The implication wasn't that people have stopped knowing or using English. The implication was that much of the world, except Russia and her allies, suddenly has a much great deal of resentment toward the US.
I think this about wayland vs X11, where the wayland protocol is local only and remote access generally involves sending pixels as opposed to draw commands around (which, unless you have a very good network connection, is usually the better option anyway, pretty much every time I tried to use X11 over the network it was unusably slow. Wayland also doesn't exclude being able to have remote windows as opposed to a whole remote desktop using pixel-slinging, but I don't know if any actual implementations support that).
The world has sadly changed a lot in recent months.
