Oops, I did it again; recommended a #EuropeanAlternative just to cause it to enshittify days later. Sorry guys.

#DeepL is teaming up with Amazon, and of course they are in their good right to do that, but I'm still a bit disappointed learning that opting out or cancelling account involves sending emails back and forth.

Was great as long as it lasted though.

@oldrup @pernillet Everyone's allowed a mistake here and there - some more than others

@oldrup this is unbelievably dumb. I have written them hoping they will give us an option to say no to AWS, please to the same!

@oldrup do you know of a european alternative, or maybe open source alternative @jeppe

@pernillet @jeppe My next step is to give Jan another shot. An open source locally run AI app.

Paired with a smaller LLM created language with translation in mind I had good results, albeit it works best with a GPU.

On the web, Firefox built in *local* translation is also adequate for basic needs, example in the screenshot.
