End of Japanese community at Mozilla due to the introduction of AI-based translation.

The community members have expressed disappointment and frustration that their long term volunteer efforts and local knowledge were being replaced by machine translation, which they felt did not match the quality of human provided support.

This is why Mozilla sucks so much, they are going crazy like rest of the industry.

Added screenshot in case Mozilla decided to remove it

A screenshot of support.mozilla.org Forum name: SUMO community discussions Title: End of Japanese community Text by user named marsf that reads: Hi, I am a locale leader of SUMO Japanese community. I have contributed to the Support over 20 years, before the beginning of support.mozilla.org. Today, November 4, we decided to end our SUMO Japanese community. In October 22, the sumobot was introduced to Japanese KB articles. I cannot accept its behavior and no words. * It doesn't follow our translation guidelines. * It doesn't respect current localization for Japanese users, so they were lost. * It approves its direct English MT immediately for All archived KB articles. * It approves only in 72 hours after its updates, so we lost our work to train new contributors. * It has been working now without our acceptance, without controls, without communications. * Over 300 Knowledge Base articles are overridden by sumobot. They are all happened on the product server, not on staging server. I understand that this is mass destruction of our work and explicit violation to the Mozilla mission, allowed officially. Therefore, I (marsf) declare: * I quit to contribute to support.mozilla.org. * I prohibit to use all my translation as learning data for SUMO bot and AIs. * I request to remove all my translation from learned data of SUMO AIs. However, individual Japanese contributors may want to work in their responsibility. It is their choice, we don't care nor support. Bye.

@bitbraindev The script gets all release tags, then for each release it iterates over all source code files at that time and pipes them trough the pmccabe tool and counts the sizes of the different buckets and generates a CSV file with all that. In a final step gnuplot converts the data into a graph.

The most thought provoking article I have read this week:

A Norwegian bus company wants to know if their buses could be abused by China in the case of war.

So they drive two buses deep into a limestone mine to isolate them from the internet and forensically investigate how they work.

In the mine, investigators discover a Chinese kill switch which could destroy all Chinese buses.

In Denmark, that is 57 percent of the bus fleet.

The World Bank’s latest data shows a quiet global triumph: 93% of people aged 15 to 24 can now read and write, up from 87% in 2000. In many regions, including East Asia, Latin America, and Central Europe, youth literacy has reached or neared universal levels, marking one of the most successful, least reported stories in development. data.worldbank.org/indicator/S…

It has occurred to me that, if Unix didn't provide sbrk, you could implement it in terms of exec.

1. Create a file.
2. Copy your current core image into it.
3. Save the stack contents as part of the data area.
4. Adjust the data size up.
5. Adjust the entry point to resume at a stack restore routine.
6. exec the file.

(Ignoring close-on-exec files for the moment)

Konečně se můžu pochlubit s něčím, na čem ve volných chvílích dělám už od 2024.

"Blaničtí roboti" jsou první český mecha komiks. (Aspoň myslím.) Něco mezi Gundam a Rychlými šípy.

youtube.com/watch?v=w5ZBQgdha2…

Píšu to já, Petr Šrédl kreslí.

Teď jde o to, jestli to bude bavit taky někoho jinýho. První díl je k přečtení online zdarma, panel po panelu. Prosím čtěte a komentujte — a pokud možno sdílejte!

Lately I've been seeing a lot of lacking alt text on audio posts on mastodon. Guys, audio alt text is just as important as image alt text. Just as we preach at people posting images that "a diagram" or "a funny meme" isn't helpful, "a piece of music" or "strange noises" aren't helpful audio alt texts. Describe the audio, not just the basic outline of what it is. We can't yell at image posters to do something we're not even doing ourselves. Just as image alt texts help more than blind people, audio alt texts help more than deaf people. Please try.

Wanna know something extremely creepy?

A friend of mine was recently traveling in europe.

She got back to the US this week, and sees a LinkedIn invite from someone who she doesn’t know (not unusual) but lives in the area she just visited (more unusual).

Further investigation revealed it was the border control guy who checked her passport at the airport.

NO. NO NO NO. Not at all. Do not.

It’s a common belief that many people are pretending to be sick or disabled to gain social or financial advantages, but the truth is that most people are actually trying to appear healthier and more capable than they truly are, as society expects.

The surprising twist is that people aren’t faking illness or disability; they’re faking wellness and functioning.

Those aren't exclusive, you can fake both in different contexts and situations.

Plenty of blind people (this is the community I'm part of) will claim to be much less independent than they are when applying for government support, while doing the exact opposite when applying for a job. This is nothing unusual in the disabled community.

Development on External Data Checker had been paused for quite some time after one of the maintainers became inactive on GitHub, and I suspect that Endless no longer uses it extensively, internally.

Over the past 8-9 months, I’ve tried to revive some of it by adding some new features, fixing some old bugs, and merging people's PRs that went stale for years. It currently means I'm effectively "maintaining" / "helping" (whatever) yet another thing but hopefully it invites some more contributions.

In the latest iteration of things, we should soon (TM) get support for updating git submodules in it (maybe even runtimes).

Check for updates to shared-modules submodule

This is only loosely part of manifest IOW it's tracked externally, then included into manfiest. It would be great to have it automatically updated as well though to make sure everyone gets to benef...

You can convert videos with better file names using converter presets.
To access the preset dialog, go to the convert menu and press period (.). In the dialog, there will be a list of presets with names like [default] and [last used].
To create a new preset, for example for YouTube, select an existing one such as [default], then right click it and select duplicate, then you can select the duplicated preset and press f2 to rename it.
After that, click the load button and you'll be editing the preset. The most important thing for YouTube is to make sure the destination is File name pattern: %title%.

I like how the accordionist plays an obvious wrong note at 7:26, but they were about two-thirds of the way through the song at that point, and studio time and recording tape were expensive, so they decided to just keep going. That kind of "happy little accident" would never be allowed in today's highly-edited music. youtube.com/watch?v=NgR5wF_NMB…
