What Signal is doing is a workaround specifically used for DRM content. This feature is specifically so you can't copy copyrighted content. I don't think most apps would do this.
According to Microsoft, Recall is opt in. I don't fucking trust them though.
I agree that they can’t be trusted. I’m getting a Mac this fall to switch away from windows.
Sadly, my work can’t be done on Linux yet. I keep checking though. I’m really just waiting for a single app.
Dropped windows for Linux
So I guess it'll probably block screenshots too?
Yes
Opt in probably just means you can't view the results of recall 🫠
