What privacy-friendly app can I install on my Fairphone to translate audio input and written text into English from other languages?
I need it for Icelandic, German, and Norwegian.
I'd like to avoid Google and its Big Tech kin.

Is it dangerous to use a rusting microwave?
Ours is rusting (and has been for some time), a friend offered us her spare one. Housemate says no because ours still works & rust isn't a problem.
Any evidence or info anyone can provide?
Asking Fedi cos my tutor doesn't know the answer to this:
It surprises me that a correlation coefficient of +/-0.5 or more is considered strong correlation in psychology. That seems like an awfully low bar for "strong" correlation. I would have assumed that +/-0.7 or more would be considered strong and +/-0.4 to +/-0.6 moderate.
Is there some reason that 0.5 was chosen as the bottom end of "strong"?
I just switched phone numbers on Signal. Since then, no one has been able to find me using my phone number and two who have not. My settings allow me to be found by my phone number, but do not let everyone see my phone number if they don't have it already.
Anyone have any idea what is happening? #AskFedi
Edit: no one can find me by my number
Edit: when I enabled "who can *see* your number," someone immediately found me by my number
Does anyone else have an issue with Mastodon automatically refreshing their timeline on mobile whenever their device's screen is unlocked?
I'm using Moshidon on Android but I suspect it may be a Mastodon issue. It's a right pain in the arse and I want to stop it so I can continue reading my timeline where I left off, not where it thinks I should.

Hello #Forkiverse adventurers! Welcome to the Fediverse! We are glad that you are here.
Probably now you have a very boring feed. This is how you moderate it. Go onto the live feed button and scroll. If there is someone interesting, follow them. You can unfollow them later if you like.
Then follow some hashtags. Use the number symbol and a word in the search bar and see if anyone is there, then follow the hashtag. Those posts will end up on your feed.

I've been thinking about how, at least the western world, operates a year counting system based on a religion not everyone follows, and less so year by year.
So, if we were to ditch the Christ was allegedly born numbering system, what scientific, rational system would we implement instead? This basically boils down to what year would we start at.
Famously UNIX starts its dates at Jan 1st 1970, so that's a candidate.
Otherwise zero could simply be the start of the next calendar year after the decision, minus numbers for preceding years.
Or we could choose a significant historical or scientific event as year zero, say the discovery of the general theory of relativity.
What else would make a good zero year?
For those who don't know, my (current) job is social media manager and my main client is @time_for_kindness who posts stories of kindness every single day to show that it's happening all the time in the world.

Question: Have there been any attempts to rigidly define the composition of a "Software Stack" (i.e. with less information content than the whole #SBOM)? Maybe with a machine-readable format? Even with a scanner??

i'm hoping to find a wheeled cart i can put my computer tower on with an upper surface i can put, for instance, a monitor on. i've included an example of what i am seeking, because i can find things that fit the bill, but i don't know what brands are any good.
does anyone have one they'd recommend?
i don't need built-in outlets, though i would not be opposed. i just want something well-built and sturdy that will suit my needs, which are:
