So why is Microsoft insisting on pushing out a feature it is very clear users just do not want? What is the point of it? It just does not make any sense. Recall makes no sense. It is one of rather many functions that Microsoft wants to force people into using.
Personally I also do not want Copilot on my computer and the idea that there can be a key on my keyboard that I can press that will enable by mistake it is not what I would think most people want.
I believe that there should be a very clear line between what is on your computer and what is in the cloud. Forcing people to log into a Microsoft online account to use their computer is crazy. Having people mistakenly enabling OneDrive is another disaster.
I guess this is all a great opportunity for Linux.

@bsi Ich empfehle ein Update auf #linux durchzuführen. (Gott verdammte Scheiß) Dass sich das #bsi noch dazu erdreistet, Windows 11 zu empfehlen, wo Windows 10 doch schon ne Katastrophe in Sachen #datenschutz war/ist.
Ist euch die aktuelle #spyware noch nicht genug? Steckt ihr mit #microschrott unter einer Decke? Hält man euch gefangen und zwingt euch so ne Scheiße zu hier posten? Falls letzteres, gebt mir ein Zeichen, ich hole euch raus.

In case you forgot about Microsoft Recall, it looks like it will reappear in your Copilot+ computer soon running Windows 11.
