Comment Auto translation is worse (Score 1) 100

Opening a French video out of the blue and hearing some weird English translation no one asked for instead of simply adding subtitles is such an awful example of American exceptionalism...
I'm not necessarily going to set my browser to every language I want to hear with subtitles, but auto-voice translation is just wrong.
If you managed to get to Youtube, you can read and choose to activate it if you want, but stop with this English-centric view.

Yep. In theory OVH are already pre-approved, at least for Quebec government projects, but I'm not aware of any projects using them (not that I'd know, I work mostly with non-profits, but we have a few small municipal projects too). OVH account managers can be helpful in providing info for bidding on contracts, certifications, stuff like that.

Comment More competition welcome (Score 4, Interesting) 90

I, for one, definitely welcome more competition. Nextcloud, LibreOffice and Thunderbird are good, but they require a lot of effort to switch.

On the other hand, business in Canada has been good. The place I work at has an influx of US organizations who do not want to host their data in the US either.

Comment Cryptographic signatures please? (Score 1) 52

For over a decade I've been wanting a web standard so news agencies and whoever could digitally sign their published articles so the users could trace the source back to its origin for content that needs to very trusted and verified...
Now it's probably too late with the current media landscape crumbling under the aggregators of this world, but still worth a try maybe?

Submission + - Slashdot Alum Samzenpus's Fractured Veil Hits Kickstarter

CmdrTaco writes: Long time Slashdot readers remember Samzenpus,who posted over 17,000 stories here, sadly crushing my record in the process! What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!
