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.
*Has bigger catalog if you were fans of mostly Western and European music.
Which F-Droid client is that?
Vintage Story
Basically MInecraft for grown ups, also Native Linux available.
Average people will simply search app that has the most familiarity, so “looking for additional workaround” is often irrelevant.
The default toolbox placement is should be conform with other design software.
Sure, people can figure it out once they tried it, but majority of them will move to another software that has familiar experience out of the box.
When people asking me to install GIMP, I always change it to this layout, making it more familiar to another software like Inkscape, Krita, Affinity suites, Photoshop (and other Adobe software), etc.
Next GIMP 3.0 release has huge update to its UI and function. You should check it out.
Pretty much anyone outside Western area will think GIMP as cool branding, or at least neutral.
Let’s remember that language is diverse and even English itself is different between area.
If Indian English or Singaporean English speaker force every English speaker to adhere to their standard, everyone would be mad.
…I think the previous comment is mistyping LMMS software to LLM.
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.
Ever meet Northeast Indian? Indian people skin tone is incredibly diverse.
Considering Linux have 15% marketshare in India, I’m pretty sure the curriculum already cover what open source is.
GIMP 3.0 will be released this year, as far as I remember. (I already using the final test version for 3.0).
Integration with DeepL API like Misskey would be cool!
Local social media is different from bigger social media platform.
Those big social media generally are American/Western-centric. Sure, you can find local community on them, but their moderation system are often still Western-centric.
You’ll surprised on how often other language being moderated (deleted/removed) because it mistaken as hate speech. For example, word that in certain language has neutral meaning, but mistaken as offensive in English.
Also, local social media often designed to local culture. Xiaohongshu and Plurk are the primary example. Entirely unique UI and user experience.
Even fediverse also this cultural-focused software. Take a look on Misskey (a Japanese-made fediverse software), it primarily designed for Japanese internet culture, which entirely different from Mastodon or Pleroma.
Even Misskey is allowing exact audio object type.
ActivityPub is not designed for real time chat and communication, I believe.
There’s Matrix and XMPP protocol, but upcoming MLS protocol (which backed Mozilla, The Matrix.org Foundation, even Meta) looks more complete, feature-wise.
