Open means "uben" in german so

Free Libre Open Source Software is FLUSS in german and that roughly translates to "fucking" and I think that's beautiful.

Wrong on... pretty much all accounts

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That is incredibly wrong

"Uben" doesn't exist.
Open means "offen"
"Fluss" would be river or flow or flux

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Open in German is "offen," and Fluss means "river" (or "flux"), so ... no.

yeah i know i was joking

maybe it wasn't a good joke ^^

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it was by German standards

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

The book of German humor is incredibly thin.

No it is not, it as an extremely long book with thousands of pages. It just isn’t funny.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

It wasn't funny, but fun for Germans, cause it gave them a chance to correct you and explain their language.
