The worst that could happen is that people see I watch porn. But everyone does, I wouldn't be that embarassed. Slightly blushing though.
I don't have much sensitive data on my laptop. I mean passwords are blocked off. So what can people see?
OBS (the streaming app) does let you limit the window to stream. I did use Incognito for most of the streams. I did also make a separate Twitch login on my OSX but it was such a pain to re-login to stream that I never used it.
There's definitely a risk here but yeah it's a trade off.
- metafunctor 9y agoFunny, I'd say my Google API keys are a way, way, way bigger secret than the fact that I sometimes watch porn. Most people do, so it's not a big surprise that I might. I wouldn't much care if people saw me naked. It's just my flesh. Everyone has a body. It's easy to find pictures of naked bodies, and pictures of mine probably wouldn't be very interesting. But my API keys, they are unique and important. That said, for random private-ish accounts I use Chrome user profiles. Safari does not have them. Are you American?

- pieterhg 9y agoYes, I'm Dutch. But yes, I can't say I'm much embarrassed about much anymore. Being transparent on the internet helps with that :)
