I really wish there was a #mastodon plugin that could on-the-fly translate toots of a different language, allowing me to switch between "original" and "translated".
@spacekookie I dunno if you have the background to do the coding, but this would probably be pretty doable as a Greasemonkey user-script, assuming you have access to some translation service API.
@spacekookie I see your profile says Software Engineer now, cool! me too
@csaurus I write device drivers in C/C++. I'm not sure where I would start with anything JS related :P
@spacekookie Honestly, you should stick with that then. JS is nothing to envy, and I wish I could spend my days writing C, though C++ is terrifying/awful to me. Probably gets better with experience. Given a choice, I like to use languages like Haskell and Lisp.
@spacekookie I mean, not to imply you couldn't learn if you wanted to. I'm just saying Web Dev is a weird place :p
@csaurus Yea, I thought the same thing. I have a few friends who do webdev for a living and I do not envy them.
It's something I might want to play around with just for fun but it wouldn't be JS. And it would be something simpler than trying to hack into mastodons UI :P
@spacekookie JS is pretty nice for what it was actually made for: dynamically editing web-pages. Unfortunately most web-pages these days are massive bloated beasts. I need uMatrix to use the internet comfortably. It's also annoyed me when I see cool new project X which has nothing to do with the web, only to find out it's JS -.-
Userscripts aren't a bad way to play around with it though.
