  • But if they were doing Asahi Linux for fun as a hobby, and if it isn’t fun anymore for a variety of reasons, then you really can’t blame them.

    I have 0 knowledge about this project, so my statement here is just a general statement.

    But if a developer collects donations for promising something, then this is not just “for fun”, but they do have a moral obligation to try doing a good job.

    It seems they overfullfilled their obligations (but all I know about it, are the words of the developer). So, as said above, this is a general statement.



  • I was actually just adding more criticism. They obviously negated that people can have more than one native language. There is a lot to criticize on that presentation. I’d file it under “Data can be ugly” tbh.

    On the other hand, doing this “cleanly” is imo nearly impossible. The language situation is way to complicated to present “the demographic of languages of the world” in a single graph without oversimplifying and misrepresenting stuff.


  • Some of the missing are left out languages. E.g. there are ~200 million speakers of turkic languages, but they only cited Turkish with ~71 million. Amd they didn’t include a single Bantu language. There must be more than 300 million Bantu speakers.

    It is also kind of weird that they give numbers to the tenth part while using wild estimates. Turkey has 85 million inhabitants and up to 10 million native speakers outside of turkey. There are no official ethnicity numbers from turkey as ethnicity is not registered. Also no one knows how many turkish speakers exactly love outside of turkey. But they give us numbers to the tenth part? The situation will be similar for the other languages.
