Interesting - other than insistently asking why I was terminating my Internode/(iiNet/TPG) services today I was informed (and I quote) when asking for my personal information to be deleted that...

Internode will not be affected by "issues like the Optus and Medicare data breaches because our security is tip top".

That was also by way of an excuse as to why there is apparently no mechanism to contact management other than supplying feedback (when Internode ask for it) to delete my data and also why (as it stands) Internode/iiNet/TPG intend to store my information forever.

EDIT: In the spirit of fairness, this was a much better answer that I got by sending the same question to Internode via FaceBook:
“Protecting the privacy of our customers is extremely important to us, and we take all reasonable steps to ensure that any information we store is done so securely, protected from unauthorised use, and in compliance with relevant law.

Coding with vi/vim for 30 years - love using vim and yet and yet and yet... #vscode is really very good isn't it.

Works great out of the box - and still lots of configuration options to meet personal preferences.

Jumping in over the last week I've I've completed (and have been having a great time with) "Trebuchet?!" Day 1"Haunted Wasteland" thorough to Day 8 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/8

I was once chatting with a police-type friend who enjoyed crime dramas simply because the cases were inevitably simple and solvable within a half-hour story. I think I'm finding the coding challenges similarly fun and relaxing for the same reason.
