The biggest demographic shifts taking place in Japan are the country’s aging population and the surge in the number of foreign residents, and there are actually a few age-related quirks involved in that second development too. Unlike some other nations, […]

White text on black background in a table with 4 rows and 3 columns. White border lines for cells. Font Normal Bold Tunga ಮೊ ಮೊ Kedage ಮೊ ಮೊ Nirmala ಮೊ ಮೊ (but wrong glyph)

What the actual font? Bolding outrageously changes glyphs? 😮

(Kannada text "mo" in 3 fonts. Bolding the text in Nirmala Text font in MS Word changes the glyph to something non-existent in Kannada.)

A screenshot of the Google Cloud users Preferences/Languages pane The date options are: March 14, 2015 14. March 2015 2015. March 14.

Google, what are these absolutely cursed date format options!??

Just give me YYYY-MM-DD 😭

I literally have to count out the month names on my fingers since for a decade+ I have lived in a world of Japanese dates (numbered months) and SQL timestamps 😭
