow that is #Microsoft365 / #Office365 / #MicrosoftOffice / #Copilot, they'd be sued by their customers and have users with Pitchforks at their front gates...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@cdp1337@social.veraciousnetwork.com personally, I've wasted 15 years of my life trying to make #Windows useable and the main regret I have is not switching to #Linux 100% 5 years earlier... - I can't do Windows *at all* because no amount of *"pain money"* will compensate for the damage it'll take to my mental health. I'd rather not do #IT at all than suffer through Windows. - And yes, shit's that slow and hard, I've seen companies buying ~ €200k (MSRP which obviously noone pays) in low-core count EPYC servers just to have #MSSQL be somewhat reasonably fast. Not to mention #Microsoft's #Licensing is just absurd as they demand that businesses license their garbage not for the Cores/Threads they'll assign to the Software, but for every single core the #Proxmox or #ESXi cluster has, even if it's impossible for said Software to run on those at the same time because *"#WindowsServer"* doesn't even support multi-node clustering or fault-tolerance at all. - I could at least reason this as a price to pay for it if it actually bought *something* to the table worth it... But it just doesn't! And yes, Windows [does require reboot orgies]( https://social.veraciousnetwork.com/@cdp1337/112782342409591511 ) to update... - Why else do you think it's less pain and frustration to use #nLite and #iPXE to build unattended install images and just reinstall all Windows #Desktops everytime a #ServicePack gets released? It's way faster that way. - Also Microsoft's own tool for that, #WAIK, really sucks ass and is a bigger resource hog than a *"Full Installation"* of #VisualStudio Enterprise Edition! Again: I'd rather [spin my own distro from scratch]( https://os1337.com ) and daily drive it than ever touching Windows again!!!

If you enable Windows Recall on your device, please do not sync any contact info you have for me, or exchange any kind of digital comms with me, using that computer.

Any conversation we have using your Windows machine can and will be captured without my consent.

You cannot consent on my behalf - so if you're going to use Windows Recall, please don't contact me using your Windows device.

Ever.

Important Warning About Windows Recall ⚠️:

If you communicate with someone
who might be using the upcoming Microsoft's Windows Recall feature, be extremely careful about what information you share with them.

Regardless of what secure application you use, be especially careful about sending:

- Intimate photos

- Passwords or other sensitive information

- Medical conditions

- Personal details, even through secure emails or secure encrypted chats

- Financial information

- Video chats, even encrypted ones

This feature will unfortunately extract your information from whatever secure software you might have used and store it on this person's computer in a possibly less secure way.

Of course this person could manually take a screenshot of all of this anyway, but this feature makes it that even a well-intentioned person might either not be aware it is on, or might wrongly assume it is secure enough.

This feature isn't fully released yet, but it might be soon. More information:

@fennix @renard @Em0nM4stodon Don't even get me started on #GDPR & #BDSG...

Sadly, @bsi has yet to ban #Windows10 despite it being unable to be setup to comply at all...

#Windows11 is already worse than that and I feel it's high time shit like that gets criminalized...

After all, if IT professionals can't offer their services to their own GP due to "dataprotection concerns" then literal #Spyware (#Recall) within a #Govware-OS makes that a complete non-starter...
