Solution? : make your desktop background a screenshot from a NetFlix movie

Malicious compliance is the best compliance.

Sooner or later only people who wear shirts with big brand logos and constantly sing music from the Beatles will be the only ones not permanently recorded by the system. Hell, add a photo of a topless woman somewhere in the mix and bam, instant privacy.

I've always been kind of interested in that idea. I'm not sure what to call it - a sort of civil resistance by selective non-palatability. Preventing commercial AI from being trained on your art by making sure there's some throbbing hard cocks in there somewhere, for example, or releasing source code that is explicitly NOT open source licensed, for the benefit of people who don't care about the license, and to the detriment of entities that do.

That won't do anything. Desktop images are not protected by DRM, and it's (at least mostly) not visible anyway if you're using the computer.

I have a wide monitor. I could have a Netflix movie playing in a side browser window when I want privacy. It'll be fun to mess with it.

I expect it would just blank out the movie window in the screenshots, leaving the rest visible. The way to get privacy is to turn it off or use another OS.

The only way is to use another OS. There are way too many other privacy leaks, many of which can't be turned off at all.

recall could come in handy as long as it has a "start record" and "stop record" button with an indicator like a red light when it is recording
