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.

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

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

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

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

[–] AsterixTheGoth@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Nope. Yes, that search I just did for how to break my network security. They don't need to know that, they can figure that shit out on their own.

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stuff can absolutly be deleted. If you overwrite the stuff that was previously saved there it's gone. The point is that cloud providers often just don't delete your stuff. And whatever you do your network provider allways knows what you search for.

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do we know for sure that Reddit doesn't keep an edit history for comments?

Oh most social media probably keeps a copy. But your search history is usually stored locally, so it's possible to delete that. Your internet provider only has a history of all sites that where visited via your internet connection and is unable to backtrack something to a specific device.

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

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago
