For the folks saying install Linux keep in mind you can indirectly be captured by this feature.
For example if you’re playing an online video game you’ll be captured or your chat messages in your messaging app.

Of course, the idea is that there's less risk of that the more people switch.
You can't convince 99% of windows users to switch, the real solution is done via legislation. The force of a government is more powerful any boycotts you can muster. (For example: European Union has been passing a regulations on right to repair, do privacy laws next)
Why not both? As Linux achieves more and more momentum, you are bound to see real change in how Microsoft treats its users.

Setting aside for the moment that it is a much better idea to just stop using windows. One of Microsofts arguments for why you shouldn't continue using Windows 10 is because it will stop being updated and will soon be insecure and get inundated with malware, adware, spyware ect. But Windows 11 already comes preinstalled with all of that so what difference does it make?

Setting up a laptop for a nephew, gonna remember this tomorrow.
“How to disable this opt in feature”: “don’t turn it on”
I get that Lemmy is a bastion for M$ hate but FUD articles get annoying.
Microsoft's idea of consent:
Do you want to turn on Recall?
- Yes
- Maybe Later
I had a rough morning and your comment made it worst.
It won't be just opt-in for very long.
