… and some of them have social anxiety …
It’s prob necessary to do something, even new ICE vehicles & new fuels are not the cleanest in India, but old ones prob really need to go, especially in a country with such pollution problems.
How to achieve that & why not boost public (city) transport instead, etc & why they decided to go this way can def be questioned - but that’s in all nations & at the end something still gets done.
I thought the exact same thing!!
No.
Anyone with a platform can do that.
(And from the little bits I’ve seen, mostly over memes & various news bits, the quality is questionable. Just don’t follow the whims of influencers, it’s not the correct way forward imho, it just inevitability leads to or spreads enshitification.)
^ historically/statistically there must have been a sailor serving in some navy with the nickname Moonshine.
But also just for fun:
Yeah, I was almost OK with the plot, they (re-)set-up the story fairly nicely, for a moment it had potential.
Spitroasted between two queens!!
Zomg, someone cupped the (normal) cake!
Why did they choose the dried bird poop topping tho?
One of these days …
0, 3, 18, … whatever the number I better not negotiate.
Wonderule!
Not to be confused with wanderules.
Yes, they seem like the cheapest of China brands (if I see correctly, the electroplating is peeling/getting scratched off??).
(Pictured is prob not the cheapest price available - and also it doesn’t mean companies arent rebranding these & selling them for 20× the price.)
In jail.
Also everyone who approved it.
Unless no such laws exist in the lawless country this is from.
Sometimes?
Whenever I get the chance!
That’s is not what the problem is, lol, not by far. Nothing is a problem if you look at it in a short enough timeframe.
I’m not complaining about the few more people that discover Linux, I’m complaining that we are systemically introducing the same problems we want to get away from (“that the price is high/threatening”, especially now that desktop Linux is on a steady rise & we need such “”“endorsements”“” the least).
What? With influencers it’s what is monetisable in any current situation, what gets more views (and more money with that via various channels - atm “Linux” gives him revenue via selling ads etc to more people, if you offer him more money than that, he will sell whatever you say, that’s his profession). If a megacorp wants to get in on it they freely can. At any point. But it would be a lot harder to do that if we don’t/didn’t have professional ad-people (no background, just as the money winds go) intertwined from the “start”.
Financial power of a/any megacorps dictating foss just leads to monopoly again (eg how Google took over & is now closing more and more the “Android Linux”). And it makes it harder for projects to get support from “the people” vs “what is the most monetisable for some private entity”.
Overlooking that is akin to saying scalpers help redistribute the product. Technically, sure, so “what are you complaining abut, so cyclical.”
Talking about foss has literally become marketable. That’s the only reason professional influencers are talking about it now. And people listening to them will listen to whatever they say next too. And that (“money talks, bullshit walks”) is a bad future for foss which should be by it’s nature free of such incentives bcs it just becomes another megacorps monopoly.
Going into foss & financially rewarding corps that aren’t dedicated to open principles is just the current market situation (MS & Google) but with sparkles. It inevitably leads to more inequalities.
