Yes, !fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world's rules say that images need to be mislabeled historical pictures but I think I explained myself well enough.

OK, I kinda get it. However, I will still be drawing a rage comic about this once I get a graphics tablet.
Rage comic idea
◰ Kid: *sings to a sing-along video on their tablet* "♪ now I know my ABCs ♫"
◳ Ghost of Karl Marx: *appears* "DON'T SAY THAT!"
Kid: *shocked*
◱ Karl Marx: *monologue all over the panel* "The modern Latin alphabet is not your private property! It is in the public domain, the collective ownership of mankind, and used by all English speakers as well as by literate people all over the world with minor variations. Billions of lives were made easier with a common writing system and a standard ordering of its glyphs. Learning what countless other children in the past few centuries have mastered does not give you the right to claim ownership of this knowledge and, in fact,..."
Kid: "Oh my god!"
◲ Karl Marx: *slaps kid with Das Kapital* ~(or~ ~maybe~ ~a~ ~better~ ~punchline,~ ~IDK)~
You need not to interpret this as a literally-meant possessive
I don’t, mir is not a possessive. The sentence could be literally translated as “For me, [it] is cold”. The feeling of cold is the speaker’s perspective expressed logically.
But why use my ABCs rather than the ABCs? The alphabet is the same for everyone, the feeling of cold in a location is not.
Imagine YouTuber describing a vintage computer: “...above the keyboard, you’ll find your cursor keys,” knowing that 99 % of their viewers never owned that type of computer.
How do you explain that case?
That's absolutely valid use of personal pronouns.
Mir ist kalt.
We say exactly this for “I am cold” in Czech. I have no problems with that nor your other examples, as they actually refer to the first person’s perspective. It is them who is cold and the general pronoun man would not make sense.
However, imagine a YouTuber showing off a vintage computer, saying “above the keyboard, you’ll find your cursor keys” to the audience. As a viewer who most likely does not own such a computer, in no sense of the word are the keys mine.
If you don't want to use the potentially unstable Nightly, Dev or Beta, you can use Fennec (stable builds with dev features).
Is still does, experimentally, if you enable developer settings, rather unintuitively through a Firefox Add-Ons account. Developer settings are not available in the official release but the Nightly builds as well as some forks, like 🦊Fennec, include them.
I can understand German and my native language is Czech. Could you provide some German examples? What you described (which I imagine could be im Nebel so dick dass du deine Füße nicht sehen könntest/in fog so thick that you could not see your feet) seems like an entirely normal use of personal pronouns to me (though the generic pronoun man/one would be better to use in formal writing in the previous example, as the perspective is objective). And yes, I did not use dative but I don't think this would be bound to a specific declension form.

Don’t throw them out yet if they work flawlessly. Give them to someone you know or just leave them somewhere. Also, you might need your old iPhone for some reason and so you should probably keep one (possibly semi-broken) cable.
I got very confused and tried clicking all kinds of stuff, ending up with a dozen accounts across the Fediverse. I am not the only one who did, apparently.
Yes! And we're being successful, however the c is now 6 px tall and looks very sus. We need to make one like in my template (you need to install a userscript to see it, or just look at the c in r/placede)
There are only 3 models of calculators in the shot (the TI-83 looks different in a rubber case) and I had one of each. It's a composite photo. And after returning the borrowed CASIO and selling the TI-84, I only had a $10 overall cost and still keep the TI-83.
