Agree.

I also think a federated wiki is a great idea.

I think the way to do that is: instead of having separate realities/universes linked together by search and federation, try to unite those universes into a shared multiverse, to the greatest possible.

In other words

• ❌ merely give all federated users access to the same articles
• ✅ automatically link and embed similar articles into each other by default (collapsed, but expandable). similarity can be determined by authors'/contributors' intentional citations, by instance owners' filter rules, by LLM, etc.

of course, there may be attempts to obfuscate relatedness, astroturfing, brigading, whatnot. I wonder if its possible to visualize voting results for each duplicated/linked article along with the originating instance. I think this would function as a pseudo version of 'community fact-checking'. Maybe a better name would be 'reality-checking' or 'sanity-checking' or whatever.

so boring...

coincidentally, i hate the phrase "think of it this way"

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.

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.....

In English speaking world (and other imperial languages), we do have a history of stereotyping Asian people + wisdom or mysticality. that should be avoided.

having said that, i have an acquaintance who personally got to know Shu. i was told that he's a very open person and a good listener. obviously those are top factors for good advice.

but not Japanese culture... artwork... copyright....

even when Ubi were confronted with their infringement, they simply said they were sorry but they won't undo any of it.....

only because the trademark owner wasn't a huge corporation with 1000s of lawyers....

that's just uncivilized. never forgiving that.

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

anyone here ever use Winny (the Japanese predecessor?/copycat? of winmx) or "Share" (also Japanese p2p)?

any news about their developers?

wow I've been waiting for this feature on smartphones.... feels like been waiting for centuries!

thank you for bringing this up!

my filter (keyword filter) for multibyte characters language (Japanese) is not working also. no matter how much or how little of the text i use as a filter.
