Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots) (www.quippd.com)

TL;DR: Mozilla is killing localization on Support Mozilla, overwriting articles written by humans with machine generated translations. Although Mozilla knows that their AI doesn’t localize or adhere to style guides, Mozilla is going live with it anyway. I thank locale leaders and localizers for their tireless efforts. Locale leaders seem to be obviated by AI, and Mozilla has nothing to say about it.

So they're duplicating effort to give us a worse outcome? Jesus Christ, a third browser option can't get here soon enough.

I've been using Mozilla Firefox (and Thunderbird) since Phoenix 0.5 in 2002. Before that I still using Netscape Navigator 4.x It was breadth of fresh air. I even contributed bug reports and helped manage one of third party theme forums back then. Have occasionally donated to them throughout the last 20 years.

It's sad how they've basically become a wannabee American oligarchic technology organization.

It says a lot of about the caustic effects of American business culture.
