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.

sorry to anyone if my grievance wasn’t clear.

the problem is:

1. 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
2. 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.
3. 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.

sorry if i wasn’t clear.

edit: added clarification in the main thread

it will most likely run steam, so it will not be any kind of steam deck “killer”. more like “sibling”.

I’m right there with you.

my parents came to USA before i was born and i was born here. i don’t know how cheetoh face would do it, but i have no doubt it would try its best to kick you and i both out, even if it’s obviously illegal.

unlike some others in the thread, i don’t think this is a trivial worry. I’ve also been silent on certain issues out if concern for my loved ones being targeted for surveillance or worse. i respect you for posting about this. I’m afraid too.

keep talking to trusted friends and take care of your mental health! touch grass, drink water, get the best quality of sleep you can.

by moving to a different employer, i guess.

did you mean by betraying coworkers? maybe some people like that idea. I’m strongly against it.

either way, i would avoid such a company.

seems like companies who know what proton is, would have no problem with it. some of their people would use it themselves.

companies who never heard of it wouldn’t have any bad impression about it.

if they never heard about it but are wary/scared of everything they never heard of, might not be safe to work there. that’s the kind of place that would test their workers’ loyalty randomly, and not reciprocate any loyalty they receive.

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.

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!
