Thank you too 👍

Yes, Linguist use Bergamot translator that is embedded in Firefox. But translation in Firefox in beta stage, it does not have a lot of features and does not support a lot of languages yet. Linguist is a full featured translator that support a lot of translation modules and even custom translators provided by users. So Firefox translation is just a subset of features from Linguist, like Firefox ads protection is just a small subset of features from uBlock Origin.

But Firefox translator are technological breakthrough anyway, so we appreciate it.

There is no matter a motivation of products that play against its users. For the business important only the fact the companies is not reliable.

Well, the Linguist is no have any public opinion. You are welcome to use the unique project who care about UX, and don’t care about political views of their users.

Sure, decision logs is just a step to fix a problems with decision making. Logs highlight a problems in decision making process and let you analyze a problems in your team. You still need an strong architect who may say “hey team, why your arguments so weak? it looks you are low skill engineers. make arguments more objective, or you will be fired” and then really fire weak engineers in team.

Exactly! I see how a mindset “we delivered (shit) quickly” successfully reproduces itself, over and over in a lot of companies.

I think the actual reason is that business want to make money on promises right here right now. Business promises a lot of features to investors give money, and then business implement a lot of (shit) features. And then they continue kinda “okay, features broken, give us more money and we will fix it”.

I hope you’re right. The more people will save it, the more chances we have to find the source code later, or even find the community who will maintain the fork.
