Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC

It’s not, but it’s also not spyware - it’s local, encrypted, AND optional.

Microsoft is known for making things “optional” at first then eventually forcing it down everyone’s throats. Removing offline accounts is one of them.

This also works: shift-F10 before you get to the network configuration, then type this and press enter start ms-cxh:localonly
For either method, if you configure networking during setup, e.g. plug in an ethernet cable or give it the wi-fi password, it’ll keep returning to the online account screen. You need to do it prior to network config.

Right. So you’re all panicking just in case.
That’s what’s being swept under the rug as “alarmists being loud”.

The same way you have a lock on your front door “just in case”. It’s not emotional. It’s logical.

Optional like how it reminds me every 3 days that it wants my info for “customization” purposes, and I can only sleep the notification for another 3 days instead of telling it to fuck off?
They have been so predatory, at this point no one should see anything they do as benefiting end users.

If it does that, outrage will be understandable.
Getting outraged about something they said will be 100% optional and hasn’t even released yet is just childish.

Actual optional things are disabled by default.

So you’re saying you haven’t bothered to read about Recall at all, you just assumed it’s going to be enabled by default?
Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Until a windows update kicks in and somehow turns it on for the world. thanks but no thanks. I’ll be disabling this not with a reg key but with local policy or DSC if I have to use a windows machine for personal again.
I switched to Linux 2 months ago.

Look at this bootlicker ignoring history and saying trust Microsoft.
