coincidentally, i hate the phrase "think of it this way"
thanks for literally devaluing all the work of my fellow translators and i that was stolen by Google and Bing and all the other crawlers/thieves.
it's the same as with artists' work being stolen by Stupid Diffusion and the rest.
not mad at you of course. but calling it free was too good a match for devaluing to pass up.
YouTuber Takashii just uploaded a video of street interviews in Japan on the topic of what tourists should/shouldn't do in Japan.
at least one person said that in Japan, foreigners should try to speak Japanese. some people might see a Japanese ~~thread~~ instance as a little piece of Japan. especially since English language education there is not on a high level.
and monolinguals outside the Anglosphere do sometimes complain that their languages are being replaced/invaded by English.
that said, i think fediverse users (if that's where you've been replying) are less xenophobic than general population.
just remember that in Japan if one wants to complain about another's behavior, it's common to go to one's home turf or filter bubble to do so rather than speaking to the offender directly.
it's not any kind of iptv piracy or uploads of torrented dvr rips, etc.
i personally have no particular preference for legal streaming over other types but this happens to be completely legal.
celebrity guests and TV network presenters even mention TVer by name in the actual episodes, when they promote how to find more content.
some of the videos are embedded frames linked to the original tv networks own websites. like in USA and other countries, the tv networks' official sites have streaming episodes for free that become available after a certain delay post-broadcast. TVer just gathers them on 1 site.
unfortunately US doesn't have anything civilized and logical like that for tv (or most things. I'm USAmerican btw)
i think OP is implying the extra time that will be needed on foss volunteers part to review the code at the time [edit: 'of'] release.
it's like pouring liquid into a flimsy plastic cup. drop by drop, the cup can handle it. pour a lot all at once and the cup may tip over and spill.
I'm not sleeping well. i can't get my environment in order so i can't start anything. i can't clean up because much of the clutter are someone else's things. i can't ask them to clean or get permission to clean because it's too much anxiety.
i understand how phones in Faraday bags is good for privacy.
i don't really see the connection to autism. other than reducing the quantity/frequency of unproductive social interactions and social media interruptions, and general level of stimuli.
i also sense that the meme pic is ironic/sarcastic, but not sure how. at first glance it suggests to me that although life without smartphones /socialmedia is ostensibly more "human" as in face-to-face interactions, that life also has the potential for mob mentality and mass panic induced massacres.

Multilingual people all must have experienced YouTube's f**kery with auto translation. Still no workaround?

even using FreeTube, i have to change audio track and subtitle settings almost non-stop...
it's slightly less annoying to see wrong/unnecessary subtitles. but it's pretty confusing/tiring when the algorithm interprets sound effects or music (instrumental even) as Hindi or Uzbek or something and i have to turn off subs even if there is no talking.
audio on the other hand 🤬👿👹
even if I watch a video not in either of my 2 fluent languages, i don't ever want to hear any dubbed/ai-gen audio track.
any idea if this is in YouTube's issue tracker?
regardless, in the absence of fix from YouTube side, any clue if this can be improved on the client side?
PS - any responses telling me to just watch peertube instead will be downvoted and user will be blocked. fyi i don't reject watching peertube but my chosen antidote for the corporate streaming disease is 🏴☠️

correction: Briar chat desktop client "expired". No update timeline yet. (was: Briar chat desktop client "expired". Still an active project?)
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Sorry if this is not an acceptable topic. I will move/delete it if needed.
Just wondering if anyone knows the status of Briar desktop. I was using it to communicate between my devices when internet (WAN) is down, but the desktop client, both windows and linux, displayed an expiration warning for the past few months. I was trying to be patient and wait for a new version, or at least a "renewed" version, but the expiration date has passed and I've had to move to a different messenger.
I read an issue on the git page mentioning the reason for incorporating an expiration date. But I could not find mention on the internet of a timeline or even whether or not the desktop app would be continuing after expiration.
edit: Just saw their recent mastodon posts

the couple of times i checked fmhy, it seemed to have duplication of links. i assume because it's crowd-sourced?
for me, that made it feel like a labyrinth when looking for specific things.
also as far as i can discern, there is very little non-English content, or non-European-language content.
any tips for finding more Asian language contents in fmhy?
