If you know English, you know a good bit of German. The sentence structure gets a bit weird (monolingual American here, but I’m trying). Pick up Duolingo and get at it.

And don’t stop or the owl will kill you.

I mean, halt nicht an oder sonst bringt dich die Eule an.

Die Eule bringt dich um.

The owl takes you around the corner to shoot you.

“Um die Ecke bringen” also equals killing in german.

Aber sonst komplett richtig.

Let’s see how this will pan out, Munich did something similar, but between conservative opposition, lobbying efforts by Microsoft and people complaining about compatibility issues and changes in workflow, it ended up being reversed. That was a while ago, though, and Linux on desktop only got better since then.

EDIT: Yeah, they mention that in the article, seems it really is going at it from a different angle this time.

With people after a certain age working in administrative bodies you can be sure of one thing. Someone will whine and complain either “we never did it this way” or “we always did it this way”.
