As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I’d like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances
I think you’re splitting hairs and it’s not helpful. I have only ever known “Uber” as a German word and you saying it isn’t one won’t change my or others’ experience of it as such.
Not only is the etymology on my side, search engines also easily find several articles saying the company Uber got their name from a German word.
Uber is a loan word. Doesn’t matter how your perceive it, that doesn’t make it a more German. So is iceberg.
There is absolutely no way in which this even matters a slight bit. In-fucking-sufferable and entirely self unaware.
You’re in a thread complaining about a software using a German name for it’s German meaning. Your example for a ‘good German name’ is an English word that has German origins.
