EtreCheck - claimed by ChatGPT to be "Open Source"

It is NOT, of course!

Has anyone explored this aspect of the product?

Seriously, you need professional help mate and as you seem to think you
are entitled to push your way into people lives, I may well look into
seeing how some sort of intervention can be arranged for you.

I've been doing that very thing for my elderly widowed friend who is now approaching her 'end of life' situation. I find it quite appalling that
there is so little help available.

Do you really not yet have a clue that EVERYONE here is completely sick
of your crazy hyperfocus on such things, this, unlike the things I know
to be important and that are actually impacting every living thing on
this planet.

Where else, apart from this tiny, weeny, part of the Internet, are you
trying to get your important message across?

GET HELP NOW (and this may come as a big surprise, NO level of
justification you or your ArtificialBrain come back with is of interest
to anyone here or anywhere else you are banned from).

Dear Tim

My post was about the factual status of EtreCheckrCOs licensing, not about anyonerCOs personal life.

ChatGPTrCOs claim that it was rCLopen sourcerCY was worth checking, and I provided a link so people could verify it for themselves.

If you donrCOt value that kind of fact-checking, thatrCOs your choice rCo but some of us do, and I have confidence in ChatGPTrCOs ability to assist in it.

Personal insults and attempts to shut down discussion donrCOt change the
facts.

Hello again, John

I noticed that you had made yet another revision to your software, so I decided to 'give it a whirl' so to speak!

I'm not sure what you have done, but I've now got LOTS of red showing
AND a new word too - "Killed"

I've attached the scan result just for your general interest.

I'm now going to restart my machine in 'safe' mode and then back to
normal again - to see if the red ink is removed!

HTH

David

Hi Tim,

IrCOm not going to engage with personal remarks rCo they donrCOt help answer the original point.

This thread was about a very specific, factual matter:

EtreCheck is not open source today.

The only public code is an old fork from when it was open source.

That code does not prove what the current closed-source version does.

If thererCOs reliable, independent verification of the current productrCOs behaviour, IrCOd welcome seeing it. ThatrCOs the only way cautious Mac users can make an informed decision.

If you have information on that, IrCOm listening.

God made a covenant with David, promising that his kingdom would last
forever. And yet after the reign of DavidrCOs son Solomon, the kingdom was divided, and within a few hundred years both the northern kingdom and
the southern kingdom were destroyed (2 Kings 17 and 25).

For those living in the generations of captivity that followed, GodrCOs promise to David must have seemed like a fairy tale. Their experience
held no evidence of any great Israelite kingdom or king on the rise.
Psalm 89, written during this time, begins with GodrCOs faithfulness but
ends with the peoplerCOs troubles: rCLLord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David? Remember, O Lord,
how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of
all the many nationsrCY (Psalm 89:49-50). Speaking into that context of distress and hopelessness, the prophets reminded the people, Wait a
minute! Though it doesnrCOt look like GodrCOs promise is still in effect,
you can be sure it is, because of His covenant love. ThererCOs more to
come. They spoke of the future:

For to us a child is born,

rCato us a son is given;

and the government shall be upon his shoulder,

rCaand his name shall be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

rCaEverlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and of peace

rCathere will be no end,

on the throne of David and over his kingdom,

rCato establish it and to uphold it

with justice and with righteousness

rCafrom this time forth and forevermore.

The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. (Isaiah 9:6-7)

There was still, said the prophets, another place, another name, another
rest, another kingdom, and another throne to come. The failures of GodrCOs people did not mean that God had forgotten His promise. It would all be fulfilled in Jesus.

History repeats itself. Whether because of disease, persecution,
politics or grief, we will at times find ourselves in that place of
confusion that Psalm 89 gives voice to. In such a time (which is really
any time before Jesus returns), we need prophetic voices to remind us of GodrCOs covenant faithfulnessrCothat our Lord reigns on His throne both now and forever. So today, take heart. Your failures do not mean that God
has forgotten His promise. There is more to come.

I guess you are still pissed-off with fact that I was 100% right - you
could *NOT* repair a water pump for the narrowboat!

WTF are you going on about now (oh, I don't what to know as it's all
BS)? Oh yes, more stuff you don't have a fucking clue about.

Thank you for confirming that you did, indeed, *FAIL* to repair a

It was VERY easy to repair, it just wasn't worth the risk on financial

way to evaluate.

Had it been my boat / pump I would likely had repaired it because repair
it was easy and about 1/3rd of the cost of a new pump.

You lie all the time as has been shown here over and over.

I don't lie -

You do, here, all the time and have been pulled up by many here over it,
many times.

You are sick, get help.

*YOU* are the one who *IS* actually sick - and who will die soon

And that really shows just how sick (in the head) you really are.

What YOU tried to tell us is that you didn't need an accumulator and

I was *NOT* wrong - on a natrrowboat it is not NEEDed!

Ok, I get how you think denying you are a sick liar make you think

Brilliant, a thread that has as many people saying that an accumulator
is needed (and why) as those who say they have 'managed' without ... and
with no mention of what type of pumps are being used in each instance.

So just as last time, here are the reasons why accumulators ARE fitted:

Now, you might not be able to see that for all the tabs (you don't know
how to close) for the forums you are banned from (for being an annoying
little prick and a complete waste of bandwidth, even in these high
bandwidth days!).

And oh look, specifically regarding narrowboats:

So, even when you have supposed to have lived on one, you know fuck all
about them (probably an alcohol fed hallucination that's now turned real

*COMPLETELY* unsuitable and unequipped for.

Is there *ANYONE* here who hasn't questioned that and your 'detective'
skills?

Get help.

T i m,

Your personal attacks add nothing to the technical discussion at hand.
If you want to debate EtreCheckrCOs security and trustworthiness, please
stick to facts and evidence rather than insults and ad hominem.

My original point remains:

Is there an independent, up-to-date analysis of the current EtreCheck build?

If you have such evidence, please share it. If not, then endless insults donrCOt contribute to the conversation.

*Still no evidence, Tim rCo just noise*!

Says the person who is convinced that EtreCheck is "malware" WITH ZERO

My irony detection meter just went off the scale.

*NOBODY* questioned the use of EtreCheck back in 2016!

And? NOBODY but you are questioning it now.

https://eclecticlight.co/2016/05/24/definitely-not-the-cat-the-sporadic-freezes-continue/

I was fascinated by the tool when first I used it in 2014.

Howard Oakley has never, as far as I'm aware, investigated the EtreCheck software itself - or its Developer. Do YOU know different?

So? Maybe - since he is a Mac software developer - he does not see a need to "investigate" (AKA stalk/harrass/libel/slander) the software or the author.

Your "original point" is pointless.

Is there an independent, up-to-date analysis of the current build of ANY software you use daily? Why are you SO OBSESSED with EtreCheck?

What about ClamXAV? Shouldn't you be yapping about that one too?

What about Thunderbird? MacOS? Safari?

And what if there WAS an independent, up-to-date analysis of the current build of EtreCheck? Would you believe it? Or would you assume that whoever did the "analysis" was also "in on the scam"?

Tim isn't the person to be asking for anything to do with code. FFS, Apd had to help him with what I called crayon level stuff. Tim didn't get the
comment; so FTR explained it in a very amusing manner and agreed with my synopsis of the difficulty level in what Tim was asking help with. Tim is a near useless fuckhead who continues to try and troll Mike E with 'you should be a vegan like me, save the planet like I do". Just ignore the fact Tim has been welding off and on for 50 years now; that was great for the environment, no question. You can read sarcasm right David? I'd hate for snit to 'quote
me' and not realize I was being very sarcastic as I wrote that. Snit gets easily confused enough as it is with what I write.

And! More recently (lol), Tim was pleased to tell me that the majority of
your cars have switched over from diesel and petrol to electric! Another win for the environment; said nobody with a fucking clue. You are quite a hypocrite yourself, David.. But, after learning those things about Tim, It's much more difficult to read his 'save the planet' posts without laughing.
FFS, the pollution that dude created with welding alone should give him the title of super fucking hypocrite. And I'm not even factoring in the power supply to run his welder(s); I seriously doubt all of the power sources he made use of was considered a green source of energy. And that's just one
hobby or skill he's got that I'm aware of that is by no means planet
friendly.

You are a fuckup. 100% a fuckup. The three of you together make for a merry crew of fuckups and people users. Even if the person(s) being used are okay with it, it doesn't detract in the slightest what you're doing. *using* them.

My original point remains:

Chatgpt assisted post? Why do you work so hard to emulate Snit, David?

Is there an independent, up-to-date analysis of the current EtreCheck
build?

Are you pretending that you and I didn't recently discuss this? The build I disected for the 2nd time was current at the time I made that post, and, it wasn't very long ago.

If you have such evidence, please share it.

Stop jerking people around, David. I've disected that program two times now.
I won't do it for a 3rd time. And, as a result of you playing stupid with chatgpt responses; I won't bother to disect other software you develop a
hinky about; because, I'm obviously wasting my time doing so. How do I know this? Your reply here tells me. It's in one ear and right out the other.
It's so bad, you don't recall having already been told it's clean (again).

Did you also forget that you tried to change the subject after my analysis into 'how do you know once it's installed that it doesn't download malware onto your machine?' - Remember now? I went further and asked why you didn't apply this same 'standard' to other companies who's products also update via the internet. Do you remember your answer to that question? I do. You
admitted it was because the author wouldn't interact with you directly. I can't blame them for making that decision.

I went the opposite route with you, and, that wasn't a good idea on my part.
I should have treated you just as he has the moment you went outside the
lines of BugHunter support. but, I humoured you instead. Again, a bad
decision in hindsight on my part. Had I told you to get fucked early on, or just ignored you, you probably wouldn't have continued with your nonsense towards me, and perhaps (although very unlikely) wouldn't have felt it necessary to try and dox me all over usenet to get my attention.

For future reference David, that route won't ever get you the help you were demanding. And you had no right to be demanding anything of me, I didn't owe you anything. I answered your questions and was as honest as one could possibly be with your questions. You amply showed how much you respected my honesty too, David. You still remind me that it was a mistake not telling
you to fuck off early on.
