MODERATORS
I disagree. I still easily find new questions to ask, for example this one which is a nice demonstration of why StackOverflow is dying. Or this one (which also received 4 downvotes).
Even so, I definitely go to ChatGPT first now. Now that we finally have an alternative to the toxic downvotes/closing, why would I go there unless I absolutely need to?
That is a good example. If you aren't already aware you might be interested in ntfs-3g, the GPL-2.0 licensed ntfs driver - the function ntfs_upcase_table_build in libntfs-3g/unistr.c may be of some assistance
Oo thanks!
