The company I work for is multi-national/lingual but IT doesn’t have translators on staff. If it’s a big enough project (like millions) they’ll hire them but otherwise you are supposed to use Google Translate. Russian is one less language I have to worry about since the Ukraine invasion but I was translating about 40 UI texts and messages into Spanish today when I remembered Kennedy’s famous “Ich bin ein berliner” gaffe (and he had the best translation resources available in the State Department.) For all I know my Spanish users will be seeing messages saying something like “Fart loudly before pressing the ice cream”.

I have been trying to get you guys to learn Spanish for many years now, but nobody listened. So enjoy going viral when the media jumps all over the “Rash of farting in public by users of the El Jefe app tied back to Cambodian programmer” story.

Internet Explorer is set for discontinuation on June 15, 2022

Wow;time to switch back to Netscape browser.
-
Back in the 90’s I had a friend who bought Netscape in the store for $30 . I asked him why since it was a free download, just follow any link on the webpages. I guess for the $30 he got 24hr tech support.

I have not used IE in many years other than when my company had some dumbass application that only worked on IE. It’s been several years without dealing with that though. Weird thing though is my work computer still auto installs the link on the toolbar even after I tell it to get rid of that piece of shit. Glad to see it go.
-
I just checked my list of apps and don’t see IE listed. Either it’s already gone of it’s hidden.
GTFO

Does anyone do anything with Brave Rewards?

I think they might have replaced it with something called edge.
-
Yeah for most people, IE got uninstalled by MS sometime after Edge switched to the Chromium version. Some companies have still been running it (and paying MS extra money for support I believe) because they have old bespoke code that requires it. I’m pretty sure IE has actually been out of regular support for many years already. Maybe the June 15 date is MS saying to the laggards, enough is enough.

IT assholes are stealing our freedomz!!! Kind of an interesting debate on whether these companies can lock down your hardware basically in the name of security or whether you should have the ability to put whatever you want on there and end up spreading viruses all over the internet? There is so much theft and fraud out there now that it’s begging for a fix. Then you throw in the whole handing control over to big tech assholes though and it seems like viruses might be the preferable thing.
-
I already figured out, security is the ultimate virus.

As if that graphic were not bad enough in it’s primary warning, it suggests the end of tits as we know and love them as well.
I’d call that regressive!
