Twitter can reach various community from variety of region, like English Asia Twitter.

Entire fediverse is still mostly Western community.

I guess, Epic Games sales cuts seems attractive for multiplatform games with microtransaction made with Unreal Engine…

Forza Horizon 4 has 80% discount and it will get delisted this December.

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.

It also the only FOSS YT-based music player that actually support ruby text lyrics for Japanese.

Some people actually do, especially for people from similar music fandom.

I use Last.fm for more than decade and its nice to find fellow friend that have incredibly same niche music taste.

In a way, it’s the same as peopel sharing books collection on Goodreads or tracking movie list on Letterboxd.

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.

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

AlternativeTo is crowdsource, so one individual might find software A as suitable alternative, while others are not.

The same way that some people find GIMP enough to replace Photoshop, while others prefer Affinity Photo, Paint.NET, or Photopea.

I personally find so many cool underrated FOSS software, such as Inochi2D, AB Download Manager, Miria, OpenUTAU, Our Paint, Mihon, and Wick Editor.

Yep! There are so also many niche applications people never heard.

I regularly checking it for any FOSS alternative to any closed-source software. For example: Inochi2D, AB Download Manager, Miria, OpenUTAU, Our Paint, and Wick Editor.

Oh, being annoying to casual user makes them anti to whatever we promote.

The keyword is being moderate and helpful. Not forceful or annoying.

It’s just your average cultural clash.

Most people on internet are accustomed with English naming culture. Meanwhile when people from non-Western (mostly US) making name that seems cool in their culture, it often lead to cultural clash. This also applies to symbol, gesture, etc.

You would be surprised that numbers of FOSS project from East Asia not having updated information/license/documentation in English.

Especially Japanese one, it’s one of the hardest language that even if people had a middle level certification like JLPT N3, they might still not be able to translate formal document properly.

On other hand, FOSS project from Southeast Asia or South Asia always keeps their English documentation/license/info up to date.

Unfortunately Warmux is now a dead project, with official site taken over by unrelated company and only unofficial Flathub distribution exist.

Even Windows built and other OS is gone.
