YouTube's AI "features" for localisation annoy me to no end. Especially since I can't turn them off. I try searching for videos about fabrics in Dutch, as I am specifically looking for a Dutch context, and am met with English-language videos I've already seen, instead now the titles are AI translated and the audio is dubbed with this ear-grating robotic voice. How do you intentionally make your own service worse

And here I was thinking quill making was some tradecraft taking years to master, akin to silversmithing or leathercraft. That looks so incredibly fun!

It was surprisingly easy! There is probably more to it, of course. But the geese have flown out for the winter, so big feathers are hard to find right now. I've just been enjoying writing with what I have

Very true. Few things are as awkward as having to explain to people that no, I will *not* be reinstalling my phone's factory ROM just to use whatsapp, and that they have to just call/sms me like back in the day. Even if I were to cave in, or get a dedicated "whatsapp phone", those messages sent to passed away family members, for example, are now lost. I might just get rid of my smartphone entirely...

Sounds very annoying to be banned from WhatsApp! In my country it’s basically essential

I just noticed it too, it does look a bit odd at first since I'm used to the light mode but it is good they have it now

Kate is such a lovely text editor. I wish I'd've known sooner how useful it is

I have only used VS Code very briefly in the past, so I wouldn't know if Kate has any advantages over VS Code. I think Kate might be lighter?

I was using the default text editor for GNOME as well LOL but the website became a tad too complicated to manage with just that

shareholders or something im not even sure if yt is owned by a human anymore
In *theory* i don’t mind dubbed videos, because i’m often watching some stuff in another window and not paying attention to the subtitles, but the implementation is just so weird and grating that it takes me out of it
@satyrwoud Very true. I recall seeing the Tom Scott video about dubbing/subtitling. There it was done entirely by humans. I was excited to see it on other videos, but was met instead with poor quality voices that are hard to listen to. It confused me so much the first time I encountered it, because I thought something was broken. It has just made the YT experience for multi-lingual users just a tad more annoying.
@anypup I wouldn't be surprised if the CEO is offloading all of his thinking work to LLMs. I could say the same for Proton's head guy as well. Too bad I spent a bunch of money and time switching over to their email service this year. (also thanks for being my 30th follower :))
I also tried looking into Tuta which I already kinda use and I was going to buy a subscription but then I looked deeper and AI coding is starting to be used slightly? Despite their stance they've made before I'm not sure what email I'll be willing to pay for now unfortunately even though I know some options.
