    I have no issue with the text size, I have an issue with enormous empty space around the text. It’s fine if it’s not perfect on a 21:9 display, but this wouldn’t look good even on a 16:9 display.

    I’m also fine with the text not taking up the entire width, I aggre that it’s less readable. But I think the window (not the text, the window) could utilise the width better.

    I say that the messages could be a little more spread out (i.e. my massages could be a little to the right while other’s a little to the left) and just like the left sidepanel appears and disappears when the window is too thin, more sidebars could appear to the right when the window is very wide.

    No, the People might just be stupid. You see, many people are gullible and get convinced easily by rallies of some rich politicians. Sometimes, they might even believe that one day they will be as rich as them, and so they see something good for the rich as something good for them. But, unless the people are threatened to vote, or the polls are manipulated, it’s still democracy

    “Democracy” has nothing to do with “free healthcare” or any of those things listed. Democracy only means that the citizens vote. They can vote for stupid/bad things but it’s still a democracy. Similarly, a dictatorship that does some good things is still a dictatorship

    Anyone who’s a bit inquisitive about what words means will notice that “transform” means “changing shape”, and that the teeth that look like dog fangs are called “canines”. At that point, “caniformia” obviously means “dog-shaped”.

    Specialistic terms don’t need to be easy for the layman, but to be explicative for the specialist. I can say that “a complete lattice is the generalisation of the power set of some domain” which is a phrase composed entirely of English words but if you haven’t studied anything about abstract algebra you don’t knkw what it means, but that is a phrase made for math students, not for any random guy.

    Also those Latin terms are literally international terms, a Russian biologist will say “Canis lupus” to an Icelandic biologist and they will understand. So you really have nothing to complain about. Just be glad that Linnaeus used an agnostic language for international terminology instead of using his native language (Swedish) like the anglophones do.

    P.s. you know that Mussolini had all commonly used foreign words and names translated to Italian? And to this day Italian children don’t study Francis Bacon and René Descartes, but Francesco Bacone and Renato Cartesio.
