@pachli@mastodon.social To me the key distinction is not whether the code originated at Google, it is whether it locks in the user to Google. This is (almost, maybe completely) a function of whether it is under an open source license (a distinction you make elsewhere in the thread). @stonebear2@hachyderm.io

@soaproot@sfba.social I'm just wondering whether somebody-other-than-Google has an on-device translation engine that can be called? I get it that a lot of the library calls are going to be Googlish unless you go full-on Mobian or something, but translation is a touchy subject (one I'm not happy with _anybody_ off-device rn)... @pachli@mastodon.social
