New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC

Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

downside: going to have to include a picture of the Giza pyramids in the slides for the lecture upside: i get to give people a crash course in why perspective matters in two frames, because

Should I share more WiPs? I'm gonna try sharing more WiPs. Dunno if this is something people would be interested in.

I'm planning something a little more complicated next. There was one more Asuka sketch that I really liked, and I was envisioning it as being part of its own scene. So far I'm just at a preparatory stage, blocking the scene and moving shapes around, but I think it shows promise.

If you want to read a little more about my thought process feel free to check under the cut!

In Tekken lore, Asuka takes it upon herself to be a peacekeeper, which may or may not be an excuse to get into street fights with a moral high ground. I wanted to take a chance to portray her in her element, breaking up a fight between criminals and getting ready to throw hands herself, enjoying every moment of it.

By necessity of the scene it's a bit of a crowded stage, and I feel it requires a bit of planning before jumping into it. I naturally still want Asuka to be the star of the composition, merely framed by the two thughs in the foreground and not overshadowed by them. I'm gonna work on colors and contrasts to make her pop more, but the scene needs to work just as well by value and detail density alone.

I'm pushing my skill level a little with this one, but you know, there's a time for staying in your comfort zone and there's a time for venturing outside. I'm gonna do my best!

Today is Father's Day and well...
