You know, that would be a worthwhile discussion to have; but that hinges on the mods not banning and removing the comments of anyone with a critical perspective. As of now, this is not possible on lemmy.ml.

No they are tankies. I got banned from the comics sub for criticizing a comic that gave a, to put it nicely, very one sided perspective on communism.
I am using a immutable Fedora since January and it has been great so far.
I think they are probably too polarizing.
I guess for “Flugzeug”, ‘device’ works better but I don’t think I have ever thought about it in that way. From my experience usage usually goes more like this: “Pack dein Zeug zusammen wir gehen weiter.” which I think best translates to ‘Stuff’ or ‘things’. Zeug is an interesting word though. It is also used for the harness of a draft animal (“sich ins Zeug legen”), it’s bridle (“Zaumzeug”), bed linen (“Bettzeug”), work tools (“Werkzeug”) , or as a word for nonsense (“red kein dummes Zeug”). I would say it started, as you said, as a word for device but became a slightly negative word for ‘Stuff’.
The german word for aeroplane is similar, “Flugzeug” directly translates to “flying thing”. Helicopter is also fun, “Hubschrauber” translates to “lifting screwer”.
The videos by suckerpinch are always a treat. I can also highly recommend his video about filesystems that store data in difficult ways, for example by playing Tetris in a NES emulator and using the arrangement of the tetris blocks as data store.
Or he is trying to get ahead of some news. Maybe a journalist contacted him about some serious allegations. So now he joins up with Musk, comes out against the ‘woke agenda’ and when the news releases, he can claim its main stream media silencing him.
Kagi was founded as an AI company so this is not surprising. I unsubscribed from them after learning that. Also, their CEO is a weirdo who harasses people critical of their product and he thinks the GDPR is optional.
