  • @sknob @paul aw Tweetbot! RIP. I was recently cleaning up my old Mac and I had to reluctantly delete it from there (the MacOS version). Longtime fan of Tapbots 🥲

  • @galaxis @Gargron Or Google. Last week I stumbled upon an Google admin interface where the checkbox with the English label "Enforcement" was translated in French with the equivalent of "Activation". It was about 2FA, and those both words doesn't mean at all the same thing in that context!

  • @Gargron I worked with subtitle translations for years... I need to comment on this!

    The main issue people working with machine translated subtitles is that people take models for translating things in a single modal – text – and applying to a multimodal media – video. Of course the results are horrible!

    There are research on improving that, sure, I did some, even, but even we are FAAAR from getting them any good. Translating "The nurse aided the doctor take care of the patient." to many languages require guessing the gender of three people! LLMs will often default to male, female and male, due to bias.

    But, the sad thing we have to admit: many works of art are so unpopular the only translations people will have are machine ones, from weird anime like Sazae-san, to Mastodon toots.

  • @AVincentInSpace it literally is haha. Fellowship was just as bad.

    I was still dialup back in those days so I’d order my bootleg DVDs from a dude in Hong Kong and I just about died laughing when I turned on subtitles randomly

  • @Gargron

    My main use case for machine translations is spot checking words in languages I don't know as well as I should.

    They are great for that.

  • @aeduna @Gargron From what I’ve heard it’s hit and miss.

    But I wouldn’t know, I’ve been reading mostly in English for at least 30 years. ;-)

    Hypothetical question. If you were to donate to #OpenBSD would you be better to donate directly to the OpenBSD project or to the OpenBSD Foundation ? Or possibly either as it really doesn't matter ?

    @stefano @ricardo the article mentioned the FreeBSD subreddit and The FreeBSD Forums. Yorick Peterse shared his post in the sub, where it was very well-received. Pictured: insights that are not visible to the public (I very rarely share such things, doing so seems harmless on this occasion). No mention of Discord, Twitter, or X. Also pictured: the wiki for FreeBSD Discord very recently cautioned that the FreeBSD Community Code of Conduct can not be enforced. I do not imagine that this caution relates to any recent misconduct there …<https://www.freebsd.org/internal/code-of-conduct/><https://wiki.freebsd.org/Discord/DiscordServer><https://yorickpeterse.com/>#FreeBSD #Reddit #forums #Discord #community #conduct #misconduct

    Installed 7.8 on an old 2x4 Xeon machine with a Radeon Nautilus GPU and KDE plasma. No sweat! The iwx0 wifi got an ac connection and managed approx 200Mbps down and 100Mbps up! Why did the Yubikey OTP stop working!? Why Theo! Why! Good grief I’m still in mourning, not even at the acceptance phase even…. #OpenBSD #YubiKey #RunBSD #RuinBSD #Frustration
