The editorialized title is also seriously misleading; it's hard to square "how does the Linux community respond?" with what looks like a single-person project that's cross platform:

> Cross-platform Support: OpenRecall works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, giving you the freedom to use it on your preferred operating system.

(and https://github.com/openrecall/openrecall/commits/main/ to see the "community" - don't get me wrong, this might become a community project and get wide support, but today it's one person's project)

Edit: Also, the HN title seems unreasonably accusatory; something to the effect of 'MS invaded user privacy, and now the Linux community is copying that', but there is a world of difference between a company with a track record of contempt for its users and their privacy pushing something as opt-out, vs a community building something that opt-in - Linux is about choice, and if a user decides to use something like this and it actually respects their privacy (which MS claimed to do, but why would you ever trust them?) then I could see it being a great feature.
