Second time today that I had no idea if a post was about meatspace or the cybre because things are all called the same and life doesn't make much sense.

I'm using Ubuntu because I'm scared of learning new stuff but whenever someone praises some other distro I get all the greedy bi feels 👁 *grabby paws*

(either that, or they're actually ok, but they are about things that i don't know much about, and i'd have to look up the pronunciation of lots of obscure cybre things that are linked in them)
Sometimes I get in the mood to record something for the spoken wikipedia project in german, but omg, most of the german wikipedia articles on subjects that i'm not super bored by are so so so bad.

I have decided over the last few months that I will never actually leave my family to take the opportunity offered in this blog post and flex it until either it breaks or I do, so I am bringing it to your attention.
(warning: this is a blog post hiding a rabbit hole snare. I can tell you that upfront without decreasing its effectiveness as a trap. it's that good a rabbit hole if you haven't met Steve and his projects before, and also if you have.)

@grainloom it can be different from that :) more like an obscure meme that not everybody gets, or talking about some niche topic, less like "only these people are allowed to read it".
But, yeah, the way languages are used and can be connected to lots of stuff is definitely weird. Humans are weird.
@grainloom As for the other part, sometimes, people don't want to post in English, or cant. When I'm tired, it takes more effort to write in a 2nd language.
And more readers are not always good. Sometimes, you don't mind having a smaller audience. Maybe fewer people even feel safer. Maybe it's just easier for you to express that thought in a language that isn't English. Maybe it's a pun that needs a CW for some reason.
And why English CWs can happen with that, well, see above.
@grainloom mhm one reason is: conventions, using what you're used to. Also, coming from Twitter, where I usually post in German: English words tend to take up fewer characters.
Plus, twitter is terrible for CWing, and language contrast can help marking a thing as a CW there.
So… I'd guess most ppl don't have logical reasons for that, but are simply used to it.
