@futurebird age is a romanic suffix, I think. That’s why we don’t have a simple word like that in germanic languages. Despite the meme, there isn’t a word for everything in German. I’d even say the opposite is true; if you don’t count compounds as separate words, our daily vocabulary is probably smaller than English.

What do ya'll people who use sane unit systems rather than our US nonsense system call "mileage"@futurebird Hmm… For the three definitions of “mileage” in en.wikipedia.org, in German:
Distance traveled in the life time of a car: Tachostand (tachograph status).
Distance traveled from a point: Zurückgelegte Strecke (traveled distance).
Fuel economy: Spritverbrauch (fuel usage), measured in litre/100km.
Business mileage reimbursement rate: No such thing, afaik. -
What is the point of converting this software?@samir fish has successfully been rewritten in Rust. By the maintainer, because he wanted to do it, bit by bit.
As you say, the people are the important part. Everyone wants to replace them with slop these days. Until the house of cards crashes down and the slop spills everywhere.
