Not sure why Youtube only has auto-generated Japanese captions for a video recorded in English, but thankfully they have an option to auto-translate the Japanese captions back into English.

I'm delighted to see that machine learning is able to recognize speech, translate it to Japanese, and then translate it back to English without losing anything in the process!

I can't stop falling in love with Ubuntu Touch. I use it daily since April now on my Fairphone 2. I hope that now that the merge of the recent Unity8 and Mir is done, they will focus more on stability and solve some bugs though.

It would be nice just to be able to take a toot off my timeline.

From time to time people who I'd otherwise quite enjoy following will just have a bit of a rant, or get themselves involved in drama, or won't shut up about drama; which is fine, but it would be cool if I could swipe it away and not have to pay it any mind at all.

I usually unfollow/mute people who regularly get into it, but a lot of nice people are set off by something once in a blue moon.

@naukarshah This article explains pretty much everything about mastodon.

Planning to collect more yarrow today and make a second round of yarrow tincture, dry some tea...
Considering yarrow oil as well, but then I barely ever use oils... Anything else I should try?
