Yaak is open source

This seems quite reasonable imo


just so u know, kakaotalk does exist in multiple languages. feels like this whole thread is based on a false assumption

Have you actually used it?

I used it earlier this year in Korea, although it did have a hard to get to setting to change your language, many many things were still in Korean.

It is very difficult to navigate, but I asked for help and a native was able to figure it out.

Still more usable than Google Maps though, which will only give you a not so good train schedule. No walking directions at all.


I've seen tons of American made apps from large companies that show bits of English here and there when switched to another language.

Localization is hard, even for companies that spend a lot of time and effort on it.

It isn't just string replacements!

That's interesting, because Google Maps here in Japan is absolutely fantastic: train schedules are always correct (and updated with delays etc.), walking directions are good, etc. I guess having a big office here in Tokyo is a big part of this.


I think your talking about a different app, KakaoMap, which you're right isn't totally localised. KakaoTalk is though.


happy to be proven wrong! Cheers

Perhaps because EU just passed a law for third party app stores?


EU is very large. If I were to believe your posts, Germany has achieved good protection of employees from their employers. Simply not true in ... many non-Germany EU countries.


1) That may be allowed in Germany. Definitely not in Poland and many other countries.

2) In my experience, not true. Most often an employee needs to get a pre-approval that often take too long. As a full time developer, there's difference between playing soccer and developing software.


While GE price has gone up in the last 2 years, your statement doesn't take account for a reverse split—a 1-for-8 stock split in 2021.

How does a reverse split work for holders of fewer shares than the ratio?


Usually cash for the remaining value at the split-stock price level


It is very bad. There's more money and fame to be made by taking these two extreme stances. The media and the general public is eating up this discourse, that are polarizing the society, instead of educating.

> What things?

There are helpful developments and applications that go unnoticed and unfunded. And there are actual dangerous AI practices right now. Instead we talk about hypotheticals.


Respectfully, I don't think it's AI hype that is "polarizing the society".


We should also name the artist, DAKD JUNG. He also sells audio visualizers based on this concept


Well now I want one, thanks a lot.
