India is in the midst of a groundswell of millions of people in protests across the country. The capital, Delhi, is a major epicentre. Mainstream media has completely sold out. They are not to be trusted even one iota, Other social media, despite accounts being blocked, are sharing both horrifying factual videos as well as inspiring goosebumpy material. One is attached here #india #protest #democracy #antifascist #students #youth #jantarmantar #cjp #corruption #song #music

Ironic Today's newspaper - The Times of India - Chennai Edition (4th July 26) News : Meta hosts paid child abuse ads on Instagram. There is image of Zukerberg wearing Meta glasses. A few pages later there is an ad for Meta glasses, & a guy stares at the viewer. I am sharing this sick irony because of this post https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/116857858738669351 & how we cannot turn a blind eye at the depraved, souless , inhumans who control so much of the media &...

Travel Part 2 | Update After a break the next phase is New Delhi - Haldwani The approach to New Delhi Railways Station Paharganj side is an unholy mess. Fairly sure the 24 x 7 traffic jam is some well thought out strategy to frustrate passengers by making them walk annoyingly large distances over broken &amp; obstructed paths. It is a capital horror. The access to the platform via the default over bridge is constricted by a lift. #travel #trains #india #newdelhi #kathgodam #shatabdi

Small-hack/open-slopware Free/Open Source Software tainted by LLM developers/developed by genAI boosters, along with alternatives. *** Found it interesting to know what software I may be affected But as my friend says &quot;there&#39;s also just lots of expectations from foss developers who do this in their free time &amp; its a way for them to save some time&quot; https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware #microslop #slopware #genAI #L...

Always searching for a good cup of south India filter coffee. The best ones, of course, are the ones, made at home, in which the coffee is carefully chosen (grind and combination of coffee), meticulously brewed, hand mixed, &amp; lovingly served with a side of some tasty snack ( or not) The ones in the picture would be among the better ones available to buy. One is strong, another is medium. Also aesthetically pleasing. #FilterCoffee #Chennai #SouthIndia #Food #WoodlandsChennai #Coffee
