What makes the chart "only" on 3% is Chinese users. English Linux user alone has more than 6% percentage of Linux users.

We need Chinese government for their independent tech stack to include Linux further. At the moment, there are already several Chinese distro with big companies porting their basic apps to Linux (like chat app, office app, etc).

If Chinese gov force gaming company to support Linux as well, we will see a huge surge evenmore. There are a huge number of Chinese game that never made out of China, and exclusive to PC only.

Lol, as Javanese, It's funny that Javanese ethnic name -> Javanese coffee -> Javanese programming language.

People still keep thinking that I was a programmer or making a typo of Japanese everytime I mention I speak Javanese.

1. Non-Westerner that never have or realized alternative platform exist.
2. Artist that dependant on mainstream social media reach. (some artists already have 100K+ followers there, fedi also have limited reach due to instance blocking, e.g. you're on Mastodon.art and want to reach Japanese audience (mainly misskey.io, but t was defederated on most of Western instance.)
3. People with social network bubble outside Westernsphere, they only have exclusively local feed on their Twitter.
4. People outside Westernsphere that already tried fediverse, but moving back as fediverse is still Western-centric or does not have their own community on feidverse.
5. Community that does not have monetary power to invest on their own fedi instance.

No. Importance of UX simply means advance users can customize their workflow while making it easy to use for casual users.

Kinda like Krita or Blender. Both are not perfect, but the dev are working on it, together with the community.

Even GIMP dev also working on that, they have GIMP UX issue tracker here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/GIMP/Design/gimp-ux/

"your program should look and behave exactly like this other program made by a corpo, because I've learned that one already"

Oftentimes established workflow is already simple. There's no need to reinvent this from scratch. Example: Npainter and AzPainter are heavily inspired by PaintToolSAI. Inochi Creator is a clone (with unique feature) of Live2D Cubism.

Wrong.

"GIMP is a cross-platform image editor ... Whether you are a graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, or scientist, GIMP provides you with sophisticated tools to get your job done." - gimp.org

Shape tools is a universal basic tool for any software that handle some sort of image creation or addition.

Photo editing, general image editing, painting software, page layout design, vector design, PDF editor, all of them have one.

Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, Clip Studio Paint, Krita, Photopea, Pixelmator, Affinity Photo, ... all of them have shape tools.

Heck, even Microsoft Excel and Word even have one.

EDIT: Shape tool is planned, not yet WIP. Source: GIMP Roadmaps

Just a reminder for people here: People can change and do better.

A lot of his old content are basically edgy, toxic, and too much. He basically did racist joke towards various groups of people, just for the sake of anger them. Even a lot of his fans also often recognizing those mistake and asked him to do better.

He's now a husband and a father. He's not doing any these joke anymore. He already recognizing his past mistake and do much better these days.

All of his content is now simple wholesome and even inspiring. His several drawing content is actually often being shared among art community.

Let's celebrate when people recognize their mistake and doing things better!

EDIT: I recommend to watch his video: I Drew Every Day for 100 DAYS! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJDtQTTAogk which highly regarding on art community for its art journey. Even a lot of illustrator, both professional and hobbyist started reacting to it.

Misskey. It's second most used software in fediverse. Used in misskey.io, which has 10 thousands daily active user (possibly 100K-200K MAU).

Developed since 2014. Originally function as self-hosted microblogging, now turns into unique social media. For example:

• Misskey-flavoured Markdown, example
• social games (only two so far: Reversi and Bubble Game)
• emoji reaction like Discord (they're the first one to implement it on fediverse)
• Antennas (tracking post with any keyword)
• Pages
• Channels (groups)
• Clips (bookmark with multiple groups, kinda like Facebook bookmarks)
• Achievement
• optional ads banner (just in case the server admin wants to do community ads, usually used for indie games, comics, vtuber, or IRL art event)

Their community is mainly Japanese, they desperately need English contributor and community to help them grow.

Adding random information regarding Misskey. Misskey is specifically created to tackle Japanese internet culture and its own interpretation of fediverse.

For example, Misskey software allow the instance owner to run ads (usually community ads like promoting indie games, open for art illustration, or vtuber) while Western-made fediverse software are anti-ads.

Misskey also allows a lot of fun feature like social games, blogs, groups, emoji reaction, Misskey-flavored Markdown (people are getting wild with it).

It also have drive, which allow user to reuse existing uploaded image without using additional server storage.

Also, fun achievements!

Another reminder that we need to keep Crunchyroll from operating in SEA market.

We enjoy our anime being available on several platform at the same time. Whether it was on Netflix, Bilibili, Muse YouTube, or regional smaller platform.

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

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.

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.
