     @CumskinFoidPuncher69420 Some of the people I know who have these IoT stuff (mainly smart TV, Amazon Alexa, and Tesla) are actually kind of computer savvy.
     Not really programmer-level, but more somewhere between "I know how to use the terminal"-level and soydev-level.

     Imagine having your service life cut off because you said 'No' to a tranny, that's the world they want us in.

     @ryo "I’m so glad that Japan is such a technologically backwards country!"
     I heard that a lot of people in Japan still don't use credit cards, and that there are still pretty old computers being used in many places because they work. Just seems like a place that doesn't like unnecessary change, so evil shit has to be implemented my more slowly, while the west has embraced this cancerous mentality of changing everything all the time for no reason because it's SO MODERN.
     
     I remember watching Game Center CX and realizing that Japan was still using fax in the late 2000s (or was it the early 2010s?). I thought that was pretty based. And I know that it's still used in the 2020s too. The downside is that from what I know, computers never got quite as big as in the west and a lot of people basically skipped that and went straight to Satanphones. Normalfags in particular. I'm sure that all the cool people still used computers.
     
     Did Linux get more popular, though? I think I remember a chart on 8/tech/ showing that the BSDs were a little more popular in Japan? I think because of better language support early on. Hell, even now, FreeBSD has Japanese in the TTY and Linux doesn't unless you use a framebuffer terminal emulator like fbterm, yaft or mlterm. Those can also display images, though (with the possible exception of fbterm?), which is neat. Works even on really old hardware: https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=BP8AIceWgxA

     @TerminalAutism Apart from loli frog, I heard literally nobody ever mentioning BSD at all (not counting macOS or iOS) before.
     Still, using Linux or BSD here really gets you considered like if you were from a completely different parallel universe or some shit, although distro's like Mint and Mankojaro are getting very slightly known these days, plus Red Hat and CentOS that have been used on servers here for decades, and now there's even a Japan-made Arch-based distro called AlterLinux that got quite a bit of attention.
     But still, you'll be pretty hard pressed to find any random stranger who has ever heard of Linux or BSD before if you'd walk around in real life and ask random people about it.

     @ryo When it comes to TVs, just get a projector.

     @ryo Yeah, I thought so, because for BSD to be even close to Linux in popularity, Linux has to be pretty unpopular. And I think BSD really is more even when it comes to popularity in Japan. Without looking, I have seen plenty BSD stuff in Japanese over the years. Also images of Emacs in Japanese, not sure what that is all about, but maybe it's because Emacs has its own input method engine? I don't know.
     
     And I saw random crazy things in general. Like all the libsixel stuff. I saw images like the ones here https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel for years and had no idea how the hell it was possible to have images in the TTY on really old computers, and run virtual machines inside of terminal emulators.

     @xianc78 @xianc78 @ryo Why not a monitor? I've been curious about the newer projector hardware, especially if the bulbs don't die out as much.

     @berkberkman @xianc78 I have a projector, but playing video games on it is too difficult.

     @ryo @berkberkman @xianc78 Definitely a thing that I wanted. I imagine that watching old (mostly anime) movies on a projector would be very cool. And old cartoons, like the Looney Tunes, that originally aired in movie theaters. It may still look better on a CRT, though, so I still need a giant 40 inch one that weighs half a ton.
