Elon musk to his lawyers in his X office

-I am going to sue them !

-Sir, please, not again.

This won’t do, they don’t have a pun or funny reference in their URL!

Our sense of humour is worse than germans, what did you expect?

And it’s a government institution too. Those aren’t well known for their sense of humor.

If you’d like to requisition a sense of humour you’ll have to submit the proper forms in triplicate and wait 90 days while your request is processed.

And the papers needs to in the appropriate letterbox by 2023-09-20T16:00.

Government institutions are usually the joke themselves. 😎

Hat der Zipfelklatscher gerade gesagt wir wären nicht lustig?

Nicht zwingend. Nur unlustiger als die deutschen. Also abhängig vom Standpunkt. Wie lustig findest du die deutschen?

Kommt drauf an, Künstler oder Bevölkerung, ich vermute du meinst letzteres. Naja kommt auf die Region an. Es heißt nicht umsonst nordisch Kühl.

Looking forward to Firefox local translations, my French isn’t good enough

Edit: Also when they add all extensions, Imgur doesn’t load on mobile for me

Isn’t local translation already a thing? I had it for a while already

oh are you guys using the extension, I just got it

I think the news article I saw recently was talking about it being built in?

https://9to5linux.com/firefox-118-enters-beta-testing-with-the-built-in-translation-feature-for-websites

Probably. I installed it then forgot about it, didn’t have the need to remember it was an extension anyway.

It becoming built-in is perfect.

You can enable the built-in feature in about:config with browser.translations.enable

Imgur is spyware crap, since time I use FileCoffee, way better (host and share image, multimedia, videos, documents, PDF, presentations, text, apps, 100% free, encrypted, private, made in the EU), alternatively you can use Vgy.me (same, but only images, by default it delete the EXIF data, if exist).

Just to make you aware: Linguist is an add-on that allows you to change its settings to use the Bergamaot offline translator, making it totally private.

FF local translations is already there in the stable releases. Just update!

What version are you on? In particular I was hoping for a built in version on mobile since I can’t get the extension like on Desktop

Ah, I was talking about desktop. Afaik this is not yet on mobile.

I’m using Fennec BTW

Ah understandable, thank you though

The German government also has a Mastodon instance: https://social.bund.de

E.g. the German federal government (“Bundesregierung”) toots here: https://social.bund.de/@Bundesregierung

Dutch government has done a similar thing a few months ago, but so far only a couple of government institutions and officials have adopted it. I’m afraid that as long as there aren’t that many actual users, there’s little incentive to fully make the switch.

The real question is whether they’ll federate with NSFW subs.

How is it privacy friendly? Not trying to troll of anything, but people literally share all their likes/dislikes plainly with everyone, and deletes don’t have to actually be executed on other servers.

Great news!

I have one and the most important question, why exactly Mastodon? Not Friendica, pleroma or Misskey or something…

Most likely because out of those, Mastodon is the most well known.
