Signal Desktop now includes support for a new “Screen security” setting that is designed to help prevent your own computer from capturing screenshots of your Signal chats on Windows. This setting is automatically enabled by default in Signal Desktop on Windows 11. If you’re wondering why we’re on...

    I didn’t realize an app could do that. Won’t most apps just make it an option or enforce blocking recall?

      What Signal is doing is a workaround specifically used for DRM content. This feature is specifically so you can’t copy copyrighted content. I don’t think most apps would do this.

      According to Microsoft, Recall is opt in. I don’t fucking trust them though.

        I agree that they can’t be trusted. I’m getting a Mac this fall to switch away from windows.

        Sadly, my work can’t be done on Linux yet. I keep checking though. I’m really just waiting for a single app.

        Opt in probably just means you can’t view the results of recall 🫠

        So I guess it’ll probably block screenshots too?
