Does the API allow to capture translation results in the background and present them in line in the app native UI?
I would love to have automatically generated translations directly below posts, with no need for a manual step.

@npub1yau…vjmf Have you seen that Apple added a Translation API?
It already came out with 17.4 according to documentation, but I myself saw no mention of it at the time.

I used no screen protector, I can just say that subjectively the recognition, inertia processing and possibly other parameters outside my technical knowledge made the Pixel 5 touch controls feel distinctly less fluid and fast.
Regarding GOS taking parts out, that mainly referred to everything Play services related, and I found dead ends in the Settings and overall navigation structure because of it. At the time GOS had no option to add back Play services sandboxed, or none that I saw anyway, I think they added that more recently.
I use iPads for very specific productivity apps and tasks, beginning with pen sketching in Freeform and Procreate, to CAD in Shapr3D and recording in GarageBand, Logic Pro after they added that last year. I also enjoy that I can occasionally play some console grade games like RE4 Remake, Alien: Isolation, Death Stranding, since I use no consoles or desktops. I support open source, at least unrestricted software installation in principle, but I know no electronics company that employs that to convincing or subjectively useful results.

Well, in my case Google sells no Pixel hardware in my country. I did make a rather cumbersome import of a Pixel 5 phone to test the GrapheneOS experience, and came away wholly dissatisfied. Touch response felt lacking and the Android UI settings and UI structure hardly made sense to me, particularly with all the parts Graphene takes out.
iPads offer two control schemes that really work for me, touch for browsing, Pencil for sketching, just the touch typing always feels so awkward with the larger form factor. Does newer Android, and GrapheneOS, do anything original to make touch typing on tablets more ergonomic?
Also only iPads can run my current main productivity apps, I have seen no convincing CAD, DAW or drawing apps for Android. Open to suggestions though.

2024-05-16 19:42:11

iPad with Smart Folio for light weight and touch and Pencil focus but awkward typing, or iPad with Magic Keyboard for more convenience but also weight and distraction away from the native control schemes?

Irrlicht

Wären wir doch nie in dieses Flugzeug gestiegen

Er fragt wohin wir gehen, und wann wir umkehren wollen
Ob wir hier bereits waren, und nach dem Grund unserer Reise
Ja, wenn ich nur wüsste, wie ich das beantworten soll
Wären wir doch nie in dieses Flugzeug gestiegen
Wären wir doch bloß nicht dem Irrlicht gefolgt
Wären wir doch nur bei den Anderen geblieben

It does make sense to moderate, or curate, at the relay level, I meant just relays sourcing muting data from clients for that purpose. I might underestimate bots. Still, in my mind, especially with the relay system at the network foundation, we could have room for other filtering practices than top down curation.

2023-08-16 20:13:11

- reply

Look, if you have direct experience with human moderation in the Fediverse, I should likely defer to your opinion there. However, may I still suggest, that however much network tools can streamline human moderation, it will always demand unreasonable amounts of time and subjectivity to execute just by nature.
What speaks against putting the responsibility of selection on the end user instead, like in everyday life?
Or at least aggregating data on content hiding and user muting from individual users, instead of instating a higher rank authority.

2023-08-16 20:00:29

Engagement metrics, and the bias towards controversy, has messed up the conventional platforms. Now you want to introduce that to Nostr?

2023-08-16 19:56:33

- reply

Moderation by human moderator takes too much time, and will invariably only result in infighting on another hierarchical level. Moderation by AI might speed up the process, but will make it, I hope I use the term correctly, an unpredictable black box process, that will require time consuming human interventions. I suggest to do some basic filtering by metadata, and otherwise let it sort itself out by individual user attention.

- I think Nostr will lose to X, Threads or even Mastodon before Bluesky, which looks like the most unattractive combination of tradeoffs at the moment.
- Worrying about follower counts seems more like a misguided behavioral pattern from centralized social media, than something technological to fix on the network side.
- At least with my relay selection, I see less than Five notes from this user, two of them simple, identical references to a YT video, hardly consistent with the elaborate efforts he describes having put into Nostr.
