@nixCraft can one of you IT managers or related explain to me whether Recall is baked in #Windows11 per se, or whether it is dependent only on #Copilot+ being enabled? I am confused by this from @theverge "Security researchers initially found that the #Recall database wasn’t encrypted. #Microsoft is now making the AI-powered feature an opt-in experience instead of on by default, encrypting the database, and authenticating through Windows Hello." https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/2/24233992/microsoft-recall-windows-11-uninstall-feature-bug

#JeremyCorbyn on #Labour's new positioning, #KeirStarmer's leadership and his own campaign running as an independent in the #GeneralElection. I almost tear up everytime I hear him, because such political honesty and consistency has become a rarity in the #UK political landscape. Please heed his words: "there's many diverse forces that are opposing this Conservative government. All kinds of political alliances will arise after the election: stick to your principles!"

The account and ballastics of the #IDF strike on #WorldCentralKitchen vehicles leave absolutely ZERO room for doubt: #Israel deliberately targeted the aid agency in #Gaza. The clearly marked vehicles were spread out over a 1.5 mile route previously agreed with the IDF. They were targeted in succession, as passengers from the first vehicle were fleeing to the 2nd, then 3rd vehicle. These things don't happen by 'mistake' as #Netanyahu pretends with a smile. https://www.channel4.com/news/three-british-aid-workers-in-gaza-killed-in-israel-airstrike

And if I may share this stellar interview of
Chris Gunness, utterly #British former chief spokesman for #UNRWA, blasting #Sunak's government decision to suspend funding of the #UN agency. https://www.channel4.com/news/uk-halting-aid-to-unrwa-is-wholly-disproportionate-and-punitive-former-un-agency-spokesman-says

You'd fully expect #Netanyahu to play dirty after the #ICJ verdict, but this is particularly nasty: 24h after the verdict, alleging #UNWRA [#UnitedNations Relief &Works Agency] employees in #Palestine are #Hamas terrorists, leading to their dismissal, thus seeking to undermine all #UN institutions & discredit UN impartiality. The #US & #UK immediately suspended funding to UNWRA, preferring a #humanitarian catastrophe & risking #genocide complicity over basic factchecking.

@feditips I tried that too, it doesn't work (that's how it is now). @Gargron and #mastodonsocial #devs, any chance you can look into it? #link #bug #linkpreview

If you run a small #tech business or are in charge of #IT #procurement and using #AWS or #Google #Cloud, join this employee-led action and sign the petition https://www.notechforapartheid.com/#sign .It is asking #Amazon & Google to stop #ProjectNimbus, a 2021 $1.22bn contract to provide cloud technology to the #Israeli government & military, powering violence against #Palestinians in #Gaza. “We embed respect for #humanrights throughout our business”? Make them! #NoTechForApartheid

@feditips any idea why the #linkpreview is adding a bit to the #url after the slash, thus breaking it? Like this "https://www.notechforapartheid.com/notechforapartheid.com" when the url in the post doesn't contain anything after the slash?

I will not be silent: I will not be #complicit
Between 350k & 500k people joined #London's #demonstration to support #Palestine #Gaza, in the wake of the most murderous night of #bombing & blackout by #Israel.
A number of #Labour MPs defied the whip & #KeirStarmer & came in support of #FreePalestine: Diane Abbott, Zarah Sultana, Bell Ribeiro & of course #JeremyCorbyn. Many #Jewish voices in the crowd, #NHS workers and... #Keffiyeh dogs!
