Wait, blocking subtitles of all things? TV shows and films often get entangled in copyright issues, which sometimes make them regionally available only, but subtitles! That's preposterous.
Ever since Nova Launcher was acquired by Branch, many users have had privacy concerns.
That is an incredibly low bar to judge any organization. There are multiple conflicts going around the world that UN has done nothing to do. When it comes to permanent members of the Security council, the UN is powerless. Heck, it is powerless if one of the permanent members decides to flex it's muscles somewhere else geographically either.
Also, no world war is also largely due to presence of nukes with nations. The concept of Mutually Assured Destruction prevents nations from going into full blown wars when 2 nuclear powers are involved.
Truman never wanted that. He flew around knowing that his nukes gave him an advantage over the USSR. From this paper, it is clear that Truman wanted to maintain an atomic monopoly and as for Joint Chiefs of Staff, they didn't want to share the nuclear secrets with any organization including the UN.
It's quite old, I think. Ideological foundings were around 1970 only though the party only officially made in 2004. The then PM called it the biggest threat to India's internal security when they spanned multiple states in their fold. Their influence has reduced significantly but they are still active in couple of states.
A bit of context, India has basically three communist parties, two of which compete in the democratically electoral form(and one even governs a state currently) and third is Communist Party of India(Maoist). The latter is officially banned by the state and there have been numerous pitch battles between government and the Maoists in the past.
Reds go green, Bastar Maoists run on solar power
Maoists in Bastar exploit stolen solar panels to power gadgets, aiding their mobility as security forces close in. The theft trend fuels the insurgenc
Get your history correct atleast. East India Company was in charge of India until 1857 and squeezed it dry. It was basically an early blueprint of modern day capitalism and imperialism.
Yes, there are many presets in the app whose wallpapers I don't care for either. One issue with the app failing to randomly change wallpapers could be the OS throttling the app in the background. If the app is killed for Battery saving reasons, I doubt it can do it's job.
I really like your home screen wallpaper. Do you have it's original source/ high resolution variant? Also, hello firefox user.
I also currently have one generated by Tapet as my wallpaper. On a tangent, the app seems to have undergone a rehaul in terms of UI, atleast on Android.
One can upload their own music to Youtube/Music's servers via their web client.
Youtube Music's interface is a cluttered mess and I much preferred the spartan UI of Google Play Music. It took much time for the former to reach feature parity as well. Oh, and now they shutdown their dedicated Podcasts app in favor of merging It into YT Music. It is a disappointment, to say the least.
No wonder. Ubuntu was also my first nix distro though I later moved to it's 'parent' Debian and dual booted it back in the day with Cent OS before the latter was discontinued.
Wasn't there a post earlier detailing country wide metrics? I think India had quite a lot in there with nearly 15% market share in the country. I wonder what is the most used distro for desktop users.
Since Distrowatch only tracks clicks for that page, it creates a positive feedback loop for MX Linux(which was top of the list last time I saw), I think. Hardly I have ran into anyone online who uses that. Meanwhile, I know dozens of people IRL who almost correlate Ubuntu with coding and have it installed but this is purely anecdotal.
I was just piqued that if third party forks might offer extra features, some of which if they overlap with Telegram's Premium offering, could be an issue. But I checked out couple of apps listed in this thread and they feel alright. I had confused a fork with a mod of the official app, the latter of which would certainly be a grey area.
I had been on Linux since 2016 when I finally installed Windows 11 on my newer shitty laptop which had a bug that was apparently unresolved no matter what distro or config I tried. But Windows' issues like it's famous update times, the modern distasteful UI(in my opinion) and inclusion of more and more features that the user didn't ask for send me back to Linux. And with Copilot being forced on users, I don't think Microsoft is respecting their customers choices.
Does Telegram actively enforce stuff against third party clients? Like if I use a third party client, is my account at risk of being banned?
I read the article but still can't wrap my head over what exactly the provisions are. The ministry itself says that the advisory is not legally binding as of now.
Further down, it says
In a tweet Monday, Chandrasekhar said the advisory is aimed at “untested AI platforms deploying on the India internet” and doesn’t apply to startups.
I know it started after Google's Gemini reportedly called the Prime Minister a fascist, well answered, which might have triggered it. But how are they distinguishing tested vs untested AI platforms and what about the startup exclusion thing?
