Ok. I admit I missed the label in the top right saying "Native Speakers (millions)"

Yes.

Fwiw Linux is way easier today than it was a million years ago. Honestly I find it simpler to use than Windows.

No no, 10 base 512 lines of code

It only says that below the main title, and from the wording it's also unclear if that's what it's actually intended to show or just the cutoff for a language being represented.

Like, it could be interpreted as showing L1+L2 speakers of languages with >50m L1 speakers

Looks like a voronoi treemap

This is not a standard box plot given you can clearly see many data points below what should be the min line in pretty much every category

The chunks are language families. Turkish is the only Turkic language which meets the cutoff; wikipedia says the second most spoken language in the family is Uzbek, but that only has 44 million speakers (native + second combined)

This is only showing native speakers so I feel like the title's a bit misleading

I don't think that's as Indian-specific as you think

They can connect via USB so you can do things like perform a clean shutdown when it loses power

Someone's trying to smash a stack

I don't recall it ever having been used to bring people back after they've been killed; usually it's only relevant in weird circumstances like when Scotty showed up in TNG

But what's the difference really

uBlock Origin is the one that used to be relevant, but their anti-ad-blocking pop-up has made the site unusable for me lately.

I'm sure uBO will eventually work again but for now, no dice.

That's the problem

It doesn't for me. Probably hasn't been rolled out to you yet.
