Thanks for all the replies. I had a very grim interpretation where the driver being an active part was removed. This happens a lot in German media where it is rarely a driver killing someone but instead someone "dying in traffic" - as if it's a higher power.

Glad it might just be interchangable or an alliteration...

Ah, just being an alliteration might be the case. I used to separate these by active/passive (as pointed out by some of the other comments) which is why this was so confusing to me.

Re the headline: Can someone explain to me - a German - when to use "deadly" and when to use "lethal"? Feeling pretty confident with the language, but this one just confuses the shit out of me...

No, of course it's not true. Somehow people still upvote some random conspiracy theory from a fortnite subreddit...

Upvote since I agree with that sentiment

Also worth mentioning that there's gonna be a movie based on another one of his graphic novels in 2024:

What a coincidence: just yesterday I rewatched the warehouse 13 episode where they're at a civil war reenactment LARP and someone complains about the fucking trekkies always crashing their party as RPG time travelers.

"The Bild newspaper is an organ of infamy. It is wrong to read it. Anyone who contributes to this newspaper is socially unacceptable. It would be wrong to be friendly or even polite to one of its editors. You have to be as unfriendly to them as the law allows. They are bad people who do the wrong thing" - Max Goldt (translated from German)

Comments are the worst as they are ignored by refactoring. That's the reason if (false) is actually really good for temporarily disabled code.

"Neither of which run well on Linux."

"I've never ran them because of that reason."

Yikes.

Yeah, depending on your definition of reinstall you either reinstall NixOS never or on every boot. There's no in-between.

"simply hosting"

You sir don't have the slightest idea of what an immense operation "simply hosting" those videos is.
