Halley Coplin pointed out that the search results for “Wikipedia API” aren’t great, so I had a look and now I’m intrigued by this “preview” for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API – I highly doubt that text shows up on the article…
(this is with all DuckDuckGo “AI” features disabled btw)
@LucasWerkmeister Oh, DuckDuckGo has been doing that for a while now, especially for Wikipedia articles. I think they’re getting it from Bing https://chaos.social/@pb/112812963612005171

@LucasWerkmeister Or rather, I find it especially noticeable for Wikipedia articles because the tone of the snippet is so obviously off.

dear #wmhack! in about 1½ hours (at 15:15 CEST), I’m doing a presentation about Cool New Things In JS + CSS (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423292) in space 5!
come join me to hear about loads of new JavaScript (and some CSS) features that we’re allowed to use in MediaWiki code more or less recently (since we dropped support for some older browsers)

I was very confused until I fortuitously had to move my laptop away from someone else’s for unrelated reasons and suddenly the keyboard and touchpad worked again
