- Comment on So is it "It just works" or "Shit just works"? 12 hours ago:
I’ve always read it as “shit just works”. Why would the “sh” be there if we weren’t supposed to read it?

- Comment on Anon hates smartphones 2 days ago:
Before modern smartphones existed, I dreamed that they would one day exist and we could use computers and the Internet whereever we are, not just from home/work/school.
There are bad things about them too, but overall I would not want to do without them.

Pokémon taught children everywhere that if they enter strangers’ houses without warning, the strangers might randomly give them useful objects that help them in life.
- Comment on Why do people say things like "I didn't do nothing"? 5 days ago:
in some Austrian/Bavarian dialects people say things like “i hob koa Gööd ned” which translated word-for-word to Standard German is “ich habe kein Geld nicht”.
- Comment on Why do people say things like "I didn't do nothing"? 5 days ago:
There are languages (e.g. Spanish) where a double negative is still understood as a positive.
Standard varieties of English aren’t among them, but some dialects are.
The same is also true in German.

the rules are also changing as more and more people are complaining about reading things they don’t agree with
which is why people need to start understanding that moderation is different from censorship
- Comment on Roskomnadzor sent an abuse report to Hetzner regarding @Bellingcat account on mstdn.social fedi instance 1 week ago:
I intentionally didn’t register on big instances like lemmy.world or mastodon.social in order to avoid being part of obvious places to censor.
- Comment on Roskomnadzor sent an abuse report to Hetzner regarding @Bellingcat account on mstdn.social fedi instance 1 week ago:
Ideally, the fediverse will help people in censorious countries access information their governments don’t want them to see, but I am not too optimistic, I used to think that about the entire Internet and look where we are now, governments around the world are very much managing to control the spread of information on it.
- Comment on I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out? 1 week ago:
I was replying to OP, not you. OP didn’t specify this.
- Comment on I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out? 1 week ago:
At what point in time? If the aircraft is still on the ground, it wouldn’t take off in that condition, i.e. you would be ordered to leave it again and need to take a different one. The explanation by @NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world is, I think, correct for what would happen if that happened during the flight.

- Comment on Since removed comments can still be read in the modlogs, isn't removing comments useless? 1 week ago:
I agree to some extent with you.
But you should start reading here: astralcodexten.com/…/moderation-is-different-from…
I believe there is a small set of information that should not only be moderated (not shown to people who don’t want to see it), but censored. I’m thinking especially of doxing. For that reason I think this is a real problem, that people’s personal information may still show up in mod logs.
Of course, on the Internet, you can’t really effectively control the spread of any (including this kind of) information at all.

The fact that you posted this question without any context on how old you are really, what you look like, how you behave, may be a clue as to your maturity.
- Comment on Has any country actually _solved_ the housing crisis? 1 week ago:
We still reduced our tram system quite a bit from what it once was; not to zero like e.g. West Berlin did, but lots of places where trams used to run now have bus or metro lines running instead.
- Comment on Has any country actually _solved_ the housing crisis? 1 week ago:
“before they did this” for Vienna is around WW1, which was a very different time :/
I am not very familiar with housing crises in other countries. I have lived in Vienna my whole life and now live in an apartment I own. This was possible to afford for me (a single man then in his mid-20s working as a software engineer) with a bank loan and some financial support from my family; I am not sure if it would still be possible nowadays.

- Comment on Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English 2 weeks ago:
I’m a native speaker of German and of course I spoke English to the people in the Netherlands when I was there. I don’t know any Dutch and don’t expect them to speak German, so English is pragmatically the language that we have most likely in common.

The article doesn’t mention this, so I am adding that you can also read that annotated version online for free at www.mein-kampf-edition.de (but only in German; not sure if there are annotated translations into other languages, I never checked because German is my first language).
