(english has had a lot more time to, ah, ignore and not deal with these issues. see e.g. AAVE)<br/><br/>non-mandarin varieties are even more of a mess. the written forms of these are not nearly as standardized or in common use (they all use chinese characters in written form, but there exist characters for many but not all of the words in these varieties)<br/><br/>cantonese is one of the major branches of chinese other than mandarin and is spoken in hong kong, macau, older immigrant communities in north america, etc. ime the typical convention for e.g. a news broadcast is that the anchor will use a very formal register of the language (highly influenced by the mandarin-like standard chinese) that i struggle to understand, while &#34;some guy they&#39;re interviewing&#34; will use the normal conversational register of the language. all of this will be subtitled in written standard chinese (which in the case of the &#34;some guy&#34; is effectively a translation). since i speak cantonese as a *heritage* first language, i&#39;m particularly attuned to this whole thing<br/><br/>so yeah, tl;dr languages and translations and localization are a very political project, and it probably helps to be consciously aware of what you&#39;re attempting to target 2026-10-11T13:43:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyke95k9hp2kxtq82dw3vv57cxgz3m9m9yyq6upm5es4x8nv788kqzyqe9s009q47hn4de73zqde60u7tmga7ff3znp5jwv496z6umt45yvel4knd hi, bit of an odd thing for this account<br/><br/>my father has vaguely come across A Guy who has a supply of decommissioned retired solar panels but nowhere to offload them<br/><br/>how do i get him and/or The Guy in contact with some community-scale projects that can make use of them (e.g. small-scale backyard/balcony/etc systems, not a scrapper)?<br/><br/>location: Silicon Valley, California, USA<br/><br/>🔁 appreciated<br/><br/>edit: you can start by DMing me on fedi, or email r@arcanenibble.com 2026-10-10T18:17:35Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgkmnj3wdwhsztn0unfg0uqfjkmv9fucuyqwqesdunmcsmpg5pn2czyqe9s009q47hn4de73zqde60u7tmga7ff3znp5jwv496z6umt45yvv8nr55 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdmyysxfrer3jpm6a2mxrs9juamgulpal6flcfa450g7vx5kn5mjssunj9q'>nevent1q…nj9q</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>oh also<br/><br/>get your language descriptions straight!<br/><br/>the &#34;v1&#34; and &#34;v2&#34; 中文 are both in simplified chinese<br/><br/>“台灣華語” is also an... interesting choice, especially for a _written_ document. good luck wading into _that_ political minefield 2026-10-10T12:47:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdmyysxfrer3jpm6a2mxrs9juamgulpal6flcfa450g7vx5kn5mjszyqe9s009q47hn4de73zqde60u7tmga7ff3znp5jwv496z6umt45yvvp49sq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs88gu326f0vg05jr7gwcdy0r0e6mlehzs6hwqddjs3kjx0qq0yejq6g29wv'>nevent1q…29wv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>opinion of a single random ABC (who doesn&#39;t have formal education in chinese, and whose preferred chinese language is cantonese):<br/><br/>i&#39;m not good enough at *reading* to have the stamina to do an actual audit, but the few parts i have managed to get through are in a sufficiently &#34;formal, educated&#34; register of the language that &#34;i just don&#39;t like it&#34;<br/><br/>i guess my question is: what is the purpose of a chinese _translation_ (not a localization) of a document that is already in a very american/english/western framing?

This has long been supported by Chrome, but Mozilla has not wanted it, at least by default. Fortunately, because add-ons are a thing (for now. make sure to keep fighting for this!), it&#39;s possible to change that!<br/><br/>Common reasons for wanting this include programming microcontrollers, 3d-printers, smartphone bootloaders, and similar &#34;physical computing&#34; projects.<br/><br/>This works on Windows, Linux, and macOS<br/><br/>You can get the source code here: <a href="https://github.com/ArcaneNibble/awawausb">https://github.com/ArcaneNibble/awawausb</a><br/><br/>In order to make this work, you will need to install a small program on your computer. This is explained in the README. You can then install the .xpi file (on the GitHub Releases page) into your browser (which was _just_ auto-approved while I was typing this announcement up).<br/><br/>Please boost (if you want), test, report bugs, etc. etc. (although do keep in mind that this code is entirely written by a single catgirl)<br/><br/>i think this is the perfect type of project to drop late on a sunday / very early on a monday?<br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://mastodon-data.content.as207960.net/media_attachments/files/116/434/172/014/901/094/original/8df883ef611439fe.mp4"></video><br/> 2026-04-20T00:34:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvhdww8lvkctvujnxt2njdhsrfjtza4z96mmfdfjwnfr8v82jr0qgzyqe9s009q47hn4de73zqde60u7tmga7ff3znp5jwv496z6umt45yvlsmm8e So, I recently saw some quiet discussion about a paper where researchers reverse-engineered and disclosed some attacks against PhotoDNA, the very-super-duper-secret algorithm used by tech megacorps to scan for illegal images.<br/><br/>They didn&#39;t make any code public, and so...

security than desktops, and secondly as a calculated strategic/political move to maximize reach/impact<br/><br/>mobile phones tend to have actual security boundaries between apps, whereas desktops traditionally do not and only have security boundaries between users (which isn&#39;t very useful on single-user *personal* computers, as this security model predates them)<br/><br/>like it or not, the balance between desktop/mobile traffic on the internet has completely flipped over towards mobile about a decade ago, so &#34;most users&#34;
