For regular PCs or laptops, which generally have at most one of each type of adapter, I don’t see any reason not to.

Cool, that oughta pay for three months’ worth of food and rent in NYC

I’m sure there are many ways to improve on this solution, but they would all require significantly more effort (ElasticSearch isn’t exactly trivial to set up).

This is really just a proof of concept, the most minimal viable implementation that gets you something similar in terms of functionality.

For instance, Windows Recall stores OCR content tagged by app, this solution doesn’t. Also, as others have mentioned, a practical implementation should likely check if anything has changed at all and discard any screenshots that don’t have any new data.

Something something JFK

If communities were global instead of instance-based, instance mods/admins would likely still be able to moderate posts and comments hosted on THEIR instance (which may be important to confirm to local laws), but they wouldn’t be able to moderate the ENTIRE discussion.

There are likely some advantages to this (such as discussion not being able to be stifled by overeager or politically extremist mods), but it would also mean there is no way to globally enforce any particular rule (unless all instance admins agree on it).

Instance URL checks out

Two can play that game. And since ChatGPT has a rather liberal bias baked in, I’m not sure it would it work out too well for the tankies.

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

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.

I just ended up banning the whole instance from my account so I don’t end up posting there accidentally. If they want an echo chamber, they can have an echo chamber.

I hate how long it took me to figure out the intended meaning of this tweet.

So you’re saying there IS a chance…

It might, because it could be configuration issue.

It should be at the bottom of the page. Looks like your instance is on version 0.19.3, which I believe is the most recent one.

For any further questions, you should probably talk to your instance admin.
