Transcription:

A picture of a skinny female orc with the side of her head shaved. She wears an armless red dress and a black shawl, as well as matching red bracelets and a black choker with a gold heart at the front.

At the top of the image is the text "You may not like it, but this is what" in large bubble font

At the bottom of the image is a screenshot from the new D&D changelog, reading "• Orcs no longer have the Powerful Build feature."

And below that, the text "Peak 2024 D&D orc performance looks like" continues the bubble font from the top.

…well, no: sixth-edition core rules no longer support half-races, something-something-against-racism?..

Iirc it's more of a lexical change: until now, half-something automatically assumed the other half was human, making the human race central in the setting. To allow for more liberty, most (all?) humanoid species will become interbreedable and you can choose the traits from one ancestry or the other.

I haven't played enough pathfinder to be able to answer your question, sorry.
Also, I was wrong, see the other comment for correction.
