Linux nerds kind of lost the public relations war, the long-time antagonism towards “normie” users has created a lingering notion that linux is a pain in the ass and unaccomodating, even as some devs have tried to make it more inviting. It’s a difficult hump to overcome I think.
It’s not some slippery slope to prohibit people generating sexual imagary of real people without their consent. The fuck is wrong with AI supporters?
Even if you’re a “horny teenager” making fake porn of someone is fucking weird and not normal or healthy.
Depending on the AI developers to stop this on their own is a mistake. As is preemptively accepting child porn and deepfakes as inevitable rather than attempting to stop or mitigate it.
At first glance, the Recall feature seems like it may set the stage for potential gross violations of user privacy. Despite reassurances from Microsoft, that impression persists for second and third glances as well. For example, someone with access to your Windows account could potentially use Recall to see everything you’ve been doing recently on your PC, which might extend beyond the embarrassing implications of pornography viewing and actually threaten the lives of journalists or perceived enemies of the state.
Despite the privacy concerns, Microsoft says that the Recall index remains local and private on-device, encrypted in a way that is linked to a particular user’s account. “Recall screenshots are only linked to a specific user profile and Recall does not share them with other users, make them available for Microsoft to view, or use them for targeting advertisements. Screenshots are only available to the person whose profile was used to sign in to the device,” Microsoft says.
This sounds very much like on of those claims that has an invisible “for now” attached to it. It’s always going to be a slow roll out with these kinds of things.

Just look for the super racist and misogynist AI I’d imagine.
I’m not saying it’s still strictly the case, just that the effects of that attitude linger on in the public consciousness (even a decade later).
