I'm not sure if He knows Rust well enough to do that, and having some sort of background in infosec would likely also be helpful.

Like I said, fine with me as long as it's on neutral ground and they can't just have an admin delete some of my arguments because they don't like them.

It appears to be as simple as tesseract <infile> <outfile>. Possibly could even pipe (or tee) the screenshot straight into that and save both an image and a text file in a single command line.

So something like this should do the trick:

gnome-screenshot -f - | tee /Microsoft/yourPrivacy/$(date +%s).png | tesseract - /Microsoft/yourPrivacy/$(date +%s).txt

Skip the database, just use grep to search that directory if you need to find anything. Voilà, homemade Recall.

Llava and Bakllava are two Ollama models than can not only extract text but also describe what's happening on screen.

Using tesseract-ocr, as the other guy suggested, is probably simpler and less resource intensive though.

In order to be certified for running Recall, machines currently must have an NPU (Neural Processing Unit, basically an AI coprocessor). I assume that is what makes it practical to do by offloading the required computation from the CPU.

Apparently it IS possible to circumvent that requirement using a hack, which is what some of the researchers reporting on it have done, but I haven't read any reports on how that affects CPU usage in practice.

I mean, we should probably care at least enough to make sure they're not smuggling in any backdoors that would allow them take over the entire Lemmyverse.

I know it's open source so that's somewhat difficult to accomplish but not impossible (see the recent stealth attack on SSH/OpenSSL). At the very least, it requires people from outside their echo chamber to regularly review commits being made made before admins begin rolling out new updates.

I'm fine with it as long as I don't have to debate them on THEIR terms.

Okay, look. Attacking their character was uncalled for and I apologize for that. I've met some fairly awful people who were on welfare but also some really good ones.

But the point is, you said "anyone can be successful if they aren’t paying for shit" and I gave you an example of people where that's largely not the case. Doesn't matter if that's because of illness, disability, or character flaws, "anyone" means "anyone". So shut up and just admit you were wrong.

It works for me. I used to be a paying customer of Bartender until I upgraded to Sonoma and was asked to pay yet again.

Hidden Bar may be somewhat minimalistic but it does the part I really need well enough. The extra features were nice but not really necessary.

I’m honestly fine with that, because outside of their home server, they cannot rely on their mods to protect them from arguments they don’t want to hear.

On your Lemmy instance, go to Settings -> Blocks and just block the entire instance. That's what I did.
