Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency (www.youtube.com)

TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

I guess you were downvoted because Recall is a closed-source privacy nightmare, and systemd, for all its flaws, is open source.

Does it relate to your statement? No. But people will take pitchforks if you compare the two, I fancy.

I fancy

I'm not saying you aren't fancy, but grab a pitchfork and start fencing with it!!

(But yes, I was a bit confused by downvotes too but your explanation makes sense - which is weird bcs now that I understand it as such I'm def in the pitchfork crowd, even if I think we should be either way more lenient or give waaay more funding for the open sauce peeps providing us the rescue we don't deserve)
