Techrights-secis there a better alternative to Google Translate which can reveive URLs?Jun 20 10:04
schestowitzI wondered the same recently (did some work for a relative in his 90s), but I know of none. Not been following babelfish for ages...Jun 20 10:04
Techrights-secOk. Jun 20 10:06
Techrights-secI saw one alternative mentioned somewhere but when I checked it out, theJun 20 10:06
Techrights-secsite was only empty marketing and was like a brochure not a service.Jun 20 10:06
schestowitzwe also need alt for google newsJun 20 10:06
Techrights-secYes.  It has gone (further) to crap lately.  Some of its RSS feeds have beenJun 20 10:07
Techrights-secdying and a manual (or bookmarked) search on the same keyword resultsJun 20 10:07
Techrights-seconly in far-right whackdoodlery turning up in the search results.Jun 20 10:07
schestowitzfor politics, that's why I deleted those feedsJun 20 10:07
Techrights-secA political slant is tolerable if they would stick to facts but thoseJun 20 10:08
Techrights-secI've seen in the search results have fastidiously avoided any facts.Jun 20 10:08
Techrights-secWell the topic of 'censorship' is getting co-opted, same for firstJun 20 10:11
Techrights-secAmendment / Free Speech.  The far left whackdoodles are agitating againstJun 20 10:11
Techrights-secboth 1A and Free Speech and trying to conflate it with anything / everything badJun 20 10:11
Techrights-secWith the help of Facebook and Twitter and the others, they are gaining a lotJun 20 10:11
Techrights-secof headway in that direction.Jun 20 10:11
Techrights-secIt's been happening for more than a few years already.Jun 20 10:11
Techrights-secBoth sets of whackdoodles avoid the point that crime and incitement to crimeJun 20 10:11
Techrights-secare not covered by 1A or Free Speech.  However, I think the main goal withJun 20 10:11

schestowitzI've just nudge out the IRC blog post of today ("Missed Schedule"). I wanted to ask, do you want to have a go at making a substitute to Google News, limited to tech issues. TuxMachines already has a good starting point:  http://tuxmachines.org/aggregator/sources  basically, seeing how bad the media became and how neglected Google News is (lots of noise, plagiarism, and spam), competition will be easierJun 20 10:44

Techrights-secGoogle News is kind of complex in the back-end of things.Jun 20 14:03
Techrights-secI could build a bot for that but it'd take a lot of time to (re)design andJun 20 14:03
Techrights-secto tune.Jun 20 14:03
schestowitzthere are some search utilities out there, some of which I tried before, and we have spare CPU capacity, but getting people to adopt such a thing is easier said than done. chicken and egg thing...Jun 20 14:05
schestowitzsolr might be suitable when there is a large set of sites being indexedJun 20 14:05
Techrights-secI helped write such a bot in the distant past, but maybe something else is Jun 20 14:06
Techrights-secavailable in a current project.  It'd be an aweful lot of work either way,Jun 20 14:06
Techrights-secas far as I can tell.Jun 20 14:06
Techrights-secYes, but how much time and work would this be worth?  It could be re-usedJun 20 14:27
Techrights-secfor other topics of course but perhaps there is an easy way available instead.Jun 20 14:27
schestowitzyes, but it's always worth  doubled-blind testingJun 20 14:29
