   Classic Windows apps like Paint and Notepad are also getting LLM (Generative AI) support. There is no reason whatsoever that Notepad should do more than text editing. Microsoft has gone crazy with these tools. Of course, as part of these tools, your text in Notepad is sent to Microsoft under the name of Generative AI, which then sells it to the highest bidder. https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2024/11/06/new-ai-experiences-for-paint-and-notepad-begin-rolling-out-to-windows-insiders/ Stick with FLOSS tools and OS and avoid this madness. Keep your data safe.

     @nixCraft It seems Microsoft seeks reasons to have all data sent to their servers. I even read that outlook nowadays uses Microsoft mailservers as intermediate server, if you fetch mail from your own mailservers (https://mastodon.social/@nielsk/112693661708469575). Evil practices…

     Outlook 365 doesn't use imap by default anymore. It uses exchange.
