  • Next panel shows the sword surrounded by flames, angry scribbles, and those “menacing” kanji from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

    Little sidenote; those are katakana, not kanji.

    To give more context, they’re entirely different writing systems; kanji are words and verb-roots written in Chinese characters, katakana simply represent the sounds of loanwords and onomatopoeia. In this case the “menacing” part isn’t represented by a word with meaning but by the sound of rumbling thunder, writtem as ゴロゴロ (goro-goro). There is no dictionary definition for this, only sound, so they’re written in katakana instead of kanji.








  • From what I can see it mostly does ease of development better; it’s a completely new and rather lean codebase, and it’s seen as an investment in compatibility with graphical applications.

    Also, it has lock screens. X cannot do lock screens; it can have an app being full screen and pray to some collection of deities that nothing will come in front of it or that the fake lock screen won’t draw far too small, but it cannot natively do secure lockscreens that are guaranteed to work.
    So there, it does something much better: security.
