Dear #GitHub, when I click on a link to an English language documentation page, I don't want to be automatically redirected to a machine generated German translation.

Yes, I have both enabled in my browser. Multi-lingual people are a thing. If I want a translation, I'll explicitly ask for it.

Every site whose product owner/manager insists on automatic translation should immediately fire them.

@larsmb come on youtube does the same shit. And github wants to play with them in the global #enshittificaton pool.

@gunstick @thunfisch Yeah, YT auto-translating titles of German language videos is just asinine.

You can tell this was designed by and for Americans.

@larsmb @gunstick @thunfisch and the more languages you speak the worse it gets, i am confortable with English and French and my native language is Portuguese, it is so annoying to see a terribly translated title for a video of a creator which we know didn't write it, I can't imagine how many people are put off from clicking those videos, not to mention the frustration of opening a video that we think is in a language we understand and it is not.
@SergioEduP @larsmb @gunstick @thunfisch ...and when you download a video for offline use (legitimate, I have Premium) it only contains the dubbed audio, which I detest.
Once again, piracy solves stupid corporate impositions. It should not be a problem for Google to allow people to disable the functionality.
@manux @larsmb @gunstick @thunfisch didn't even know that, I also have premium and still download using yt-dlp because I don't want to use their stupid app that kept on insisting on annoying features like auto play and lowering the quality to save on mobile data (even while on wifi).
@SergioEduP @manux @larsmb @thunfisch it's not to save mobile data, it's to save data in the google data centers!
@gunstick @manux @larsmb @thunfisch initially I also thought that that was the case, but then they started pushing so hard for auto play, by just puting a random video to play after the current ends and on the homepage on hover/scroll, wouldn't it be in their best interest (since I am paying for premium) to have me watch as little as possible while still paying? Cause I am pretty sure that I watch more than my subscription is netting them.
@SergioEduP @manux @larsmb @thunfisch indeed. No idea why the payment does not remove the #enshittificaton. Maybe my views will help the algorithm push videos? But even then autoplay still makes no sense,as that's not measuring what I like to view.
Do you also sometimes need to re-disable autoplay?
@gunstick @manux @larsmb @thunfisch i stopped using the app a while ago mostly because of that, I've been browsing youtube exclusively on the browser with an extension called unhooked that lets me turn off all of the features I dont want
