This is hella important. Don’t use a PC with Copilot hardware IMHO. Don’t even borrow a friend’s PC with such hardware to check email, for that matter. If they have Recall enabled, they can scroll back and read all your emails. If you get hacked on a system running Recall, months of everything you’ve ever done on the PC could be ex-filtrated in minutes for the criminals to review at their leisure.

@photomatt My immediate concern is… do they stay only in the mouths of those that opt for it? Or is it a thing where kissing someone can pass it on to them accidentally? Or sharing a utensil or a drink?

@darnell The most Karen of Karen moments.

@thomasfuchs It’s where the jack where he learns kung fu comes in.

@HistoPol @Gargron If you want to reclaim privacy, just enable E2E on your iPhone? I don’t see how E2E is gonna be that much different regardless of platform.

@Gargron At first I thought she vaped. 😹

@cstross “Every technology comes with an implied political agenda.”

That’s awesome that they quote Karl Schroeder. He’s one of my favorites and Stealing Worlds is a book everyone should read!

@Gargron Late as usual, but Mastodon has been an amazing safe haven for all the Twitter refugees, and hopefully you can take some small comfort in that.

I think what you have done is enough for now if you need time to rest and regroup. It is stable and very, very usable.

@thomasfuchs @thomasfuchs Just remember to continue to test post-Pax. A lot of people seem to go back to being infectious after they reach the end their Paxlovid prescription.

@mcnees @thomasfuchs He was definitely briefly active and then went… elsewhere?
