I don't see why any response to M$ is required.

Anyone who runs a free software operating system is free to implement any such recording system they desire. These developments should be driven by user requirements, not in response to some new M$ feature.

By "community", it's implied that this is a diverse and disparate group of individuals and organizations. If any one of these desires to make or use a system, like the linked openrecall, then others are free to use it or not, or ignore it completely if they desire.

This makes no inference about the motives, or user desires of any other members of the "community". Which is completely different from the MS OS user "community", who are all bound by what the M$ corporation chooses to do.

This is an excellent example of the distinction between free software and open source. The point of free software is to facilitate user freedom, not just to share the source code.

You're responding to the editorialized headline. The (too long to fit) link's title is:

openrecall/openrecall: OpenRecall is a fully open-source, privacy-first alternative to proprietary solutions like Microsoft's Windows Recall. With OpenRecall, you can easily access your digital history, enhancing your memory and productivity without compromising your privacy.

You again fail to recognize the disticntion between free software and open source.

Does this make your reply also editorialized?
