That means the info is gone and nowhere to be found anymore. Yeah, post it somewhere else from now on, but don't delete your old stuff.

Yeah, not actively supporting reddit anymore is one thing, but with deleting every comment/post you basically just hurt users. Reddit doesn't give a fuck.
You won't believe how often I search for a problem only to find 50 "Thank you"s for a deleted comment.
Arguing that the female version makes it a second choice and then erasing it completely makes absolutely no sense. If german was a language with no difference in gender this might work, but that's not what it is. We have female forms for most nouns so this will not work. A gender asterisk includes all genders. The argument that it puts female form second is also week as in german the emphasis of a word is usually on the last syllable.
Like it or not, our way of talking and writing is excluding people and is biasing our perception as to which things (especially jobs) are mainly male and what are female. There are enough studies about language and gender bias out there.
Words have power and we should take it seriously.
Achso, bei Fahrradfahrern wird plötzlich auf "wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen" gehört um Unfälle zu reduzieren und weniger schlimm zu machen. Bei Autos ist "Eigenverantwortung" in der Geschwindigkeit gegeben. Das kann man sich nicht ausdenken.
These laws are only applicable in two of Germany's 16 states and only for state officials and authorities as well as schools. The other states mostly critize those states for infringing on equality rights. It just bans the use of gender related punctuations in written documents and school exams. It's not well thought out.
You can still use gender neutral terms (Lehrende instead of Lehrer*innen). It's a big deal as those states do it to cater to right-wing voters and fish them from the nazi-party AFD.
Btw Binnen-I is LehrerInnen. Other gender neutral notations are a "*", "_" or ":"
If you ever tried to live in Munich, you don't need a second house that's vacant. Rent is among the highest in Europe and people in the middle class pay up to 80% of their salary for rent, it gets worse in lower income brackets. The city cannot afford to have premises vacant.
Yeah, I get that. That's why patents themselves are shit. Imagine what would the world look like today if volvo didn't donate it's seat belt patent to the world?
Fuck patents. Two of the patents are pretty much used for 15+ years by different companies and are the basis for 3D-printing in general. I hate that is legal to don't give a crap about a patent until you feel someone's threatening your position. I was thinking about buying a Bambu-Labs printer. Probably gotta get it before some stupid court gives the case to Stratasys.
The only reasonable thing is to disassemble, sanding it down and then spray painting it. Even if you get the color right, the texture of the missing rubber coating will always make it stand out.
Fun fact: When watching the german versions of the prequels, the acting isn't a problem anymore, as professional voice actors bring their own take to the characters and make some of it much more tolerable. Hayden was screwed by bad directing. And script of course.

It makes absolutely no sense for advertising to switch all advertising to Spanish from a single day of recording. This would mean they disregarded ALL of the meta data they had on them. Location, things they visited, pages they visited etc. I've been on vacation and spoken a different language for two weeks and it didn't change the language of my ads. It just makes no sense to do that from a single data point, when all else contradicts them being/speaking Spanish.
