End of Japanese community at Mozilla due to the introduction of AI-based translation.
The community members have expressed disappointment and frustration that their long term volunteer efforts and local knowledge were being replaced by machine translation, which they felt did not match the quality of human provided support.
This is why Mozilla sucks so much, they are going crazy like rest of the industry.

Added screenshot in case Mozilla decided to remove it
@nixCraft It's endlessly frustrating to watch Mozilla sabotage themselves like this. Doubly so when Chromium is literally the only alternative.
@jevanmoss Meanwhile, I adore the Ladybug team. I know they're still light years away from a main stream browser (and so do they).
But they were approached by a company (some marketing "consent platform") and received sponsoring, realising they had the company's domain put on the make-shift ad-block list. And it remained on the list despite the sponsoring because in the words of the lead developer: "I would be a total dork if I removed them." That's literally the opposite of the Mozilla Foundation. @nixCraft

The team head specifically has since found some more holes to dig, too

@tofu @david_chisnall @jevanmoss @nixCraft Yup, agreed. This was totally unnecessary and frankly a dork move. No project is perfect though and just by endorsing one good move, I'm not endorsing all moves (hope that was clear from the start).

Do you mean the Ladybird browser team? The team who said that acknowledging the existence of women was political and had no place in their project?
