Don’t worry, they’ll kill the project after naming it Chrome Recall, Google Recall, Google Watcher, GWatch (with chat), Chat&Watch, Google Watch (new) in the span of a year.
They will have 7 identical services but 6 will not support feature X
Nah, they’ll kill it after a year due to hard drive costs. Enough screenshots at a resolution high enough to know wtf you’re looking at and still have vaguely usable data would be absurd.
I could see it rebranded for enterprise usage for businesses and schools though, at an extra cost.

Windows: does something privacy invading bad
Google: why didn’t I think of that? Hold my beer
At this point Microsoft is much worse. At least Google stuff is usable
I use my personal Nextcloud since I left all of Google a few years ago.

Briefly. I applaud your de-Googling. More of us need to do that…

I didn’t think Linux was going to the the big thing but right now it is “winning” in the sense that it sucks the least.
I’m going to continue buying Chromebooks because I can wipe the OS and put Linux on them.
GrapheneOS logic lol
yep, easily the best netbooks are chromebooks without chrome.
i wish we’d see another pixelbook tho. my battery poofed and nothing on the market comes close.
ChromeOS is Linux.
The fact Linux folk prefer to count their market share at 2% rather than be associated with Chrome OS should tell you how far it went off track.
It is Linux but it really isn’t Linux. It violates pretty much every philosophy of Linux
Why the project have an Elon Musk xitter in the readme?
I still don’t understand who the fuck asked for such a feature.
It was the advertisers and government.
The feds.
It’s for your safety. Nothing will be collected without your consent. Obedience is freedom. Marry and reproduce.
People were encrypting too many things. Gotta give something to the hard working feds
It was trendy
I got as far as the second paragraph, which consists of the following quote from a Google VP:
“I’m not going to talk about Recall, but I think the reason that some people feel it’s creepy is when it doesn’t feel useful, and it doesn’t feel like something they initiated or that they get a clear benefit from it”
That’s somehow worse than I imagined. I can at least understand being intentionally sinister, or overtly anti-privacy, but that level of delusion is somehow actually more terrifying.
This is the company that couldn’t understand why Google Glass failed so hard.
I can imagine those guys arguing about “legitimate interests” because data that isn’t monetised is worthless or something.
I know we’re all thinking it, but people paying attention feel that way because… it’s creepy, it’s not useful, it’s not something they initiated, and they don’t get a clear benefit from it.
but I think the reason that some people feel it’s creepy is when it doesn’t feel useful, and it doesn’t feel like something they initiated or that they get a clear benefit from it”
Well, why do it then?
lol but MS just recalled Recall
No they just turned if off by default. They can change that will an update
I know but that isn’t a snappy one-liner
Yes it is
They can change your settings anytime.
Can you like, not?
Both users are angry.
