Writing is an excellent hobby with many benefits!
Edit: I see now how intensely sarcastic this must sound. It wasn’t, I’m just weird.
This is how Microslop imagines the Copilot Recall feature works without understanding that precisely zero people would interact with their computer in a way to indicate the Chinese restaurant they searched for that one time has their favorite egg rolls.
i mean if they have access to everything, and esp if you ever praised those egg rolls to anyone, they could check which restaurants you’d been to shortly before then.
Makes sense. Me personally, after I have a good egg roll, I go back to my computer and create a new .txt file in Notepad and immediately type
“man that was a really good egg roll. Good egg roll Yen’s Chinese Food on 7th street. I really hope I dont forget this good egg roll I ate at Yen’s on Tuesday November 22and at 2pm. Good Yen’s roll egg Chinese yummy.”
Then I immediately delete the note so it can’t be searched and just pray someone was screenshotting everything on my computer for future review.
Commonplacing/journalling in something like obsidian could enable this, albeit not retroactively or automatically :3
Yeah I was about to say
Generally using tools for this sort of purpose is known as a “Personal Knowledge Base” or just “personal wiki”
Obsidian is a good software for that, and I use it for that purpose, albeit it’s not open-source. But it’s very useful to help keep you organized

don’t forget the hallucinated AI generated answer on the top as well.
I don’t need AI to hallucinate memories in my mind thank you very much.
You will be getting stuff like that in future, I predict. Oh, and you will also be getting ads in your brain
I’m sure it’s coming. And will be ad supported, and your memories will be tampered with so companies can sell you more crap that you don’t need.
When people ask things like “what mundane superpower would you have” this is basically my go to. I want to operate my brain like a computer, search for stuff, delete stuff I don’t want, put it to sleep whenever I want, etc.
So many books and movies and games I’d love to delete and experience again.
But then, it gets kinda complicated, doesn’t it.
If I delete something I love there’s chance I might not love it again even when I see it, because I’m a different person at a different point in my life.
Even worse, if I delete something that had big influence on the person I became, shaped my thoughts and feelings, continues even now to do so, does that change who I am?
I have been thinking that about Baldur’s Gate 1+2 lately. Still great games and BG2 doesn’t even look particularly dated (once you install a widescreen patch anyway). But I can’t imagine that I’d have the patience to figure out the game system nowadays, and in new RPGs I vastly prefer turnbased combat over BG’s ‘real time with pause’.
Or what’s that word I can’t remember so I can make a clever reply?
