I remember they added a "browser choice" screen for 5 years following an anti-trust case.
Not sure how successful it was breaking the already collapsing IE monopoly (and enable the already raising Chrome monopoly) though...
I don't play Japanese games in English, so I don't really know how bad it is.
But it reminds me to someone I knew who played Habbo Hotel, and he set his name as something like "PureWhiteDude", and they auto-censored it to "****WhiteDude".
So is/was "pure" a bad word in English?
Not sure, there are people actively looking for a pre-configured Linux PC.
And those who want to buy a Linux laptop for the purpose of installing Windblows will probably not even know how to do that anyway.
That's exactly what soydevs can't seem to understand.
Instead of having the mentality of "let's make something simple so we can then learn how to make quality stuff in the future", they have the mentality of "hey, that poor fucker already made what I want to make 20 years ago, so just download it as a dependency so I can make money as quickly as possible".
Never used the gambling mechanic myself, but I do hate the censorshit nonetheless.
It's just sad you need to resort to ROM hacks, mods, or uncensor patches in order to play games as intended nowadays...
So I try to install yay, but yay is not available in official repositories, so I install trizen instead.
So now I try to use trizen to install yay and then remove trizen again.
However, "trizen -S yay" invokes "Cannot do 'initialize' in Term::ReadLine::Gnu at /usr/bin/trizen line 724.".
So you download yay from Github.
In order to be able to download it, you need to install git and base-devel.
Doing so upgrades pacman before upgrading libcrypto, and now pacman broke.
Guess I should sell this laptop with GhostBSD or Devuan instead then.
Should probably go with Devuan, because buyer will most likely want to install trashware like Zoom, Discuck, Steam, and so on, none of which are available on BSD.
Apparently Korea banned it first, so gambling got censored in Korea only in Diamond/Pearl, then Europe banned it and it got removed there from Platina.
With HeartGold/SoulSilver only Japan had gambling, and from Black/White onward they just went like "meh, fuck it, we'll just censor it worldwide then".

寮If you need to have a Code of Conduct (cock) that isn't a meme and is reasonable, the only thing it should say is:
"By contributing code, you agree to respect the project maintainers' decission on whether to merge your code into the project or not."
That's literally all you need!
The rest is pure bloat.
It's perfectly fine if you guys refuse to learn Japanese.
What really bothers me are foreigners who choose to live in Japan, and won't even bother learning the language at all.
I think those are the ones that really should learn the language, or just find a different country where you can use whatever language you already speak.
On PC it's actually even easier.
Just sell the most censored version in 3rd party storefronts, and host uncensor patches on your own website.
And sell the uncensored version on your own website directly.
I was actually considering, in order to release Japanese-style gaymes in western countries, lots of censorshit has to be done because you could easily trigger lots of people over there.
So maybe it'd be smarter to just released localized versions, but only in Asia with localization being done in Honk Honk or Singapore (which have higher English proficiency), and let those who really want it just import it themselves.
Now with everything being region free, the massive downside is that now everything has to be censored for all regions.
Back then you would censor blood in Japan, cum in America, and gambling in Europe, but now you have to censor all 3 of them because "gloybol stendurds".
I don't think we can completely replace clearnet for darknets unless it starts getting used by everyone.
Things like watching videos (let alone streaming) is still extremely anal, takes like 3 days to watch a 30 second video, or hosting a gaming server on the darknet will render gameplay useless.
Also, most of the Tor exit nodes happen to be in western Europe whereas most of the I2P routers happen to be in Siberia, so to me I2P is faster than Tor, but for someone in Europe Tor will definitely be faster, and people in America, and even moreso in AUNZ and Africa are just out of luck with both.
