Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 users will not be able to uninstall the controversial “Recall” feature, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise. Recall, part of the Copilot+ suite announced in May, automatically captures screenshots of user activity on the operating system including sensitive information such as passwords or financial data https://digitalmarketreports.com/news/25091/microsoft-recall-feature-on-windows-11-not-removable-after-all/ Do yourself a favor and get rid of Windows from your life—enough of these greedy companies. #privacy #security

@[email protected] I would if I wasn't gamer. All my other systems run Ubuntu, but for games, especially older ones or online with anticheat, Windows is still required because I don't have time or nerves to fuck around to make games just work. Which is unfortunate because I like Ubuntu's GNOME so much more than stupid Windows 11 today.

@[email protected] @[email protected] I only run Linux, most games work fine under wine or via steam Proton. If you can't play a game under Linux due to some stupid anti cheat then don't promote and play the game.

@[email protected] @[email protected] It's not that simple and anti cheat is there so the game is fair as people are scumbags and cheat. You can't blame games for that.

@[email protected] @[email protected] ow we definitely can blame games for that. Since there was recently even drama about a game that used to work under Linux, and they didn't test Linux when "improving" the anti-cheat. Every single anti cheat system could work fine under Linux or wine/Proton, if the developers also test under Linux.
