@kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social I love KDE Plasma and personally it often feels better than Windows user-experience-wise, contrary to what one might expect due to its nonprofit, community-led status. Not to mention the customisability/freedom/privacy benefits...
However, I do need to point out here that Windows Recall is (currently) opt-in only so this story would be inaccurate unless the ex installed it on the speaker's computer.

a) It is a story.
b) It portrays what Microsoft originally intended: to ship Recall switched on by default and the option to switch it off hidden deep in the settings. They only backed down when it blew up in their faces.
c) If you believe they will not try again, I have a nice bridge on sale you may be interested in.
@Bro666 @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social Of course - thanks for the quick response. For better or for worse, I always take everything literally and physically can't seem to do otherwise!
Long live FOSS and welcoming, creative FOSS-dev communities!
@kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social Additionally, to all: if you have the means, please contribute to FOSS software you use, financially, or through bugfixing, promotion, or/and development! I do this whenever possible and it's the only way these amazing programs have been produced, and how KDE has existed since 1996!
@WebCoder49 My personal interpretation was that this was a year or two after the proper launch of Recall. Especially since it says:
> It's been doing this for over a year and I had no idea.
(Recall hasn't even been a thing we've known about for a year yet, so this is definitely taking place in the future.)
Microsoft is known for making opt in settings opt out, and silently opting you into telemetry some time after introducing it, but your criticism is definitely still valid since we technically don't know that Recall will eventually become opt out.
Though, in my personal opinion... it definitely will
