You realize Lemmy is a network of federated servers right? Like, I’m not on the same website as you but you’re reading my message.

Why not both? I imagine he’d considered that already and probably found that it wouldn’t pan out but we don’t exactly know that.

I’d seen the former but not the latter. Despite it being slightly outdated it does have a good amount of valid domains.

Fuuuuuck this country is just gonna be a bunch of pasty-ass white people. Saying this as a white person.

Is that… a thing? Like is he shooting for the presidency?

You know, like two months ago everyone was crying that Democrats don’t do enough fighting back against Republicans and your comment has me thinking “well this is why they didn’t.”

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

I speak English natively and Spanish as a second language but most people I talk to speak English as a second language.

When I go back to my hometown I have a pretty noticeable accent and I tend to use a smaller vocabulary.

I just had to come back to say this is my favorite post on Lemmy in a long time. Hope you’re having a blast in the vortex.

That’s actually a very good point. Thanks!

Why is it always a temporary ruling? Then we never hear about it again.

I’m equally confused.

Dr. Phil should stay in Texas with the other racists.

And block it entirely via DNS and/or IP filtering. They’ll track you across the web even if you’re not a user.

Isn’t it obvious? I’m a bot and/or troll which is always what it means when someone posts something a bit late.

I’m not arguing that I am. I’m arguing that using an IP address to determine language settings is stupid, regardless of whether I’m using a VPN.

Doesn’t it cost less money to parse the header than to pay for an entire geolocation dataset?

The country-based shopping dilemma sounds tough to solve without a VPN. I think the explanation there is that because countries have different laws they might not be legally allowed to show some products.

I’m an American tech worker (not bro thankfully) and I’ve seen the poor translation issue firsthand: using Google Translate on the backend to transparently translate the website on the fly.

I also happen to be multilingual and it’s just unbearable watching some of this stuff play out. Storing translations and switching between them at a technical level isn’t really hard. I wish companies would invest in translation services instead of relying on Google or some other equally bad service.

Is user consent needed for the Accept-Language header? That would be kind of insane. I realize that it could be considered identifiable but that still feels strange to me.

I’m thinking mostly of localization, primarily language.

I’ve noticed that too, it’s so dumb especially when your browser’s language is set to one of them in the first place.
