@harrysintonen That showed up as ‘disabled’ for me when I went to the settings page. I think it’s been there for a while, I vaguely remember turning it off a while ago.
I went there recently to turn this stuff off and it was enabled just now so

@harrysintonen I assumed they were already doing that. I assume they still are, with some weasel words so that you can't sue them even if you could afford to. And there are all the other reasons not to be on github too.

@TheGreatLlama @Npars01 @harrysintonen I did not notice the article saying "being a psychopath is a bad thing."
You may want to read:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Psychopath_Test
(I like all things Jon Ronson).In it, Ronson discusses psychopathy with the investor "Chainsaw Al." For "Chainsaw Al" psychopathy personality traits are 100% positive.
I think for CEOs, a psychopathy diagnosis would be a badge of honor. "Empathetic is pathetic with a prefix."
