Same router story but my dad still spends his time reading books all day. I think the barrier of unfamiliarity with social media (and perhaps the disgust of an untailored algorithm) is just high enough that he will never


it doesn't mean anything different in American english, he said it himself - Brits consider events involving the murder of (Irish, Palestinian, etc.) civilians as ’ongoing concern(s)’

AudioBOokGENerator -> abogen

One should stop asuming everyone is versed in all slangs (or slurs for that matter) existing in all languages in the world. The author seems to have a Turkish name, thus I will assume he is Turkish and so I would guess he didnt think much about the name.


"Abo" in German means "subscription" (from the French abonnement). Show some cultural sensitivity about these languages.


"Abo" carries the same cultural impact as "Paki" in the UK, and isn't a word in its own right, let alone a very commonly used one. Completely different kettle of fish. Seeing as you want to derail this into some free speech rant - it's just distasteful. You really think anybody who wants legislative control over freedom of speech in Australia gives a damn about Aboriginals getting offended?


Intent matters and your phrasing "Seeing as you want to derail this into some free speech rant" is fundamentally offensive to me. Censor yourself.

Go fight for chat control under the guise of caring about others. It's been really successful so far. "Free speech rant"...


Having zero cultural sensitivity like this is incredibly embarrassing
