browser data is a potential liability, sure, but you have tools to manage it. you can delete pages or entire websites, you can use private windows, you can purge history older than 6 months or something like that, and at least a few browsers have a "forget" button that wipes out the last two hours of history. similar deals with cookies and other data, and we've collectively decided the benefit of having browser data is worth the risk.

not so here. Recall is a record of everything you've ever done on your PC. you can't selectively delete things like you can with browser history, the app and website exclusion is only as good as whatever Recall is using to detect apps and websites, and you can't redact sensitive info after the fact. people are generally okay with browser history and data because they know they have fine-grained controls to manage it, controls Recall doesn't have

the screenshots and text are just sitting in the appdata folder, which requires no special permission to access

AnnaArchivist is not the asshole here. this is extremely out-of-line and entitled behavior on CurrentRisk's part, whining about something as insignificant as download speeds and hounding AnnaArchivist for a response she is not obligated to give, on a post that's combative and immature and generally not worthy of her consideration, when she has so many better things to be doing

post title is misleading. it won't make criticizing Israel illegal, but it will be legally considered hate

not because she is vile — because she is a Republican. she has sacrificed her better nature for power and closeness to Trump. there is no particular reason why she is cruel, of course, because cruelty is the point.

try $ sudo apt install akmod-nvidia. it's gonna pull in some dependencies and a proprietary driver, and probably break Secure Boot if you have it set up, but that's how i got it to work on Fedora (except i used dnf, of course)

tenure was created to prevent nazi interference with academic freedom. and here we see nazi interference with academic freedom thwarted by tenure

that's all well and good, but one of the two will get in office no matter what. might as well suck it up and vote for the lesser evil.

besides, you said yourself which one you'd prefer. you'd flee the country if Trump got into office, and you acknowledge that the Democrats can be shamed into doing the right thing (unlike the Republicans). if it makes the choice more palatable, think of it not as a vote for someone but a vote against someone. not voting at all is complicity.

would you rather Trump be in office instead?

it isn't obvious to anyone reading mainstream news. news orgs are bending over backwards to obfuscate who's actually doing the killing (one particularly egregious example being the NYT writing a whole-ass haiku instead of stating that Israeli soldiers opened fire on Palestinians seeking aid). sure, this particular headline would be ok if it was common knowledge that Israel is causing the wanton destruction in Gaza, but thanks to every other headline being like this, it isn't
