Think this is because I just updated fonts-noto-color-emoji?

Well, in any event, this is an outrage I shall not stand for! 😉

EDIT: Well, this is what happens when you aim for Vietnamization, I guess. 🤷

EDIT EDIT: Using the menu editor on Linux Mint Cinnamon, you can usually edit the comments for an app by clicking on its preferences, and ironically I was doing that to mark the apps that are US-based with the flag as a reminder to find alternatives to them!

Historically very true. Nobody ever was glad they invaded Vietnam

I've neglected diacritics for too long.

Look at this, it's a whole form of wordplay for Vietnamese speakers.

Did you not get the memo? Also, Miami will be renamed to St. Leningrad soon.
