Should I delete my old Google account? (lemmy.ml)

Hi everyone, I have an old Google account that I don’t use anymore, and I’m thinking about deleting it. But I’m worried I may have used that email address for government services or other important accounts in the past, and I don’t want to overlook something that could cause problems later.

What should I check before deleting it? Do you have similar experience?

I heard keepass was going hard on the AI. Is that true? I can’t find much about it tbh.

I can't tell you much about that, other than

  • I've never heard about that
  • they haven't got an agents.md or similar giveaway files in their Github repo that suggest they do
  • they do have a short paragraph about GenAI in their Github that reads:

    Generative AI is fast becoming a first-party feature in most development environments, including GitHub itself. If the majority of a code submission is made using Generative AI (e.g., agent-based or vibe coding) then we will document that in the pull request. All code submissions go through a rigorous review process regardless of the development workflow or submitter.

Personally, I don't mind devs using GenAI if it's used in a responsible fashion, i.e.

  • it is used to support software engineering, not replace it: any actual creative / design work is done by humans, GenAI is only there to help with simple, but tedious tasks (writing smaller, easy-to-review code snippets, unit testing, etc.).
  • there's a human at the helm, meaning: every line of code is human-reviewed.

Also, I tend to trust projects more whose code base started long before GenAI was a thing. Typically, these have a large base of maintainers and contributors, and the people contributing code know what they're doing. This is certainly true of Keepass.

All fair I suppose, just wondering. Thanks for the reply!
