Native speaker of German here and I am not sure about that. German tends to put verbs in the end in a lot of sentences, but apart from that, it’s mostly possible to use English-like word orders in German too; I don’t think the difference is significant enough that it would change the entire style of humor.

The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution is a part of the US Constitution that prohibits laws violating certain specific rights, two of them being the freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Many other countries have some equivalent to this too.
The relevance here is that taking photos of public spaces is part of freedom of speech and of the press.
24·2 days agoI don’t know anyone who was on the fence, and decided to enlist after visiting the army booth at Gamescom lol
The idea is, like of most marketing, probably more that some people might not have been very aware that it was an option and that there are these kinds of jobs in the army.
8·2 days agoThe clue of what ActivityPub is for is in the name: it is for publishing activities.
Some such activities could be that someone has written, updated, or commented on fanfiction stories. If you want to exchange that information between different sites, AP is very well suited for that.
1·2 days agoNo, the translation I was referring to didn’t say “Kursive”, it said “kursiv”, I definitely remember that. That was the episode with Cypress Creek and Hank Scorpio where Bart is asked whether he never learned cursive…
“Kursiv” really just translates back to “italic” despite being a cognate of “cursive”. Outside one bad translation of a Simpsons episode, I have never heard connected handwriting referred to as “kursiv” in German.

8·3 days agoFRLG because it introduces Pokémon the way it was meant to be introduced, with Pallet Town and Team Rocket, which are cultural references people will hear elsewhere, without being as completely outdated and awkward as gen 1.

You can do that. It may just flood your timeline.
While I agree with the petition, it shouldn’t be limited to Windows, it should be about software freedom…
2·5 days agoIt’s a good analysis, but not really specific to code, the exact same ideas apply to AI-generated text, images, music, etc.
This would actually not meet the criteria of free and open source software if it were real.
6·7 days agoA header that says “user is under 18, no nsfw content” should generally be fine and should be sufficient, or websites could report a tag list like “tag: 18+ reason: explicit nudity” for the client to filter.
Voluntarily, not mandated by the government; and then without actual verification requirements.
No. Stop being constructive about this. There should not be age verification on the Internet, at all, period, no compromises whatsoever. People who want it to exist do not deserve that anyone work constructively with them, they deserve only complete and fundamental opposition.
KDE Plasma can be (and by default is) configured to work mostly like Windows, which I have to use at work anyway. I have no interest in having to do things radically differently on different computers I regularly use.
2·9 days agofrom proprietary software, not from Microsoft; nothing wrong with using free software just because it was developed by Microsoft
25·10 days agoAll games have a PC version. Not all games have a released PC version.
Development is done on PCs, so all games are first tested there…
They can and it has been done, IIRC Friendica or something does that…? (Correct me if I am wrong.)
Even on Lemmy, community mods can see who voted how on which posts and comments.
People who genuinely think Germans cannot be funny should check out Otto Waalkes.
