Mastodon CEO Eugen Rochko has spoken out about the significant moderation changes announced by Meta on Tuesday, which will see the social networking giant
Lmfao, no clue why you’re being downvoted so much. It’s absolutely true that the camel-case here looks like a clusterfuck, even when it’s easily explained.
the longest street name in Germany is “Bischöflich-Geistlicher-Rat-Josef-Zinnbauer-Straße”, which I don’t think is that different from something like “St Martin-in-the-Fields Church Path” in the UK.
(I’m purposefully ignoring Wales, because they’re just fucking with us at this point)
The can keep their l’s and y’s, my issue is that I don’t trust their language after their longest town name was arbitrarily made so to reap in unsuspecting tourists

Mastodon gHmbH? What happened there? Was he naming the company and somehow fell on the keyboard?

Close, it’s German. Basically an LLC.

No it’s not. It’s a gGmbH. Notice the leading “g”. It’s a nonprofit company.
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeinnützige_GmbH
Unfortunately there is no English translation of that page on Wikipedia.
Let’s just call it a nonprofit.
Cat on the keyboard. Been there…
gGmbH = gemeinnützige Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung = limited liability company serving the public benefit
God damn the German language sure uses the entire alphabet in every word…How do they fit names onto their street signs???
Replace ss with ß.

Well thank goodness they have that ß character to help keep their street names so efficient.
Are the Welsh fucking anything other than their flock?
Do you have a problem with the language that’s half l and y?

Is the first g the “for public benefit” part? Because isn’t GmbH an evil company?
Also, isn’t the norm that if you’re doing good, you don’t name the leader a CEO but a Director or something?
yes, gemeinnützig = serving the public benefit (literally approximately: gemein = common, nützig = useful, i.e. useful to the common good)
GmbH is just the (almost literal) translation of LLC.
And we’re on Lemmy, so any LLC is inherently evil. /s
If your goal is profit, then yes.
/not s
When I was a kid I always pictured a goomba when I saw GmbH.
Thats a good association.
@Lost_My_Mind @TheTechnician27 A gGmbH is roughly comparable to a PBLLC.
