@adeelahmed I see someone's already recommended one of the two people I was going to suggest. So I'll just add the other, @dantheclamman - everyone needs a good clam now and then

@adeelahmed I am on mastodon.green, but then I don’t chat much about my scientific field. Make sure to use hash tags to pick up relevant discussions, then follow the relevant people where ever they are in the fediverse.

@adeelahmed Follow @minouette for her bios and art featuring scientists throughout history.
Her work is fantastic.

@adeelahmed @minea64 Also write a bio and you can use the #fedi22 directory to find your people, and for them to find you.

@paul on Bluesky. I had been testing Ice Cubes’ local timeline and I was wondering what he was up to… he has been posting there a lot about AI.
(Ivory is still my favorite app that I use daily - multiple times a day that is - so taking this opportunity to thank you and the Tapbots team for your amazing work on it) 🙏

@benroyce @Gargron back in the day I had a bootleg DVD of The Two Towers with the best subtitles China could do.
-
@Gargron In addition a lot of anglophone people speak only one language, so they've never been able to compare the translation of a book between two languages they speak.

I feel pretty dumb telling this to the master, but translating a literary work is much more than changing one word for another. Even it you keep all the meaning, it gets weird and doesn't flow; each language has its own rhythm and cadence. A good translator frequently has to completely rewrite a paragraph to keep the sense, the emotions and the flow of the story. Even worse, he needs to make it faithful to the original, which having intermediate versions can make harder.
I'm not a professional translator, but I have tried to translate some public domain stories, and found that automatic translation is a hindrance. I had to rewrite nearly all, looking always to the original version. It was too easy to drift far from it and get the text and the author absolutely distorted.
It is a work of art and love, not something a machine can do at all. Not even a part of it.

on the plus side, machine translation illuminated me as to the involvement of the presbyterian church in the famous movie "backstroke of the west"
-
@Gargron I am an anglophone, but read in French from time to time. I tend to have a machine translator nearby to augment my poor vocabulary. Last book I read it told me nineteenth century Breton people had horses hoofs on their feet. The actual translation should have been clogs.
This stuff is constant, that's just one I remember
