I thought this was a serious take for a second (until I looked at microsoft_recall_linux.exe - lol). Having said that, I would actually be keen for something similar that is both open-source and totally local so that I could use the output as AI fodder (for a local inference model of course).

Did you actually look at it? Or just look at it? Because it is actually open-source and totally local.
# ... nonsense
while true; do
grim - | tee ~/.recall/$(date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S").png | tesseract stdin stdout 2>/dev/null >~/.recall/$(date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S").log
# ... other nonsense
done
I think all the nonsense/emojis are supposed to be funny, but that actually does the thing. Replace "tesseract" with whatever local AI you want; replace grim with some other screenshotting tool if you like.I've done something like this for over a decade (although I have a diff that deletes duplicate frames) and I like to partition by date (do that "T" becomes a "/") because that makes other things easier, but my script isn't much more complicated than that.

When I was working in audits, I used to record everything happening on my screen with 3 fps and then rewatching it with 10x speed, just not to forget anything. When Recall was announced, I was in minority who thought it was super cool technology.
The technology can be cool while still be a horrific idea because of the implementation and privacy implications.

#26I know this is satire, but there is actually one and one you actually control. May be useful to remember who said what and where. It can be useful. Just not the way a megacorp implements it. Here it is [unaffiliated, untested by me, unvetted]: https://github.com/openrecall/openrecall

#27Tired of having to read release notes carefully and make sure I've done just the right things to stop it doing things I never asked it to do.
Good job MS, you lost a customer who's never likely to come back.
Been running windows/linux alongside each other since the late 90's and outside of gaming my computing life is linux (even my TV is connected to a fedora box) so not a hard switch.
