at least one person said that in Japan, foreigners should try to speak Japanese. some people might see a Japanese thread instance as a little piece of Japan. especially since English language education there is not on a high level.
and monolinguals outside the Anglosphere do sometimes complain that their languages are being replaced/invaded by English.
that said, i think fediverse users (if that's where you've been replying) are less xenophobic than general population.
just remember that in Japan if one wants to complain about another's behavior, it's common to go to one's home turf or filter bubble to do so rather than speaking to the offender directly.
I'm not sleeping well. i can't get my environment in order so i can't start anything. i can't clean up because much of the clutter are someone else's things. i can't ask them to clean or get permission to clean because it's too much anxiety.
i understand how phones in Faraday bags is good for privacy.
i don't really see the connection to autism. other than reducing the quantity/frequency of unproductive social interactions and social media interruptions, and general level of stimuli.
i also sense that the meme pic is ironic/sarcastic, but not sure how. at first glance it suggests to me that although life without smartphones /socialmedia is ostensibly more "human" as in face-to-face interactions, that life also has the potential for mob mentality and mass panic induced massacres.
Healthy Gamer GG made a video about how to manipulate/ration the tiny amount of dopamine we start the morning with. it's helped me several times so far.
In English speaking world (and other imperial languages), we do have a history of stereotyping Asian people + wisdom or mysticality. that should be avoided.
having said that, i have an acquaintance who personally got to know Shu. i was told that he's a very open person and a good listener. obviously those are top factors for good advice.
auto translated video titles make many videos seem like they're in my language (either of my 2 fluent languages) but in fact the video is not -> ai generated title fraud
auto generated translated audio track -> don't like dubs, from humans or not. if i watch a video in a language i don't understand, i want the original audio and subtitles. always.
auto generated subtitles appear even when there is no talking, i.e. during sound effects or music (even instrumental)
root causes:
ai translation is incompetent thus far and for the foreseeable future. (please don't mention "good" ai translation between western European languages. Compared to the rest of the world these may as well be slight accents of the same language, especially but not limited to Romance<-> Romance, Germanic<->Germanic, English<->Germanic/Romance)
YouTube corporation thinks multilingual audience don't exist, i.e. thinks everyone only wants audio/subtitles in the settings' selected 1 (one) language. no option to select multi languages.
ai translated audio track can only be disabled per video during playback. no option in settings screen to disable ai generated audio (on watcher side). maybe this is Freetube issue, not sure cuz i haven't watched YouTube directly in years.
so boring...
