   Consent, a quick guide for tech bros:

   Opt-out: I just stuck my ice cream cone in your mouth, you can remove it if you don’t like it.

   Opt-in: Would you like some ice cream?

     @stephen More like:

     You’re standing on the street inviting your friends to a party at your house. Some asshole overhears you and takes out an ad in the newspaper inviting everyone to your party. When you complain, said asshole retorts “well, if you didn’t want me to overhear you, you should have whispered it into their ears.”

     @aral a rebuttle for non tech bros:

     Opt-Out: You are standing on the street holding a sign up with your address on it. A newspaper photographer takes a photo of you. You contact the newspaper to ask to have the photo removed from publication

     Opt-In: You are standing on the street holding a sign up with your address on it, you invite a professional photographer to take some photos.

     @takarybka Polish… why so serious? :)

     (So I had to see what the translate button would do and it did not disappoint.)

     @aral More like you are having a street party and you put an invite onto the telegraph poles. Someone not from the street walks past and takes a photo and sends it to a mate.

     @aral Recently ran across this gem:

     https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.6/telemetry-settings-kbn.html#telemetry-optIn

     Yes, that “opt in” defaults to true.

     @aral @takarybka related: what app are you using that offers translations? And is it available for Android?

     @shadyspotlight @takarybka Just the standard Mastodon web app. Your server owner has to enable them through settings and needs to get either a LibreTranslate or DeepL API key. Not sure why this isn’t a per-account setting (especially given API key limits). Couldn’t find any documentation about it but there’s more info in this pull request:
