This doesn't feel like it was LLM-written, if that's what you mean.

I don't know a good solution for this. 99% of websites asking for this hypothetical permission would not deserve it. Users (rightfully) don't expect that uploading a photo leaks their location.

Element (the matrix client) used to not strip geolocation metadata for the longest time. I don't know if they fixed that yet.

>Right before we hit send on our announcement emails for our new Build Awesome Kickstarter campaign... This is spam.

Yes, so they collected emails from users of one product and are now spamming marketing emails about a fundraising campaign for a different product.

That's at least two steps removed from being merely questionable. I'm really struggling to understand how they imagined that this wouldn't end up being blocked.

Thanks chatgpt

I nominate Nawaz Dhandala as "the king of AI slop"

He's just an idiot doing it in public, because there are people generating hundreds of posts a day for years now without committing it on github under their real name.

That maintainer (also the one whose creds got stolen) also has an obvious chatgpt slop profile picture on github.

Copilot has improved GitHub's uptime from five nines to nine fives, a four magnitude improvement!

XMLDSig is notoriously difficult to implement correctly and securely, I hope this doesn't backfire.

Let me add a few more search providers

brave search ecosia (environment focused) qwant mojeek (a little bit obscure) swisscows (once again obscure)

There is also searx and searxng and their public instances which actually are a mix of many of the search providers I listed about.

Giving references to anyone whose interested perhaps but duckduckgo is a good option to start out and its something that I myself use.

It is the same shit. Dear duckduckgo, when I ask for results in English (or in other language), I mean it.

It looks like those days Google and duckduckgo are also hallucinating. You aske some terms, in a specific order, and get something which has no relation, whatsoever, with the search query.

Was anyone actually affected by this? Is this package a dependency of some popular package?

I assume the answer is no because this is clearly clickbait AI slop but who knows.
