To be honest, I think most don’t know about noai.duckduckgo.com – at least I didn’t.

Am I the only one who thinks that the text looks like generated by ChatGPT? At least everything after the first paragraph?

Was the blog post titled „how to be the worst OSS citizen“? That would at least be consequential

Wow, that was my first crush, too. Damn, Wing Commander was a really great game.

This is backed by evidence.

After WW2 there was a lot of research about weather people knew or didn’t. Basically the conclusion was: people knew. They actively decided to either ignore it („not my department“), deny it („it’s all lies, the scent is just $foo burning“) or justify it („they deserved it“).

But people knew.

HR software in Germany needs to know because we have to send this information to the government. Along with a lot of other information.

Hehe. Damn, absolutely fell for it. Nice 😂

As an old fart you can’t imagine how often I heard or read that.

Wrong question. The right question is: is the solar panel able to be CO2 neutral (at least) or CO2 negative. We don’t get anything out of it if producing the solar panel costs more CO2 emissions than it saves by producing electricity.

Before you ask: I don’t know the answer. I was looking into this thread in hope to find it.

To be honest, I wasn’t aware of this option when I wrote this library. Nowadays I would chose this path.

Yeah, well. What should I say. I wanted to use it in a commercial project, too :)

Apple deployed a library I wrote to every mac on the world, and additionally bundles it with Xcode.

Apple users reported some bugs, that‘s how I found out.

I never heard a word from them. No patches, no bug reports, nothing, they didn’t even bother to refresh the bundled version.

I think in the meantime they removed it from macOS but still bundle it with Xcode.

I mean, I didn’t any money, but some appreciation would’ve been nice, and a version refresh…

If you are curious: it is this library: https://github.com/ckruse/CFPropertyList

Edit: appreciation as in: a mail with a notice that they did so.
