What a bunch of cheap parasitic bastards, like it ubtil you have to give something in return, incredible.

They have also destroyed rent in lots of places. Here in Spain prices have more than doubled for rent since AirBnB is a thing. Landlords even tell you that they get way more money from airbnb, so supply and demand and all that.

That is not necesarily true. An admin of an instance definitely can sell info. Same for respecting privacy. You do have more freedom though, since it's federated, you can research whichever server you think aligns with your views/needs and choose that one while still interacting with the rest.

I have worked both as a professional translator in works not related to software and as a software developer, and also have participaded on open source public project translated by the community with weblate.

There is NO WAY at all that the AI translations are worse. DeepL has been powering your human translators pretty much since it released, and LLMs are way better at translating than the average Joe.

Most of those weblate managed translations I mentioned were absolute dogshit. Done by humans, done with passion and good intention (most of the time, some of the languages we did know less about had stuff that had nothing to do with the original texts).

Like, people assume since they speak a language that they are able to translate that language and that is not true.

Unless Mozilla had full time, proper translators working, the quality con only increase by using AI.

And if they did, they can sack most of the team, leave one per language, and have them review the translations, and they would save massive amounts of money. And like it or not, open source needs money to run.

I don't really know for assembly line and the atomic bomb, but for internet and AI the first thing we did is porn.

Do you tip for the service for customer tech support or similar customer facing industries as well?

I work IT... how exactly are they blocking wireguard?

Edit: Okay, I did the search, and as I guessed, they do not. Users seem to report UDP blocking and throttling in general, not wireguard (I'm not sure that would be possible). It's not even particularly confirmed though.

If you read the article, it does not say there has been a second wave or something targetting LGTBQ+ games. It is one person saying their comic was SFW and was delisted.

We should definitely fight back regardless, don't get me wrong, but as of yet there has not been LGBTQ+ targetting.

The author of the SFW comic should contact itchio and ask why their game was deindexed, since itch did MASSIVE removal of all "adult" and NSFW content beyond what their payment processors asked, as to evade any issue and then reindex according to them.

Again, we should be alert, and we should monitor their firther actions closely, but it's not time yet to cry wolf with the LGBTQ+ targetting.

You an make a car super safe, and if someone cuts the brakes cable it will not slow.

As long as the testimony is not from one of the involved parties, yes, eyewitness is evidence. The lowest tier of evidence, mind you, since it has been proven quite unreliable, even with cross-examinstion and the likes (sorry if it's not the word, not a native English speaker).

But yeah, if it's not the accusing party, or any party with interests in the matter, and it is proven there is no coercion or personal interest, it should count as evidence.

Yeah, and inoccent until proven guilty. We should not believe absolutely anyone, regardless of gender, making any accusation.

Every accusation should be thoroughly investigated, though.

It happened with Neil Gaiman recently. Many accusations, no sentence for him (at least as of yet), he denies the claims.

Yet, massive lost to reputation, projects cancelled, etc.

If he's found guilty, all the shame and consecuences to him, but society should stop acting like people talking or a "hyper graphical article" makes things true.

We live in the age of quick opinions, echo chambers, and the like.
