fossr··on Windows Recall: Microsoft has lost trust with its users

We launched a FOSS alternative two days ago OpenRecall https://github.com/openrecall/openrecall we're fleshing out the roadmap to build a more privacy-friendly/auditable/secure alternative that is not dependent on OS or specific hardware

fossr··on Microsoft Research chief scientist has no issue with Recall

Some people think it coukd genuinely be a useful feature, just like you can rewind your TV or a live stream to go back. It should really be open source however to be auditable for anyone.

fossr··on Microsoft has gone radio silent on Windows Recall

Yeah you're right. We have it on our roadmap to allow the user to blacklist apps. A default list of apps will be included such as password manager.

We've made an open source alternative OpenRecall to address some of the concerns https://github.com/openrecall/openrecall We want to make it fully auditable, privacy focused and aim to have a better security model. Everything runs and is stored locally and only analyzed using open source models.

fossr··on TotalRecall: Extracts and displays data from the Windows 11 Recall feature

This is cool. What would be a good way to prevent this type of extraction? We just launched OpenRecall https://github.com/openrecall/openrecall with which we want to offer a fully open source/auditable and privacy/security focused alternative.
