Languages in the EU

I’m about to sound like the ignorant American I am, so I apologize in advance! We’re looking at a trip to Germany, and possibly Prague, and we’ve noticed that a lot of the hotel names are French and a couple hotels that aren’t named in French have replied to comments with things like “Bonjour! etc etc” What’s up...

Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

Why fediverse clients reinvent the C2S APIs and don't use ActivityPub?

I’m reading the ActivityPub spec here and it seems pretty fit for client-to-server communications.
