9·6 months agoThe Windows 10 equivalent, Timeline, got discontinued in 2021. At this point in time it is unknown whether Microsoft will retrofit Recall into Windows 10. Knowing Microsoft it is safe to assume they’ll try anything for profit.
Seconded: CryptPad and Obsidian.
I like CryptPad by Framasoft, for big stuff.
Microsoft has a history of doing so, both with Minecraft customers and others. They just don’t care.

With some of my smaller clients, the CIO is the same as the CTO and the same as the IT Director. There, IT is developers, too.
Enterprise will cause a boom in hiring VBA devs to migrate legacy apps to other programming languages, then hear Microsoft will extend support for a few more years, then fire all those VBA devs again. If Microsoft had some wits, they’d create easy tools to migrate VBA to C#.
Wouldn’t it face the exact same security issues as VBA, with drive-by installs of obfuscated malware and executions of arbitrary code?

So they say. Remember they also promised not to track users, keep trackers away, and keep your browsing experience ad-free. They came back from that within a year.
Vivaldi has no choice. They have built their browser on Blink, which is made by Google. Google will force them to comply. Their way out would be to go back to the Opera web browser, which they gave up on over a decade ago.
The effect those people will have on profit margins probably are negligible, given the large amount of people using Google-created web browsers already.
Looks like a problem with your theme. Try a completely fresh profile with no themes installed.
Sure! It won’t comply, though.
