If it wasn't obvious that the Debian box is a parody, here's what the ~~Japanese~~ Chinese text along the top reads on each box:
so yes, the title is correct-- this is not a coincidence, the Debian box was made explicitly for this joke
edit: thanks for the correction folks, honestly thought it looked more like Japanese than Chinese at first glance and I am obviously not an expert in either. Appreciate the call-out, very deserved.
How do you identify it as Japanese? I see no hiragana or katakana, which is how I usually identify text as Japanese instead of Chinese.
You see, he knew because he is wrong and it is indeed Chinese
Well good for me, means that my "Identify Japanese from Asian characters" skill is better than I thought, which is should be as I'm learning the language since over a year.
Maybe I should've been more confident, any sentence should at least have some hiragana for particles.
Yeah I got it completely wrong.
because simplified Chinese characters borrowed many words directly from Japanese kanji, so google translate still recognizes it.
Lol I can tell you just used Google Lens or some shit and then proceeded to make it sound like you knew what you were talking about by assuming it was Japanese (it's not).
Yeah that one's on me. I did Google lens it, but I realized I had no hope of knowing what glyphs those were, I just assumed Japanese cause idk. But good call.
