• Secure your passwords and logins with Proton Pass: https://proton.me/pass/TheLinuxEXP

• Windows is a spyware

• Kde deserves more funding that those tablet ui pushing gnome dei garbage.

• I can't agree with you about Firefox performance. I use Firefox every day and can't notice any performance issues. The real problem is that developers don't test their applications against Firefox, so sometimes you can face a bug in Firefox only. And nobody of developers will care about your complaint, because Firefox is not a mainstream browser now.

• What the Recall thing should have done is store some METADATA like window titles, not screenshots. Anyways, I'm not touching Windows ever again.

• I can think of loads of uses for that copilot stuff. No longer do you need to exfiltrate data, just ask recall during an update to find out if the corporate/government goon squad should pay you a visit!
  "Hey recall, has this user engaged with any dissident material, any banned apps, or communicated with anyone through end-to-end messaging being critical about X or sympathetic to enemy Y?"
  "Hey recall, does this person have any content they shouldn't have in a Plex library or any game/media we don't like?" "Hey recall does what things is this person shopping for? Are they playing more pc games then usual, lets offer them an ad for xbox and gamepass!"

  They'll paint it as protecting children or copyrights, or upholding the law, but really all they care about is having total control and complete access to everything you do. People will literally go to the store and buy their own digital spy.

• GNOME going DEI, cool, never using it again. Everyone is so sick of this shit lmao

• Don't go on porn sites

• Nice video! The windows feature might finally make a lot of people switch

  Btw which distro are you daily driving? I heard that the Ubuntu deb version of firefox is compiled without much optimization and is slower than the flatpak firefox. The Deb version was unbearably slow but when I tested flatpak firefox I found it almost as fast (slightly slower) than chromium browsers.

• They threw DEI into their plan… that's the death call right that unfortunately.

• Aaaaannndd… no more GNOME for me.

• "windows adds spyware" is the same as "water is wet"

• the worse part is that recall will not censor things like passwords & bank account numbers

• Finally Microsoft can see my snapshots of
  – downloading linux
  – downloading rufus
  – create bootable usb

• gnomes have a SILENT G, its not pronounced GEHnome, its just nome

• Copilot+PC or GNU+Linux

• Great for police and the fbi

• Should I get Gnome or KDE?

• Linux simply Rocks, I use RichARCH btw. It made it quick and simple for me to get Arch Linux installed with kickstart like automation features.

• QUIC is a protocol added to TCP/IP. It basically improves connections by multiplexing them. Obviously there is more to it so check it out.

• I do volunteer work that involves people's sensitive health information. I'm so glad I use Linux and ensure the services I use to handle this data is also private and secure. Though it pains me greatly to see how little care is given to sensitive data in the wider health community – other volunteers, other non-profits, health workers, even at the government level. It's extremely disturbing how little care the average person gives to the sensitive data they are exposing by using unsafe services (e.g. Windows, Google, social media, etc.)

• Tbf passwords likely wont be leaked on screenshots because they are hidden everywhere (and if any application doesn‘t hide your password on login get tf away from it asap) but credit cards are gonna be serious

• I actually think the Firefox roadmap looks promising. Native profile management has always been a big absence, responsiveness improvements and tab management all sound like good stuff.

  I'm not necessarily even against the AI stuff either as long as its local and ethical.

• You ought to explain to Coreteks that screenshots, spyware, royalty camping and planned obsolescence aren't forms of "innovation". He's so incredibly susceptible to Intel, Apple and Microsoft marketing he just dropped a video calling for a change of guard at AMD for a bunch of insanely backwards ideas. He's in need of an adult mentor lol

• I would like to know how a screenshot could take a photo of your password if you have Asterix’s showing in the field 😊

• "It won't take pictures of copyrighted material"

  So, it won't take pictures of, say, that article they mentioned in their example use-case?

• This proposed Recall violation raises a question for me: Do many people really not pay attention to what they save on their computers?

  Learning how to organize a directory tree in the days of DOS was a valuable life lesson.

• The plan us pretty sound ..sounds vague

• Dualbooting Arch and Win10 seems like a good choice nowadays…

• Finally! i can peacefully use Dolphin in twms and gnome without the themeing nightmare..

• The only use I see in that "ai" thing is controlling your rebellious teenager

• windows adds spyware ❌
  windows IS spyware✅

• Thanks buddy – this channel is my GoTo Linux drip 😉

• Gracias por las noticias 👍

• Storing them on the most secure NSA servers.

• You say Recall is on by default but everything I've seen says it's OFF by default

• Another good week for Linux because of stupid MS thinking.

• Microsoft is doing everything in their power to make people switch to linux.

• Microsoft are their own worst enemy.

• Windows is only as a second OS on my PC when I want to play League of Legends – because their anti cheat software wants to access the Kernel level.. other than that, this OS is never being used other than this single use case.

• How can anyone, in their right mind, still use winblows knowing the latest shenanigans Microshaft is doing? IOS is guilty of similar b.s. also…
