       @Gargron I'm seeing more and more "translations" that are just run through machines (DeepL etc.). Even reading the descriptions for those books (some of which are favorite comfort books) in "German" makes me shudder.It's not German. It's basically English dressed up as German.Those "translations" are a rip-off for everyone involved except the agencies doing the "translations". I've refused to read translations for years, but they are now becoming completely unreadable.

       Why in the world does every store, every service, every organization need an "app"?What is wrong with having a decent, functioning website?I do not want to read, buy, organize and research things in an "app". I want websites. I mean, why do we have those big screens, right?I hate, hate, HATE apps. I hate having to use my phone.Why is everyone trying to make me use a tiny screen, a crappy "keyboard" with minuscule keys, and insists that is progress?#Internet #Websites #Apps

       And well... I suppose that also answers my question:https://www.forbes.com/sites/joetoscano1/2026/03/06/google-just-patented-the-end-of-your-website/Apps might be more resistant to the lastest Google attack.

       Just sent this message to Canonical:"Hi,I was just about to install Kubuntu on my Win10 Machine to avoid Win11 and all the data stealing. However, I just read that you are now installing AI in the background of Ubuntu, and that is the end of that plan.I will pick another flavor. I want nothing to do with AI, I want decent programming and working machines. I do not trust AI as far as I can throw it, and you just lost someone who would have supported you forever.Thanks for nothing."#NoAI
