> Am I the only one who find it disturbing that a privacy focused service publishes a detailed report of which institutions is accessing their service

I don't find it disturbing at all, and it's perfectly in line with what you would expect a privacy focused service to do: name and shame those that are attacking privacy.

Look at the list, only a few of them have anything to do with this legislation.

Many of these probably against it and expect privacy, that's why they are using quad9. They are the victims here.

If they had said "this service is used by this or that proponent of the legislation", your point could stand, even though I still disagree.

Also, it is about blocking, not spying, still bad, but orthogonal to privacy.

Uniquely software "engineering" way to do things. And it works, because our code is dispensable, zero-cost stuff.

This is exactly what he's talking about. It's not one-click

That was me replying to myself, trying to help others with a reasonably simply option to get a usable file.

It fails the "How many r's in ?" test.

I ask:

> how many r's in diminished

It answers:

> Diminished has 1 r.

I just tried this multiple times on low effort, it always replied 0. Tried a few times at medium effort, again it was correct.

were you using the old haiku?

Dear @stackoverflow team,

The links to the previous years' data (2024 and earlier) are all broken, and lead to a 404 not found.

People are richer than ever, the world is safer than ever, yet we're entering a demographic trend mirroring that of medieval europe.

People famously have different stated and revealed preferences. They claim one thing, and yes they fully believe it, even if the evidence is extremely strong to the contrary.

50% staying in the career means 50% reduction. That's not very optimistic at all!

It has less to do with skill than it does with luck now. AI has greatly evened the playing field between the less-skilled and the more-skilled.

You just contradicted yourself. Good developers know what impact they have that is not replaceable by AI. If you don't see that for yourself you're probably simply not a good engineer.

If your views changed that quickly, then I don't know what to say. Your priors definitely need adjusting, and perhaps consider the way you evaluate the future.

It was pretty clear even 2 years ago. Now it's happening right on schedule.
