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?

It’s also written in Rust.

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

I recall randomly check open source project and some of them has German public funding.

Clip Studio Paint IIt was way ahead than any commercial or FOSS alternative. Especially if you’re illustrator or comic artist working in specialized workflow (East Asia and SEA industry).

Tried Krita back then, but still lacks a lot of major important feature and customizable UI layout.

Heliboard language supports is limited, not on par with Google or Microsoft Android keyboard unfortunately. Especially for non-alphabet language.

For an OS that you need to install manually, it’s definitely a lot.

westerners trying to self-criticize their use of chauvinistic language

That’s the problem.

Westerner often force this rules towards everyone.

Like that one time someone got banned for using “nasi goreng” as their username with reasoning “it has similarity with Nazism” despite it’s on international group.

Or when Asian English group that usually co-exist within recognition of different culture suddenly has Westerner that policing everything about language. “Oh this is so offensive towards Asian”, while no one in group never know or even used the word in negative connotation.

While in reality because SEAsian are multi-language speaker, we just self moderate in case of potential language conflict, like budak in Malay is children, but in Indonesian means slave.

Asian here and rice eater here.

Language doesn’t work in absolute way, it could change its meaning all the time.

It’s better to regain is neutral meaning instead of letting the racist weaponize neutral word.

Also, this mindset is also Western centric, go to Asia and people in Linux and car community simply use the word without any negative connotation.

Edit: By doing this, you’re no different from imperial government who tries to make one standard of morality, which in fact further hurts Asian living in Asia. And as Indonesian, I’m hurt with your statement. Let me regain the neutral meaning. Don’t speak for us.

TikTok already did this in Indonesia.

They remove any videos that being critical towards TikTok. Especially, they’re trying to flood Indonesian market with cheap Chinese goods via TikTok Shop.

So, exactly how it works in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesian.

They speak native local language from their city, other two from other islands, English for international language, sometimes Chinese, Malay, Arabic, Korean, or Japanese. Not to forget the national language, Indonesian.
