Ah yes, the anglocentrism of software development. I gave up on Google translate years ago because it clearly only catered to English speakers. The other way around was such ham fisted mistranslations with English syntax, it was basically useless.

I understand the ease from an admin POV, but besides locking users into a third party, corporate suite, everything UX about Office365 sucks balls.

You tried 1234 and password already, right?

So what you're saying is, vote Borg. Gotcha 👍

That is certainly an improvement over Signal, yeah.

Yeah, I'm not invested in either online opinion-haver, but have read the occasional tech post by both that made sense... in isolation from their idiosyncratic ickinesses.

I'm sure this "DeVault Report" may have truth to it, I was just turned off by the first, retaliatory paragraphs. Like, "we could've let you perv on minors, but then you went after our guy" vibes.

I only read up to the part where they pinned the Stallman Report on DeVault and then claimed that thing they just mentioned definitely had nothing to do with this hit piece, nope, nothing.

Need I read any further, i.e. does this have legs beyond "we dug up some dirt on this guy because he said bad things about our groupthink ringleader"?

Yeah, "Matrix as IRC" with general interest rooms is an unmonitored cesspool. "Matrix as IM" for staying in touch with mates is doing just fine.

"Slightly biased", yeah.

There is also MicroBlogPub, although development has wound down in the past year. I spun up a test instance before that, though, and it does what it says on the tin.

Buggers, removing features that are actually handy to the users 😶 Apologies for the snark, didn't know they'd done this.

Of late I've tried out the Translate You Android app. Not necessarily an endorsement of the app itself, but it offers a selection of 9 translator services, a few of which are libre.

Certainly LibreTranslate and ~~Lingva~~ [my bad, it's a GTranslate front-end] Apertium are open source, probably a few more on their list. Give them a try and see which works best for you!
