Mozilla destroys the 20-year-old volunteer community that handled Japanese localization and replaces it with a chatbot. It compounds this by deleting years of work with zero warning. Adding insult to insult, Mozilla then rolls a critical failure on “reading the room.”

Just subbed on podcast addict!
It’s grim, innit?
Oh look, my delivery from the Nightmare Factory arrived!
Seriously tho, thats not a “tendon,” that’s a nylon rope on a pulley, and thats not a robot, thats some kind of skinny feller in knitted gimp suit. This is just insulting.
Also, imagine the factorial number of germs it would absorb from scrubbing the toilet. You’d need to invent some kind of new branch of farticle physics to describe the bacterial load that thing would develop. Do you suppose that it takes off its own skin to wash ala Hooty from The Owl House?
