    Well, it makes sense. Canada still has a significant English-speaking majority. Even if Québec in isolation has a French-speaking majority, there's a very large incentive for Frenc…

    It is true that the proprietary player was discontinued years ago, but it is still usable, even on Linux. I installed it through the AUR package on Arch Linux, but it can also be i…

    He wouldn't be. AetherSX2 is based on LGPL-era PCSX2 code and license changes don't apply retroactively like that (otherwise, imagine if SDL changed its license to GPL and instantl…

    'Courriel' was coined by French Canadian translator André Clas, not by the Académie Française. The Office québécois de la langue française successfully promoted its usage in Quebec…

    The popular narrative seems to be that Yuzu had something to do and/or profited in some way from the Zelda Tears of the Kingdom leak, which isn't true. The Patreon-only Early Acces…

    I don't think the built-in tiling in Plasma was ever meant to go mucher deeper than what's in Windows. You're still gonna need to use extensions if you want full tiling, I think. T…

    This is not really true. The about:config flag you mentioned does add a button in the Settings page allowing the addition of custom search engines, but that's only because the inte…

    Only in some countries. It isn't taught in Canadian public schools, or at least not in my province (Québec). Education in Canada is mostly provincial, so it's possible other provin…

    In that case, could you clarify what instances of this you're referring to? The death of Citra wasn't really a deliberate action on the part of Nintendo, it was collateral damage. …

    Pretty incomplete. This seems to be missing a lot of my favourites, including Open Hexagon, Minetest, TheXTech, SuperTuxKart, StepMania and osu!. Libregamewiki has a more comprehen…
