Andhbhakts are already at it. Whataboutism at its finest when you look at their "arguments" and "points". Seriously, I wonder why so many people are so deluded?
Is the Cult of Personality really so strong with BJP? Seems like it.
Also, obs and opi are such useful services, I don't think it's possible to not use them once you've tried them. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed just gets so many things right that I'd recommend it to any person who's moderately familiar with Linux with how easy it's to use.
+1 for Tumbleweed. It's a rolling release distro without (most of) the hassle and YaST is a fantastic utility which you can use to do many things. Nice graphical stuff to help you configure things like backup. Never had any breakages so far with Tumbleweed :)
Heliboard would be my recommendation. Been using it for more than a year now. Started using it when OpenBoard was basically dead in the water and it was merely a fork rather than its own thing and I can safely say it's the best privacy friendly keyboard I've used. Tried so many, FUTO, FlorisBoard but I found Heliboard to be the best. If you want Swipe-to-type features then you can download a proprietary library from the github of Heliboard iirc and load it in the settings of Heliboard.
Oh and did I mention it's very customizable? Oh yeah. I think you'll love it, give it a try :D
Indian politics basically works on cult of personality atp and considering the trend of the last 20-30 years regarding which party formed the government, it feels like it's a dual party system in all but name to be honest.
Really ironic but also sad cause it shows the dysfunction of the Indian legal system, laws are there but proper enforcement is not and the distrust people have in the police is for a good reason. Laws are subject to the ruling party's will, it can be legal when it benefits them and illegal when it does not and the loopholes some of them have is another story unto itself lmao
Oh yeah I knew that, I thought another ban was enforced which made it nation-wide. My bad!
Strangely enough I can access Element's website just fine. I've heard it being blocked by some ISPs but my ISP hasn't blocked it (yet). I'm glad that the privacy conscious and open source crowd in India are aware of and use F-Droid so this stupid and illogical ban (which I've known about since December of 2023) is easily circumvented. Funnily enough, BJP's hold over the Indian people seems to be loosening because of some really poor decisions taken by the government after they won last year in the elections, especially with taxes. Satisfying to watch them slowly crumble.
Oh trust me, so many Indians blindly follow what the government says. Remember when ProtonMail was under the threat of being banned because some dumbfuck used PM to send bomb threats to schools in Chennai? Yeah I remember when that happened, I went through so many news articles covering this and so many comments on those articles were in favour of the ban with the most stupidest reasons possible and logic that exceeds human comprehension. It's scary.
That is very concerning. I always chuckle to myself whenever I hear this "terrorist" pov thrown around. Like, okay? So many things are used by terrorists, let's just ban them all! It's like when a bill shows up in the US with the aim of "protecting children" (read: increasing surveillance and taking away your privacy)
Btw if you don't mind me asking, which state are you from? I'm from the North and I've not heard of this till now. Would love to know. Stay safe out there man, India is going through a lot of shit right now.
Wait wait wait when did Element get banned? I did not know this. Also you're right, these politicians are faaaar from understanding how Open-Source works or even how software works lol, this is just pathetic at this point. Also the traffic stops point, when did this start happening? and in which states? This is scary and extremely concerning.
Indeed! We had these IRS vans visit semi-regularly and it helps a lot in reducing the number of mosquitoes roaming around. Hell one IRS van visited just last week haha. Love to see news like this! Especially when I saw this happen in front of my eyes :p
Strange though, I've never had issues like this with flatpak.... It might be possible ofc that it is flatpak but I suspect it's the theme itself that's faulty.
Thanks for providing a solution btw!
