Google's Live Translation Fails of 2025
At both Google I/O and Made By Google last year, Google attempted to show off for the umpteenth time their spanking new live translation feature. This time, the Phone by Google app now repeats what you said in another language in your voice, but only if you live in the United States. Unfortunately,

It's crazy that people are accusing Google of invading your privacy by reading your RCS messages... on a work device.
When there's an MDM on a company phone, all privacy bets are off. Bet your IT department has tons of fun with harassment allegations or illicit material sent via company phone.

@signal.org continues to take Ls on the desktop when they chose to create an AppImage from scratch and doesn't work everywhere instead of supporting the already built Flatpak that works everywhere. I'd rather Signal discontinues the desktop app and making the service a web app.

Valve says it's working on anti-cheat compatibility issues for online games on SteamOS.
A Valve developer remarked that the company has opened up its platform APIs for developers to work with.
They caveated that "game developers will have to decide at their own rhythm" to build support, however.

I Use F-Droid and Hate It.
F-Droid is one of the most popular alternative app stores on Android. It also has a lot of problems and historical hurt, because they prioritize their philosophies over the well-being of their developers.

It's so easy to paint a corporation as a bad guy when the main ffmpeg Twitter goes on a power trip blaming Google and praises assembly code like it's a badge of honor. Yet the real people who fix problems get no attention.
