The title clearly conveys your stance. Cast a vote away. I’m voting because I don’t want to leave a digital footprint on unsuspecting machines at school, and if I neglect logging out often, the system won’t retain my session.

Occasionally, I also use CCleaner on every device I own. My data disappears (unless you're a tech-savvy gamer), and they get a bit of a clean-up too.

The only devices I don’t own are the school computers, which I just use for my email. I’ve verified them twice and will remove any unused ones from my daily routine.

Well... Some friends and I would sometimes post strange and disturbing content on all the school computers. We thought the admin wouldn’t notice since we used private browsing. We also shared this with our teachers, who were upset about it.

You're asking about what was meant. It seems they wanted background changes or searching online. They might have asked us to log out a few minutes early so we could access kindergarten accounts without a password. The monitors showed grades directly, using public accounts for PreK through 2nd grade. Some backgrounds were scary themes like Exorcist to keep kids engaged. Since there were no security cameras in the classroom, no one logged in was recorded. Because someone refused to admit it, we can't update our backgrounds now. I've been trying to fix this by going to Registry, but I don't have admin rights.

I only act on my own device. I never access external accounts or systems.

Yes, not because of tracking and history concerns though. It's a good way for multiple friends to access their social media accounts etc. on one PC without having to sign each other out first. The added extra's like not returning home to find a colorful FB post I curiously don't remember writing myself, on my wall proclaiming to the world that "I love big black c*cks" because I forgot to sign out is nice too (asshole friends ).

We could simply keep it running on one of those sites where it would continue spinning until you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to close it.
