Sure! It won’t comply, though.

Ars Technica reports Microsoft will add AI to Windows, to steal your corporate secrets in c/[email protected]

The 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.

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.

Finally back down to 14 tabs, still too embarrassed to show anyone in c/[email protected]

Some web applications force me to open their screens in separate tabs and windows, by making the screens remove any filtering on revisit by back button. And thus I have 20 tabs open that all start with the same meaningless word.

Let's Play AQ-10 • I find it easy to "read between the lines" when someone is talking to me in c/[email protected]

Indeed. I'm not totally oblivious. Luckily I have learned a few phrases and figures of speech. But it seems I had a way harder time learning those than my school mates who weren't on the spectrum.

I took that AQ-10 test, and also pondered this particular question. No, I suck at reading between the lines. Give it to me straight, please. No beating around no bush.

Figures of speech pose an equal problem: I may just lack the cultural awareness that allistic people enjoy, but it's rare for me to understand a common phrase, and more often than not I'll invent a completely new one.

Reading between lines: do allistic people do that? How? Is it some skill I can learn?

Java Records slash a million lines of code off my programs (medium.com)
 

Advances in the java programming language, version 16 and newer, slashed a million lines of code from my codebase. Maintaining my programs became easier overnight, due to this 1 secret trick: Records. 
Unfortunately version 16 was not LTS, so I had to wait until this year's release of version 21, which is LTS. 
 Go read the linked article. It explains Java Records in a very approachable manner.

Stop Firefox from suggesting github.blog web address whenever I enter "github" into address bar (solved) (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Solution: delete all bookmarks that point to an article hosted at github.blog.

Background: For the longest time, Firefox would suggest the github.blog web address whenever I type "github" into the address bar. I found that weird: yes the word "blog" starts with a letter lower in the alphabet than the word "com", but the ".com" TLD is much more popular so should show up first, right?

Right... unless you, like me, have web search suggestions turned off when entering web address into the address bar. Instead, it takes suggestions from my bookmarks and open tabs, like I instructed it.

Thus, Firefox is behaving exactly as designed and instructed, and the solution is to remove the bookmarks that point to github.blog.

I only wish I'd had recognized that sooner...
