I've been hammering this into people's heads for over a decade now. Anything you put public is not "personal data". If you go to town square and yell that you like cheese cake do you then expect everyone to forget it upo

Wow I've never seen such bloated python project before. It has 10 dependancies with 2 additional optional dependancies and the introduction/tutorial is absurdly overspecific. The first example they use to describe the tool is: &gt
