Watching Windows gets worse and worse is a lot more fun when you don't have to use it. I use Mint btw.
The emails you write to people who use Windows are not private anymore too
Unless you used PGP or something, emails were never "private" in any meaningful sense of the word.
Emails you write to literally anyone are no longer private the moment it leaves your outbox.
Well, unless you are one of the dozen people using gpg encryption.
That is not going to stop Windows Recall from screenshotting the message once decrypted.
What I mean is that you don’t have control over it anymore, whoever received it can show it to whoever and whatever they choose.
@knatschus @SaharaMaleikuhm This is an interesting take. I hope that Email Clients which supports GPG ( none Microsoft Products ) will also deny recall from function like brave does by default -> https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/23/brave/_browse/_block/_microsoft/_recall/
It would also be a interesting question if under GDPR companies need to tell you that they might have shared your emails with Microsoft because they enabled Recall ( if they so do ) ...
So many questions ....
