Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there’s a good argument the author’s concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

It’s funny how they’re saying “You need to use Linux” and not “You need to get off Facebook”. How’s Linux going to save you from Facebook spying on you?
They mentioned Microsoft updating privacy agreements at the same time as other companies, and OP mentioned that the context was a discussion of a Windows ultra-keylogger type of feature, the implication is they’re in on this shit too, and Linux is a way to not use Windows.
Back in 2020 when I took my class for my A+ cert I remember the instructor directing us to a Windows 10 debloating video tutorial to speed up a Win10 computer. If I recall correctly In that video the host point’s out that one of the Microsoft services that ran in the background of every standard distribution of Windows 10 was a keylogger. It was one of the many things that got permanently turned off in the in the tutorial.
If you can remember how to disable this, please let me know
In the renewed spirit of Screw Microsoft today I found that video “https://youtu.be/DwiHog2leMM?list=FL7oNgzhY82m2rFR_j5lW9vw&t=393”
I don’t know how much of the video is still relevant as I’ve long stopped using Windows again to the point that my Cert has expired. Anyways, sorry for the late response. Good Luck!
