Honestly it largely is.

I mean, by definition, it isn't.

It's anonymous and not malicious in nature. It's a diagnostic and engagement measuring tool.

It's probably the best chromium browser out there

Firefox has done shit too

sadly we don't have a lot of choice, but they're one of the least worse

I used some stuff to block my location and windows recall BECAUSE FUCK YOU MICROSOFT!

You can’t block all of Windows spyware. The best case of action would be to install an alternative operating system like Linux or a BSD-derivative. It’s counter-intuitive to “fuck Microsoft” when you are still using their OS.

I did, just made a mistake. Thank you and have a pleasant afternoon.

The fact that the dev behind brave is a homophobe isn't opt in though...

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?

I don't care if I like them. I very much care if I'm making money for people who are actively trying to take away my rights

Look at this bootlicker ignoring history and saying trust Microsoft.

not malicious in nature

Haha, sure thing William

I believe they are talking about Windows, an OS that is spyware and no one should use

An example of Windows being spyware not standard telemetry is the Recall feature. A feature that doesn’t just tell you how the OS is used but actually takes screenshots every few seconds

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.

I don't trust them and they have given me sufficient reason over the course of decades not to.

"Look at this fossil thinking it's still 1990", I guess?

Mate, did you miss how 30 years have passed? How the world change? Can you even begin to imagine the fine the EU would slap without a second thought on MS if they tried pulling something like suddenly grabbing these screenshots from users' devices?

I will pass on being your mate. I don't like shills.

I am curious though, what do boots taste like?

Grow up, mate. And check the calendar.

If fascism was a passive philosophy that didn't hurt anyone then you might have a point. But as you can see recently it's extremely dangerous and ruins lives.

You may not want to mingle with politics, but it doesn't have the same view.

Windows, an OS that is spyware and no one should use

Of, ffs, grow up.

You have no clue what you're talking about, do you?

Recall only works on devices with an NPU. Do you know why? Because it runs locally. It's got NOTHING to do with telemetry, because it does NOT send data to Microsoft.
