Happy Swedish National Day! One of my favourite Swedish words is maskrosbarn, which means “dandelion child.” Dandelions can survive in almost any conditions, even growing through tarmac, so a dandelion child is one that still turns out well, despite having a difficult childhood.

So Windows Recall takes screenshots every few seconds, OCR's them, and then stores all that in plaintext in a SQLlite database. It's impossible to understate how much of a security issue this is. Easily compromised spyware installed by your OS!
Windows feature that screenshots everything labeled a security “disaster”

This is good advice
WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.
Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.
Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

If you’ve got yourself a wolf, learn to butcher.
If you have a librarian, learn smithery & make them armor.
If you got a vampire, learn to draw blood.
A rabbit? Learn to garden.
So it goes.
The point is: don’t transform yourself entirely for a person, but adapting a little shows them they matter.
