Just curious.

    Honestly, I couldn’t care less who knows what about me… Not making it easy for anyone, don’t get me wrong, I believe in not saying more than is needed. But I see no reason to not answer truthfully when asked something personal.

    I’m the type of person who’d willingly give my data to train LLMs or what-have-yous if their owners weren’t a bunch of pricks and just asked me nicely instead of that “Legitimate Interest” cloak and dagger bullshit. Also if they weren’t money grubbing bastards.

      if you’re using a public email service like gmail; you’ve already done this and they’ve made billions because of off your information.

        I know, which is why I’ve called them pricks, bullshit artists, and money grubbing bastards.

        Sucks for them that my Gmail account is almost exclusively for spam nowadays, switched to Proton a while back. I’m sure Proton aren’t 100% Paragon, either, but at least they’re not Google.
