@_elena in that age he probably has zero fucks left. And I can imagine it's a helpful feature to elderly people to not have to remember everything.
You could try to argue with what every one else is using to undermine privacy: child protection. Images for his grandchildren being captured, private conversation, etc. Not really being able to understand what happens with the data as it's closed source.
But it's a tough job to educate grownups.

@_elena Copilot is still beta and in testing so things can change. Differences come with GDPR its user rights (transparency, consent, the purpose limitation). Latest update introduces encryption for all data collected and several options to prevent copilot from gathering data.
But of course there is a smell of backdoors in the air and the wonderful opportunity to revisit your past activities without real-time access for all villains out there. MS did not good this year in terms of privacy.

@_elena is there any topic they're passionate about? One you can make it bluff and make up BS in front of them?
That usually does the trick with conventional media

@_elena Let him stay on Windows and use O&O ShutUp10++ https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 to protect his privacy that way.

@_elena I suggest rather than getting him to swap from something he has likely used most of his working life, you look to ensure his setup is as secure as it can be.
He is probably happy with his setup and there is probably no *direct* equivalent, without having to change how he does things.
I’m not quite in his age bracket and I find using a Mac a challenge.

@_elena isn't copilot only for coding?

@_elena ah, mixed up copilot with recall. my bad! 🤦

@_elena I'm sorry, I realise I completely misread your original toot, I thought ChatGPT was the main problem. And now I'm curious as to what the problem is with Proton!

@_elena No installation required, just run it as administrator. Some changes require a reboot and some settings "reappear" after the reboot. Just run it again. I go with recommended and limited recommended settings as a starting point before allowing stuff back on like microphone access as needed. Also after going to 24H2 my Windows installation "forgot" a couple of settings. It keeps a record of what the settings are supposed to be and asks if you want them rolled back to the previous value.

@_elena@mastodon.social The whole Recall business finally made me get off my arse and switch to Linux.
