It's also a much more obscure game, my parents have a copy of it (so I played it many times in my childhood) but I've never encountered anyone else with one, nor do I remember seeing it sold.

Also we usually didn't call it by its German name "Was soll ich mich sorgen? Mach du dir Sorgen!" (more or less a direct translation of the above English), but just called it the "Selbstverteidigungskarte" (self-defense card).

Most popular programming languages have English-language keywords and that can't be changed, so we certainly have to learn those.

How we learn to name symbols (variable/function names), that obviously depends on the programming course. But most real-world code has most symbols written in English with the possible exception of business-specific terminology that the business doesn't use in English. The same is true of comments.

The OS was renamed at some point; the first versions of the Unix/NEXTstep-based OS made by Apple were named Mac OS X, then at some point they switched to "OS X" (which hardly anyone ever actually said), then at some point to "macOS". So it's somewhat silly that they are separate lines and I don't know what the difference is on that graph.

Wenn du uns sagst, welchen Editor du verwendest, können wir dir evtl. besser helfen. Es sollte aber jeder Editor, mit dem du solche Daten bearbeiten kannst, irgendwie eine Funktion "split way"/"Weg auftrennen" (evtl. "Weg teilen") haben; normalerweise muss man gleichzeitig den Weg auswählen und einen Knoten, an dem man ihn auftrennen will, und dann diese Funktion verwenden.

Wie meinst du Teilabschnitt? Du kannst und sollst auf jedem Weg (way) eigene Tags setzen. Wenn die Straße noch nicht da in getrennte Wege geteilt ist, wo sich die Begrenzung ändert, musst du das eben zuerst machen.

How will they know which members of my family are teens if we never submit to age verification? /s

yup, the article mentions this problem, starting with the absolutely true statement:

The bill says it doesn’t require age verification. But like many recent “kids online safety” bills, it imposes obligations that depend on a company knowing whether a user is under 18.

Technically, I think Google could probably scan my Gmail inbox and be fairly confident I'm not a minor anymore (because I have been getting emails minors typically wouldn't for many years). But that wouldn't help for any chatbots other than Gemini.

There just aren't any good guys in this story.

Meta and its platforms suck and the world would be a better place without them. People who are claiming online platforms should be held liable for being "addictive" suck, too. Should I be able to successfully sue my Lemmy instance admin too because I like to spend time here too much?

I'm reminded of my parents limiting my forum time because they thought I (then a preteen) was "addicted" to forums in the mid-2000s. I still don't think they were right about that, and I don't sympathize with people now claiming the equivalent thing about Instagram et al. either.

Governments are only now starting to introduce stronger regulations

yes, and are thereby killing any opportunity for us, the people, to solve the problem ourselves by operating platforms independent from big tech >:( Meta will be able to comply with any regulations governments will ever think of, their business depends on it; fediverse instances meanwhile...
