The article’s not about plant-based “meat”, though. That’s the whole reason I read it b/c I buy a metric crap ton of Beyond/Impossible products and figured my stupid red state won’ t be far behind with similar BS legislation.

This is more like the Florida ban which is a handout to cattle farms.

Curious if this going to affect google results in Searx. Not sure how it works (scraping page, API, etc)

Not that, specifically, though it might be indirectly?

I’m basing it off of one of Gyles Brandreth’s yarns where he described how he dealt with abusive constituents when he was a MP.

Dear sir or madam:

Some crackpot has written me an abusive letter, and they’ve signed your name at the bottom. […]

Whether he came up with that or adapted it from something prior, I don’t know.

Standard reply:

Dear sir or madam:

Some crackpot has written me an abusive message, and it seems they used your account to send it. I’m replying to you as a courtesy in case you wish to take action against this lunatic.

Yeah, but he’s mean in Continuum lol. In Dark Matter he was probably the nicest of the 6 main characters.

+1 for referencing Continuum. “Canadian Sci-Fi starring Roger Cross” is probably one of my favorite sub-genres of it, and Continuum is at the top of that list (Dark Matter is a close second).

Yeah, I don’t get the hate and intentional division being sowed there.

I’m not a fan of Ubuntu since they went all Thanos Snap (the final straw was replacing deb packages in apt with snap stubs), but I can applaud that they’re using Linux.

Just seems like low effort, pointless gatekeeping to me.

Listening to whoever reads his eulogy will probably also keep people on edge.

Maybe native implementation could be something developers could work on in the future?

Can’t rule that out, but it would likely be optional at best.

LibreTranslate is pretty heavy to host, so I’m not sure how many instances would want to enable that. There are some hosted LibreTranslate instances, but I’m not sure how overloaded/performant they tend to be and/or if they’re suitable for a bunch of people to plug a Lemmy client into.

FWIW, I run a local LT service for myself, and it’s deployed via Docker. It’s not too difficult to setup, but yeah, you’ll need to be comfortable with Linux, Docker, and probably Nginx/Caddy/etc basics before tackling that.

Photon has a setting option to integrate LibreTranslate.

I haven’t played with it yet, but I would assume that does what you want. Other than third party clients or browser extensions offering translation capability, I don’t think there’s any native way to do that.
