I do the same. Reasonable deattachment from a form brings freedom to focus on a meaning.
Re:Dear Spotify, can we just get a table of songs? on Saturday June 04, 2022 @11:37AM (#31621596)
YouTube not even try to hide fact it presents search reasults that are completly not relevant to user query.
What is a purpose of that list?
I'm not sure, but I guess in some countries there is law against asking for certain personal information.
After they asked for the PESEL (Polish national identity number) I just stopped filling the form. It's sensitive personal data, you don't want to give it unless it's necessar and you have complete trust for requesting party.

Re:Run More Stuff in Docker on Sunday December 27, 2020 @09:17AM (#25551172)
I prefer zero-dependency single file executables. Elegant and easy to comprehend. Docker only adds another layer of abstraction and its advantages are questionable.

Who on Earth think onboadrding mail is a good idea? It's junk mail and nobody reads it. Never place there any important information - most users completely ignore them.

The only mail I expect is email address confirmation.
