alt Hacker NewsWhat I dont like about computer todo or task lists is that they kind of describe you pretty well to prying eyes. As a privacy enthusiast im not that keen on having that info get out, especially with recall and possibly multiple other ai agents running around in the background looking through my stuff. I dont know what the solution to this is and Im not sure Linux will be free from this either in the future. Perhaps a disconnected linux box purely for todo lists that i manually ssh into to get access to? (but that would then be connected, hmm... perhaps through a physical firewall intermediary?)

It is local, the program use a sqlite db locally and does not talk to internet whatsoever.
In that it's not necessarily different than writing your todolist on a notebook - someone other than you could have got hold of that and read it - say if it's on a shared shelve.
if you're ultra paranoid and want a private OS to read / write - tails and set up a home directory on a thumbdrive
This argument also seems to apply to every other form of data about yourself. Once someone has access to your computer, I think the battle of preventing them from finding out about you is kinda over?
