If you are not using an OS which has something like windows recall enabled, or that weird stardict with online lookup with automatic lookup on select which came up recently.

I wonder how far back this has been going on. Did ICQ, IRC server hosters, BBSes do similar things?

No, back then storage was a premium so everything aside from config, accounts, and billing was ephemeral. It really wasn’t until Cloud came along that storage made it so you could keep everything. About the time of the social media boom.

It wasn’t until around 2014 that I stopped building routes that did:

    DELETE FROM <table> WHERE id = ? ON DELETE CASCADE;

Just curious what other OS has something similar? MacOS maybe?

Well this appears to be local and open-source, so if we're talking about being datamined this is not a concern.
