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 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.

- Comment on Shuhei Yoshida is a master of giving advice | Kyle Bosman 4 weeks ago:
In English speaking world (and other imperial languages), we do have a history of stereotyping Asian people + wisdom or mysticality. that should be avoided.
having said that, i have an acquaintance who personally got to know Shu. i was told that he’s a very open person and a good listener. obviously those are top factors for good advice.
- Comment on Multilingual people all must have experienced YouTube's f**kery with auto translation. Still no workaround? 4 weeks ago:
sorry to anyone if my grievance wasn’t clear.
the problem is:
- auto translated video titles make many videos seem like they’re in my language (either of my 2 fluent languages) but in fact the video is not -> ai generated title fraud
- auto generated translated audio track -> don’t like dubs, from humans or not. if i watch a video in a language i don’t understand, i want the original audio and subtitles. always.
- auto generated subtitles appear even when there is no talking, i.e. during sound effects or music (even instrumental)
root causes:
- ai translation is incompetent thus far and for the foreseeable future. (please don’t mention “good” ai translation between western European languages. Compared to the rest of the world these may as well be slight accents of the same language, especially but not limited to Romance<-> Romance, Germanic<->Germanic, English<->Germanic/Romance)
- YouTube corporation thinks multilingual audience don’t exist, i.e. thinks everyone only wants audio/subtitles in the settings’ selected 1 (one) language. no option to select multi languages.
- ai translated audio track can only be disabled per video during playback. no option in settings screen to disable ai generated audio (on watcher side). maybe this is Freetube issue, not sure cuz i haven’t watched YouTube directly in years.

wow I’ve been waiting for this feature on smartphones… feels like been waiting for centuries!
thank you for bringing this up!
- Comment on Have you lost nostalgia for a generation of games? 5 weeks ago:
i agree. i think Sega more often tried to go for trends and edginess, or encouraged (passively or actively) devs to do so. so the games became total ancient history, emotion-wise. compared to Big N, whose titles became seen as classics and are often imitated.
on some level, it’s as simple as the colors being more primary and bright, versus secondary and dark. obviously not the only factor but an undeniable one.

what girl are you all talking about?
that spam is most likely from a NKorean crypto mining ransomware botnet troll farm.
seriously though, doesn’t it seem like probing the fediverse for spam/sockpuppet account countermeasure weaknesses?

i agree with the headline. strongly. didn’t read the article.

- Comment on Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for 1 month ago:
it can happen. especially in California, because they have the population size to motivate health providers and pharma companies to negotiate.
it’s not likely in the short term with the way the system is. and the problem which prevents it is not the economics nor legislative lack of will.
it’s the insurance companies’ lobbying and political campaign contributions. many many California legislators’ campaigns are funded by insurance companies. and historically there has been a lot of corruption in the state’s insurance regulator agency.
also the state’s population , for some reason, are easily swayed by political ads in certain issues. like the car-share/delivery gig drivers proposition. i think they flip flopped in successive referendums. apologies if in wrong in that.
- Comment on Is 17 and almost 20 wrong? 1 month ago:
the law is not banning all sex for <18. Notice how its <18 AND age difference.
same age pair , no matter how young, would not face any criminal charges. (one set of parents might file a lawsuit against the other parents, but that could happen at any age)
- Comment on Is 17 and almost 20 wrong? 1 month ago:
under 18 + 3 year age gap + sex = statutory rape in many US States and many countries
- Comment on I created an instance for a specific community 2 months ago:
considering this and @Die4Ever@programming.dev’s comment, could it incentivize certain types of prospective Admins to create community only instances, increasing attraction of more users to lemmy overall but disproportionally burden the user management workload on the traditional user+community instances?
- Comment on the person who abused(?) me (who I’m breaking free from and focusing on me💪) acted like this: is this common with certain mental health conditions? 2 months ago:
that sounds like a few different, but related sets of behaviors that u-tube psychologists regularly mention
- obsessive compulsiveness
- narcissism
- anxious attachment style
- equating mistakes/perfection ratio with p self-worth, worthiness to exist/to receive love
- Comment on Why doesn't phones numbers have a "DNS" servet so we can just type in words like we do with the internet? 2 months ago:
researchers actually succeeded in creating that phone system upgrade. the resulting communication system is the internet and world wide web.
hooray! you got what you wished for!
- Comment on You know what Mega Man needs? A gun and the face of a middle-aged smoker. 2 months ago:
Pardon me, but the character is correctly known as Rockman, and is correctly depicted only as a prepubescent human cannonball with one apocalyptic death-ray arm. 😂
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 months ago:
So my understanding from reading this (and other threads on Lemmy) is that:
-A majority of Lemmy users would rather the userbase remained small (in comparison to corporate social media and even compared to Mastodon). -And a small but vocal minority wants to grow Lemmy to the point of being at least one of the choices, if not the de facto preferred alternative, on the mind of most Redditors who are sick of Reddit.
Is that accurate?
