CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

It really depends how much people are willing to (or enjoy) tinkering. My motivation was to stop using MS products so I went for what looked easiest to learn, but teen me would've swapped distros every other month and sunk a million hours customizing each one. tbh, I kinda want to...

For sure! Cinnamon is elegant, beginner friendly and lightweight, easy choice for anyone wanting a painless transition from Windows. I've also tried Manjaro, pretty good for older machines. Counterpoint: neither are amazing for gaming but I barely play on PC anymore ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

It took a while but I am finally free of Windows on my personal laptop. No more dual boot, now running Linux Mint only. โœจ

Quoted from Reddit: "Translation for a game like this is not a big project. There's like a light novel worth of text. One person could do it in a week. They should just have it redone. It wouldn't cost much. 

I'm a professional Japanese translator. Hollow Knight had 20000 words of straightforward dialogue. That's about 40 pages. Even if Silksong has twice as much, that's possible to do in a day."

Sometimes I wonder why people say Reddit is a cesspool.

Then I read things like this, and I get it.

AI Killed My Job: Translators Few industries have been hit by AI as hard as translation. Rates are plummeting. Work is drying up. Translators are considering abandoning the field, or bankruptcy. These are their stories.

Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality.

This is how AI is killing translation work:

Fact of life, you will feel nostalgic for just about anything the older you get, and everything was better when you were younger

It's not that I find Bsky threatening or inhospitable. It's the internet at large. You have to be brave to share any kind of introspection or random anecdote on here nowadays.

โ€œAI will help with pointless interactions like item descriptions and NPC barksโ€ if itโ€™s pointless it shouldnโ€™t be in the game. If thereโ€™s nothing interesting about something, cut it

There's no anomaly here. People, globally, volunteer their time to powerful public goods the moment they're not actively terrified that they'll lose their home, their food, and their freedom. Which means that capitalism requires us all to live in fear, always - because it can't compete with free.

Mucho รกnimo, espero que te libres de esta enรฉsima criba (si es lo que quieres, porque una ya se plantea cosas). Efectivamente, no hay derecho. Y todo para que los accionistas den palmas.
