Yes. Because I don't want to give Google that information about me any longer. Which is my right and according to you Google is justified in locking me out and demanding that I give them that information to regain access to my account?
People like you fail to see the implications of this. We more and more live in a world where technology rules everything. Soon the CBDCs might take over. And when and if they do, you're gonna be forced to provide all sorts of information about yourself. Lets hope that you too will be okay with handing over your data just so you can buy groceries. After all, it's their system, their service. If you don't like their rules, don't use it. Right? :)
Times simular to your exaggeration will come and people will say "But it's their service! If you want to use it, you have to follow their rules". Not understanding that they're slowly handing over control over their lives because we live in a modern time where everything is about technology. Sad to see how many people don't understand this and disagree with me when I say that I'm infuriated over this.
While that is true, I do not fall into that category. I let KeePassXC generate all my passwords and most of them are longer than 30 chars. I'm just simply tired of being forced. I believe I should have the say in how I want to secure my account. Not the companies.
I understand that Google already has my phone number. That's not so much of a problem for me. I am trying to limit the amount of personal information that I hand out to websites & services. I believe that companies shouldn't need my personal phone number to create, maintain or secure my account. If I need security, I'll install 2FA TOTP. If not, that's still my decision and I shouldn't be forced. Especially not in form of having to provide my phone number.
As title says. I haven't used my Google account for more than 3 months. Prior to abandoning my Google account, I unlinked my phone number, deleted my recovery email, and logged out every device. I also never had 2FA TOTP setup.
Today I tried logging in and it won't let me. See video. Apparently, providing my login credentials doesn't prove that the account belongs to me. And no, I won't give them my phone number again to login.
I hate Google
Twitter users baiting other people into liking their post by lying that there's a new like animation.
I did so when I was uninstalling it. Great piece of software

> I initially only installed "Comodo Firewall" but for some reason they also installed a "Comodo Dragon Browser", which I did not consent to. I always choose the "advanced" installation to uncheck bloatware, but in this case there was none and when you try to uninstall the browser, they force you to participate in their survey otherwise you won't be able to uninstall the software..
I've seen a quick video about it on YouTube from a reputable Windows security YouTuber. Can't remember which exactly, probably "ThioJoe" or "The PC Security Channel". I wrote the softwares name down a long time ago and decided to give it a try today.
This right here. 100%.
I do care because I don't want to fall victim to their dark patterns and be coerced into providing them with free market research

He kinda looks like that puppet from Five Nights at Freddy's
It actually might be, because now a magic file appeared on my hard drive (a file that was once deleted) that I can't delete. When I try to delete it, even with admin rights, it says No such file or directory
I have no clue what a RAID is to be honest. I was using a VM with 6 GB RAM to do some work in another operating system and passed through my physical hard drive (Host to Guest) to write the data on when suddenly my VM got stuck.
The 44 GB of data that got lost consisted of 191 files each around ~220 MiB in one single folder. I used testdisk to inspect my drive and I couldn't find the data..
Perhaps there should be government controlled licenses for some technologies
I just lost 44 GB of data that I downloaded in the past two hours. My PC started to get laggy and it got stuck so I just shut it down believing that all will be well since the data has already been written to disk..
Been trying to submit a ticket to Mojang for weeks now, still doesn't work. Anyone else having the same issue?
