I hate Messenger, but unfortunately a lot of people in my circle use it. The only way I remember to reply is when my Mac gives me a little red number in the Dock when there are unread messages. I’m expecting grumpy friends who’ll complain that I never reply anymore 😅😅 Won’t a 3rd-party web-wrapper pop up? Otherwise I’ll have to make my own with Safari’s "Add to Dock".

It's simply ridiculous that Microsoft doesn't follow the Unicode standard and still hasn't added flag emojis to Windows 10 or Windows 11. I'm glad they're losing market share year after year on that crap they call an OS 😜🥳 Today Windows sits at about 31% of the market. Android about 41%. iOS about 17% and macOS about 8%. Linux about 2% of the market. (figures from 2023)

GitHub patch gives complete flag emojis to Windows 10 and 11

Fix missing Unicode flag emojis on Windows 10/11: install this patch and get complete flag emojis (e.g. 🇻🇳🇺🇸🇯🇵) in all apps. No waiting — fast, simple and effective.
