  • It has the number of steps it does so that the pressure from the button holding your pants closed is evenly distributed over the fabric (and thread), so that nothing tears or rips. When sewing through cloth more points of attachment is generally better. You might be able to staple a button on without damaging the fabric over time, but it’s probably a lot less comfortable to wear than one sewn on.

    Just attached a button to my pants yesterday, after the factory sewn button gave up.





  • On lemmy, a ban can be a few different things:

    1. Banned from the instance your account is on. This means you have to make a new account, usually on a different instance.
    2. Banned from a different instance than the one your account is on. This means you get banned from communities you’ve participated in on that instance, and that instance will no longer federate with your account. You might participate in new communities on that instance, and people not on that instance on your instance will see your comments, but people on the instance you were banned from and other instances won’t see them. From the perspective of that instance you don’t exist anymore.
    3. Not banned from any instances, but banned from individual communities. You can’t post in that specific community but can still interact with the instance that community is on.

    Like someone else said, clear as mud, lol.


  • It confirms that she was born in Germany, lived there for the first years of her life before fleeing Nazi persecution, and had German citizenship until it was revoked by the Nazis. “She was a German who had her citizenship revoked by the Nazis at the time of her death” and “she wasn’t German” aren’t compatible without accepting the Nazi definition of who was and wasn’t a German citizen. The Holocaust was carried out on Germany’s citizens (in addition to those of other nations), even if they denied that these people were citizens.

    In the current political climate I feel this is a very important distinction to make.


  • Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1929. In 1934, when she was four-and-a-half, Frank and her family moved to Amsterdam in the Netherlands after Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party gained control over Germany. By May 1940, the family was trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands. Frank lost her German citizenship in 1941 and became stateless.

    Did we read the same article? How do Nazis revoke citizenship from someone who wasn’t a citizen? She was still German born and would have had the right to legal recognition of her status as a German citizen had she survived. The only sense in which she wasn’t German is that the Nazi government in power at the time of her death didn’t consider her a citizen (or human being), but that’s a pretty poor basis to say she wasn’t German.
