Namecheap let me register with just a Tuta email. Payment could maybe go through an online prepaid debit card. Never had a human check AFAIK.

A cure is petty much the only thing that will prevent the end of PEPFAR not turning into a backdraft style resurgent AIDS epidemic in southern Africa.

Can you show me an example of a website outside of a .DE site that offers translation into any of them?

He eating the dogs, he's eating the... well, not cats. Just dogs.

Find a Linux distro you like and install it instead of Windows.

Use LibreOffice, not MSOffice

Ditch Google, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft.

Tech walled gardens are insane asylums. Leave them.

I'm not saying it's a good idea, i just see it a lot. Maybe I'm only paying attention to this in Europe, where it's a bit more clear-cut, rather than tracking down population data to select a template option on a website for something like a cafe menu.

Please try and look at this as a reasonable person.

Do you go to Italy, see a QR code on a table in a cafe, and berate them about their online menu showing an Italian flag, but the Italian language predates the Italian Republic?

It's simple because this is someone coding a site in one language, and then likely running it through Google Translate to get other options. Maaaaybe with a single human reviewing it of they're lucky. But likely not even that.

Not every website has a translation team of 20 or 30 PhDs working to ensure optimal linguistic understanding and anthropological and historical accuracy. Likewise, no, I'm very sorry to tell you that people very often don't really care about others. If pay 3 people in India, or ask an LLM, to code a website with German translation, either the drop down will say Deutsch or it'll say that and have a German flag. What should Austria have, a tiny picture of Mozart but the site is still just German?

German dialects are still....German language, yes?

I'm just telling you what I've seen used. Typically it's a lot of European flags for languages that originate in Europe. So UK for English, German for German, French for French, Spain for Spanish. Belarusian would be the flag of...Belarus? Not sure why that's a challenge.

To your question about China - What should be used for Swahili? What should be used for Yarouba or Hausa or Shona or Chewa? Africa is the problem, and so the typical method for doing this is very Euro-centric.

Tell me... Where did, roughly speaking, German originate? Germany, perhaps?

Does Germany have a flag?

Not sure why this is some sort of hidden secret code.

Typically they're used for the counties where the language originated.

UK for English France for French Japan for Japanese Spain for Spanish Russia for Russian Portugal for Portuguese

UK.

Tell your dad that what he sees on Facebook needs to stay on Facebook.

Just bad UX design. Typically this should include flags or the language's name in the language if they really did a good job.

Yeah, I would want to eat food and whatnot, so I wold probably want money which I can trade for goods and services.

lol, can't have fireworks injury statistics if you pass a bill that closes all the hospitals!

No - A Banana

As in, a top-tier, Grade A fully fresh yellow Banana! You think you'll get a B Banana? HELL NO. Only A Bananas here, my friend!

What a time to bail and get as far away from MS products as possible.

This is one of those reasons why I really don't mind the Web 2.0 Walled Garden to some degree.

LinkedIn makes the wall very high, and the people inside the wall are mostly insane like this. That's not a walled garden, that's an asylum.

In Buddhism, we would call it the realm of hungry ghosts, lower than the animal realm (as in base, animalistic desires) and one step above the hell realm. A realm of self-imposed suffering where people can't do anything of merit to burn off karma.

And people like this don't want to leave at all. It's killing them, and they are deluded into "loving" it. Let them stay there. I don't want their illness anywhere I normally enjoy life.
