This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I love that anons can't realize that this is obviously fake and intentional to make you paranoid enough to make the unix/linux swap. Windows recall is here. This post is fake for now...but it's a matter of time folks

Those saying it's not a real thing, it kind of is but not as how green text suggests. My dad, for reasons, had certain images of a flirtatious neighbor (uuuuugghhh!!) and also had a OneDrive app on his phone for work which has a habit of deciding quite randomly what to share.

According to him, which do take this with a grain of salt, OneDrive shared these photos not just with IT at his job, but frequently threatened to share the images with contacts. Also, his Alexa app got in on the fun and displayed the images to his echo show... I needed eye bleach.

Can this be done on PC? Y'know, plausible. I've had windows randomly make porn my wallpaper before, and that was in my spare drive and in a folder labeled 2005 tax info. And that wasn't even recent, who knows now.

I once lived somewhere I was sharing wifi with the neighbors, any time I'd right click on some porn Windows would give the option to stream it to their smart tv, I could not figure out how to disable it so this no longer happens.

Did it only offer this for porn?

Back when I was a kid we downloaded Napster and shared everything. Now the tech giants are Reverse-Napster and sharing everyone

They got big mad and decided to reverse Uno us.

Seriously since when Windowd does this ? Asking for a friend so they don't accidentally send me their porn.

Obviously it doesn't

Is that actually a thing? I haven't used Windows in a year.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm guessing it's hyperbole based on microsofts newest push for its OS to save all your data to their servers instead of your own hdd and maybe a hint of the gross Windows Recall "feature"in win11.
