Thanks. This is very useful. I'm surprised at push back I always get on this topic so it's nice to see I'm not the only one. I thought tech people were concerned about privacy, but I guess not? I know discord and a few other apps offer a "streamer mode" that hides the username so you don't broadcast it to your audience if you stream, I wish more apps and sites adopted that feature.

It's a crutch, anyway. The only way to have predictable results when streaming is to have an environment with only things safe to stream. Same rule like with environment variables, home directories, ai agents or whatever...

I have shown "wrong" things, like a password, a few times too many, even before streaming was a thing.
