Right at this exact moment if all your friends & family & law enforcement saw all your search engine history, would you be embarrassed? Anything you'd want to delete before they see it? (lemmy.world)

My search history is permanently deleted every time I close the browser. So no, I wouldn't be embarassed at the 20 or so searches I did today

"JFC so many searches related to elisp and linux..."

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Assuming it magically can get my search history despite incognito, vpn etc I'd probably just ask them not to look at it, Embarrassing maybe but nothing that would get me in any trouble and anyone whose opinion I care about I trust wouldn't want to see it anyway

I’m sure they’d be thrilled to look into my wanting better turn signals for my car and turn signals at all for my bike.

Nothing I haven't already deleted!

If that ever happens I'll become both SCP-096 and SCP-096-1

Any archives of me would be so massive I doubt they'd be able to make sense of it. The only thing I'd particularly prioritize removing traces of is the fact that I came across a certain guy (and no shit I really did) while in a few places. No, not supporting the guy whatsoever, but he has an expansive legacy, only somewhat better than Dark Helmet.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Thanks, Pipey.

Are you saying you found Kim jong-un involved in atrocities on the dark web? sorry if I'm reading between the lines too deeply but that's what I gathered from your comment.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

I found him outside of it. He's out in the open in a lot of places, if you know where to look. He seems to confine those atrocities away from the open though.

Sup peeps! Take a break, I'm not going anywhere. They don't pay you enough to stay in that van all day.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Nah. I'd probably delete a fair amount so they weren't embarrassed themselves though.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

And I learned by watching the news in cases like Jared fogle, nothing can actually ever be deleted from hard drives & clouds. Even everything we've ever posted to Reddit and thought we deleted it, everything is always available somewhere for the experts to find.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Weeell, Jared was looking at cp which is illegal and unethical... that's a bit of a difference situation.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

Yes I know, my point is that nothing is ever deleted.

Big titties bitches

Oh shit, wrong place.

[-] Carrolade@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

News-related stuff mainly. With a healthy dose of helldivers 2 questions recently. So, no, not really.
