Running Linux would block this feature too.
Just reason sayin.

Keep In mind that you can still be captured by this feature indirectly, Discord for example certainly doesn’t intend to do anything to hide your messages, they recently went public so in their eyes more tracking the better.
I’m thankful to have made a feature request to Element/Matrix asking for this exact thing.
Discord… Still isn’t public?
They’re certainly talking about it but they haven’t announced a date yet.
Having said that, element and matrix are both more privacy respecting so I do agree with the recommendation in general.

Apologies, I strike the lines out of my previous comment. It simply was an example of how you still can be captured.
Switching to Linux made me like computers again. Switching to Hyprland made me love computers again.
Hyprland made me suicidal again but we are all different
Same story here! Im in love with computing all over again because of it. Too bad many are tricked into thinking Microsoft ia the only option.
Switching to TempleOS made me hear the voices again.
They got pills for that. Just sayin’
Switching to Hannah Montana Linux made me hear The Best of Both Worlds again.
I want to use Corey in the House Linux
Actually, Linux doesn’t block windows, it just isn’t windows.
Just reason saying.
Actually it does! When youre installing, just delete the windows boot partition and your done!
I recently decided to switch from using Atomic Fedora to reg KDE Fedora (cause tinkering and bypassing atomic features got on my nerves), and I almost went through with wiping everything and only having Linux installed. And then I realized I probably wouldn’t be able to do some tests for college cause they use anti-cheating software (lockdown browser) which they probably wouldn’t like if I ran it in a VM or wine…
But man, once I’m out of college, I’m probably wiping Windows for good! Also gonna factory reset that partition so it at least takes way less space on my drive.
(Side note: the other hesitation is that I’m 90% kernel updates nuked Bluetooth for me around March (It worked when I rolled back to January/February releases) and I do have zoom classes sometimes. Like, do I just have to buy a Bluetooth dongle to deal with this?)
Heck, wipe the entire disk!
(*based on a real life experience)
(windows just kept standing no matter what partition i deleted so i wiped the disk clean)
Delete only the boot partition? Doug kick him off the tour!
I only use Linux and I want Windows to just stay out of my way or it’ll pay, listen to what I say.
You gotta have your old files! But man does NTFS suck ass
There’s one in every thread.
One?
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Thats 92% of lemmy users

Tbf, anything that isn't AI Windows blocks the feature. Including regular Windows.
People just need to not fall for the scam edition and they don't have to deal with this shit.
