A random dude is doing the same thing, but in rust (super important to mention right), storing the data in sqlite => Magnificent project, we want more!
You guys are fucking weird.
1) It was not in fact encrypted and any user could mess with it. AND the data was stored in SQLite too. Microsoft only started fixing this after their totally negligent security was brought to light.
2) Recall is maintained and auto updated by Microsoft which can change the rules at any point (e.g. add datamining at a later point). At least with Screenpipe the end user decides. This solution is open-source so you know what's happening.
1. You have a choice. With MS you don't. You can't opt-out, at least for now.
2. And as prev buddy said, you never know what MS will do with your data.
3. Recall will be heavily targeted and from day-1 some malware will target it. Random dude's pet project doesn't (even though it is a security through obscurity).
