Best feature is that they didn't rename Mastadon to M like some idiotic man child with mental issues.

They're keeping a stiff upper trunk.

Remains firm on not changing the name to "M"?

I thought that was a joke about Elon... hahahaha

I did not know they were considering it.

It was a joke about Elon and they were never considering it

What's the Belarusian thing about? Pretty specific and notable given world events. Are they trying to make a political statement?

Yes, I understand that.

I was just wondering why it's just the one (pretty rarely spoken) language. Usually you see more than one language added in software updates. And at a time when Belarus is sanctioned to shit because it's a puppet-state of a nation that is currently waging a horrific war of aggression that was completely unprovoked.

Like I said, just that you usually you see more than one language added in software updates, and was just wondering if there was some reason it was just the one this time. And why it was just that one.

Seemed like a political statement or something.

I think you're reading to much into this. It's a bugfix
