@nixCraft@mastodon.social True... this is why I treat my Windows machine as a terminal now.

Linux for everything else.

@walterburns I'm sure some amazing devs will find a workaround... just depends how hack-y it is. Which kind of leaves me concerned because the more hack-y solution, generally the less available it is to your average person.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social If I remember correctly, they did the same thing (unable to uninstall) with Win10/Cortana, but you could disable it in the registry. Wonder if something similar could be done with Recall.

In any case, Recall is an absolute shit show both security and privacy wise.
