A New Decky Loader Plugin Can Translate Whatever Is On Screen

Seems useful at times, I had a game start up in Chinese recently, and had to use Google translate from my phone camera to figure out how to change it back to English.

I've also run into games on steam that specifically failed to identify my language on Linux. I can generally tell what options I need to pick to change a language back to English, but some langauges like Chinese and Korean are difficult to to navigate.

Hm, I see. Like old Japan exclusive titles. Haven't thought about that.

A bit weird to implement it as Decky plugin then, because basically everything on Steam is available in English.

Yeah, it's definitely more for a specific groups of people, such as those who play old untranslated emulated titles and such.

No you do not wish me well you lying ass *removed*

No its not OK you deserve whatever you get with your data sharing bullshit

Ooh look I'm so stable and secure (youre not or you could read shit like that without breaking) and youre so mad someone called you out so well you decided to fuck with them all polite like that makes you better then everyone else

Your self-aggrandizing award is in the mail and should be there in 3-5 business days 👍

I get it, your bummed you spent at least 5 hours hunting and pecking your brilliant self righteous response. Only to have the person it's aimed at not even read it.

But that's no reason to have a meltdown publicly on the internet.

I wish you well!

Really not surprising but ofc you wouldn't

Read/hear words? About ME? That aren't in blind agreement? Not gonna do that shit

Well its up there and its scathing but thats how you stay ignorant you got that down pat 😎

Clearly self-reflection isn't something you can handle so I wouldn't, for your psychological wellbeing and all

And why did that change your mind?

The abuses they did do with it and could have done with your data before ai weren't enough to concern you but amalgamating that data with countless others to have it abused that way is too much for you? Even tho they literally already were doing that exact thing before AI was available with basic data science?

Using your data to take advantage of every human weakness they could figure out was already happening but NOW your not OK with it? Like has it made you rethink everything or just nah turn you off now cause your ingroup doesnt approve of it coward bullshit?

The law could have changed at any time to turn you into a criminal based on the public data you intentionally gave away. They could have arrested you for supporting the wrong cause, emailing the wrong person or exploring the political ideas they didnt like or arrested people in your network because it gave them access to THEIR data as well (google android push notifications, messages, emails stored on their networks like your friends replys, Facebook messages, snapchats, all for sale if they wanted it to be)

And its not sounding like your reflecting on it so much as your simply moving on from being a blissfully ignorant, happy and from the sounds of the comment, enthusiastically willing participant in it all despite all the evidence to the contrary the entire time? That's fucked up beyond the usual

Like its already fucked. We needed you to not sell us all out cause your ingroup was into that shit at the time and just changing teams suddenly doesn't mean your not gonna fall for it all over next time. (unless you know WHY it was fucked up to begin and this doesnt sound like you know that)

As someone who's never had a problem "being the product" I've since changed my tune thanks to AI.

The less software I have spying on me, the better.

(I'm sure they're not straight up spying but you have to be screen grabbing / recording to make this work)

This would be cool for being able to read random ass kanji in the background. Or figuring out if it's actually kanji or some made-up bullshit that simply looks like kanji.

Seems neat, though I don't have a use for it.

It'd be much more helpful to me if it just used those OCR boxes to provide mouse-over dictionary lookups via yomitan rather than a translation.

Right now I use Google Lens for that, but that means I'm sharing selected text into a dictionary app or chatgpt, or gambling on Google search just giving me the JP->EN definition with no prompting besides the word itself.
