I'll third that (e)motion

edit: just remembered,

i haven't tried these yet but i think they might do the same with enough setup

https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io

https://github.com/huginn/huginn

I've heard that the later is used by journalists and osint investigators to gather & organize info automatically.

anyone have firsthand experience with either?

the rss app?

they would need to pair it with a search engine that offers custom rss feeds

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.

https://youtu.be/fXV89VQ5dJQ

at least one person said that in Japan, foreigners should try to speak Japanese. some people might see a Japanese ~~thread~~ instance 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.

i think OP is implying the extra time that will be needed on foss volunteers part to review the code at the time [edit: 'of'] release.

it's like pouring liquid into a flimsy plastic cup. drop by drop, the cup can handle it. pour a lot all at once and the cup may tip over and spill.

damn... "Luigi's Mansion" has a totally different ring nowadays.....

even using FreeTube, i have to change audio track and subtitle settings almost non-stop...

it's slightly less annoying to see wrong/unnecessary subtitles. but it's pretty confusing/tiring when the algorithm interprets sound effects or music (instrumental even) as Hindi or Uzbek or something and i have to turn off subs even if there is no talking.

audio on the other hand 🤬👿👹

even if I watch a video not in either of my 2 fluent languages, i don't ever want to hear any dubbed/ai-gen audio track.

any idea if this is in YouTube's issue tracker?

regardless, in the absence of fix from YouTube side, any clue if this can be improved on the client side?

PS - any responses telling me to just watch peertube instead will be downvoted and user will be blocked. fyi i don't reject watching peertube but my chosen antidote for the corporate streaming disease is 🏴‍☠️

 

for English i use heliboard. but i type in other languages also, and there are no practical choices in foss keyboards for those specific languages which also have the mainstream IME/key layout for my language (not qwerty).

fcitx provides some hope for the future but for now, it also doesn't have the IME/key layout for my language (only has qwerty). hopefully it can also have handwriting in the future somehow (if only via user-installed model/blob similar to heliboard glide typing).

anyway, I'm on Graphene OS. so i wondered if revoking network permission and setting gboard permanently to incognito (is permanent possible?) would suffice to cut off data collection?

edit: FYI the languages/key layouts i need are Japanese via 12-key flick and Cantonese via traditional Chinese handwriting input
