That “dumb” name is just name in another language 🫠

There’s no universal “phonetic spelling.”

Every language and its user have unique accent and they will intreprete phonitic spelling differently.

Whatever the result in, I wish there won’t be over-moderation that too Western-centric.

Not all swastika are Nazi (I live in a country where swastika is simply symbol of religion and peacefulness). Not all words that too similar with offending word in English are bad (some games literally banned Indonesian for having “nasi goreng” as their name, too similiar with Nazi they said.)

Regarding the interface: Krita is heavily designed to match artist workflow around the world. Here’s the complexity:

Different region, ages, and level of professionality have entirely different of common/standard app.

A lot of comic artist or illustrator that delves in anime/manga/ACG style in Asia use Clip Studio Paint as their main software. People from Western gaming industry often used Photoshop or Procreate. Teenager in Asia often use ibisPaint. PaintToolSAI for lightweight and customizable interface. There’s Rebelle for replicating traditional realistic painting.

Krita tried to cater to all of these people, not just “Photoshop users” that mostly just for image editing.

Vintage Story.

It’s indie Minecraft-alike that expand survival element 100 times. With various unique lore and semi-realism gameplay.

Graphite.rs is node-based.

It’s entirely different workflow.

There’s new contender in FOSS music player scene: Fooyin

Fooyin is Foobar2000-like music player that currently hevily in development, it probably less than one year, but it has so many advance feature that even establish music player doesn’t have.

Huge chunk of “visual novel” standard by Western-based site are not actually considered visual novel in Japan (and visual novel fandom).

For example, Danganronpa and Phoenix Wright are not visual novel, but “adventure games/ADV.”

Even Nintendo’s Emio English promotional call it adventure games.

I wonder if people that JavaScript is indirectly named from an ethnic group in Indonesia.

Javanese ethnic -> Java Island -> Javanese coffee -> Java programming language -> JavaScript

Upload them to YouTube or Bilibili. Japanese music fandom tends to archive everything that not available anymore on YouTube and rarely get taken down.

That way, newer generation can discover them. Just like city pop.

Most of actively maintained extension are from Keiyoushi, which is open source and community maintained.

It has 1300+ extension from various sites and platform across diverse languages.

As much as I love Linux for mobile idea, it doesn’t have a lot of apps that people rely, like banking or government related stuff.

I mean for digital content. I live in Indonesia, and majority of people cannot afford to pay digital service, but an ads of foods or essential stuff works.

Instead of car, people of my country usually able to drive motorcycle.

But not me. I’d rather take my bicycle. I don’t want to deal with cost of maintaining motorcycle.

Japan has so many unique store that operated in their country with region-locked apps/games.

As far as I remember, even DMM and DLsite already has their own game store on Android.

This is truly a win for Japanese customer and company.

Vintage Story

Basically MInecraft for grown ups, also Native Linux available.

So, it’s Servo?

https://servo.org/

It’s also written in Rust.

…I think the previous comment is mistyping LMMS software to LLM.
