Just curious, how do you translate things? I know Mozilla recently did some local translation stuff in-browser, but what about before? Is there a good competitor to Google Translate?

Let me just quote the top of this thread.

people please actually read the article not the headline; this is literally about accessibility improvements for blind and visually impaired people for generating alt text inside of documents and pdfs.

It doesn't just read the page to them, which is a solved problem, it generates descriptions when they're missing, making the web more accessible.

Nice for you, fuck blind people.

I use the overnight and next day delivery a lot, but when it goes wrong it's very frustrating, because there's seemingly nowhere else to buy an 8TB HDD in-person. Fry's closed down, Best Buy is garbage, etc.

We made this bed by giving Amazon all of our business and shutting down all their competitors. :-/

118 118 had great ads. My friend and I dressed as the 118 118 guys for a sports event at work. :-D

Well, I've set the reminder. There's no urgency to cancel with 6 months left on the clock.

I'm not sure that's true. There's a pause option and a cancel option. It sounds like canceling ends your benefits immediately, and the pause leaves them. I want to cancel, but at the right time.

Devices stop functioning eventually. You can't make Apple support your iPod.

Nah, I've paid for it and it seems there's no refund.

One day they'll want to stop maintaining two systems, and you'll either have to pay up or lose functionality completely.

For the first time in at least a decade of being a Prime member. I have set a reminder to cancel before it renews next time.

So many deliveries fail to be on time, I'm getting too many ads in my face when I use products I paid for (Fire TV auto-plays ads for content or cars or whatever now).

essteeyou , to Patient Gamers in Favourite patient modern game?

No Man's Sky dragged me back in again recently. There's an expedition going on for another few weeks that was lots of fun. I've also started a permadeath save that I'm really enjoying.

essteeyou , to Patient Gamers in hooooly shit! has anyone else played journey?

The soundtrack alone is worth playing the game. The incidental multiplayer where you can't communicate directly and you don't see the name of your friend is brilliant.

It's a game that will stay with you for a long time, sort of like Firewatch in that way.

Nah, everyone uses Slack or Teams or whatever. Look at Rockstar and the GTA6 leak, for example.
