I have heard good things about deepl as well. To your other point, Wikisource has a color-coded status for all pages (red - not proofread, yellow - proofread by 1 person, green - validated by another person). So some kind of status indicator like that could be good to show whether a translation has been checked or not.

weird online activism where people sit in their caves and scream at the shadows in front of them

It does get overwhelming when there are so many angry people on the internet having intense arguments about relatively trivial things and it seems like everything is bad, harmful, or offensive from some angle to someone. I basically try to not take everything on the internet personally. If there's someone online hating on e.g. a tv show that I like, I'm free to just disagree and keep enjoying it. If I'm not judging people for trivial things, then I don't have to worry about other people judging me for trivial things. I mean they might still judge but I don't have to care.

if you're gonna use machine translation, I would suggest using something that is meant for translation rather than ChatGPT, which may just be hallucinating (e.g., this HN thread)

the thing is, the US has pretty much always been a two-party state. after a term or two the other party will regain power, that's just the way it is. if the other guy winning will result in "catastrophe", what's the solution then? a one-party state? 🤔

wonder how big a deal the ⭐ → ❤️ thing will be. people were attached to the stars on old Twitter too. hopefully they can eventually come around to full emoji reactions like Misskey etc.

hmm yeah if all your tests are normal, it could be more of a circulation issue - Qigong exercises are really good for that - it's really easy and even 10 minutes feels great! (note: this is NOT related to the religious cult Falun Gong)

I've always been a really "cold" person and I recently found out that was hypothyroidism, so just spreading the word you're not actually supposed to be freezing all the time and if you are maybe get your thyroid checked

yeah, I know there is more to it, but doesn't it still ultimately boil down to that? even if "we" is small communities rather than individuals

"noise pollution" is a thing. and yeah people shouldn't have to tiptoe around but I don't feel too friendly to people's "right to make noise" when I'm suffering from migraines. We need to work on finding solutions that make our world more peaceful and less noisy in general

yeah that headline was phrased weirdly
