German-speakers of Lemmy, does 'Amerika' normally mean 'the Americas' or 'the USA'? by Microw in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] Microw@lemm.ee 11 points 2 hours ago

Depends on the context. If it is written/talked about in a geographic context, it will usually mean "the Americas". If it's in a political context, it will mean "the USA".

Keep on mind that reputable news outlets won't use "Amerika" when referring to the US however, they will use "Vereinigte Staaten" (United States). "Amerika" as a term for the US is very much a colloquial thing.

I have no TV. I watch all my movies and series via a big PC screen which has no TV functionality.

So you mean, thematically focused on the fediverse? Or able to listen to over the fediverse?

Linear TV over an antenna? Well that's only technically free. You'd need to buy a receiving device - that costs money. You need to watch ads - that costs time.

Sulayem used to be referred to as "Ben" in the racing community but ever since his controversies started in the media, people have started calling him "MBS" lol

I'm not a native speaker.. interesting, why would that be phrased that way? It's still multiple minutes?

Sounds like simply shitty programming if they need a 15 minutes delay in order to give users the possibility to edit their posts .. editing posts is possible in lots of fediverse software without such hacks lol

The show has also risen to be the #1 streamed show on Disney+ on the US market only.

Who would have thought a show about witches during halloween season would be watched a lot? ;)
