@thierna @tef also machine translation is only available between some languages - if you need a language that th machines don’t know it is likely worse than useless.

There is also a really dark pattern today where translations are shown before the original language - and it is really easy to not see that it is a translation (not just happening with - also with videos)

I hate when gmail or google search translates stuff before showing me the original (and also that multilingual search is bad)

@drmaddkap one of the coolest things I ever got to do with my mom and dad years ago before my dad died was at an event that I was able to invite my parents to join me at (I’m being a bit detail light because the event is mostly off the record)

At lunch one day we sat at a table with Buzz Aldrin. He was a fellow guest at the same event and we shared a lovely lunch with if memory serves him and the then ambassador to the US from Vietnam.

a cool experience and one I treasure sharing with my dad
