@wabbster correction: 5,00,000 detected cases. We don't really know how bad the situation really is. TPCC is reducing even though tests are increasing.

@vikram@mstdn.io people support BJP for exactly that. 'Vikas' and 'Gujrat Model's were euphemisms for this.
@tecoholic noticed it today only.
@wabbster and his mistakes are hindrance to governance only after 2014. Bajpayee and Moraraji desai never faced those hindrance.
@Sheenasing are u asking is evil a cat🤔 :blobcat:

It was just announced that https://mstdn.jp (200,348 accounts) and https://mastodon.cloud (59162 accounts) are shutting down at the end of June! that is more then 6% of fediverse accounts disappearing overnight.
I would like to do anything in my power to figure out how to prevent this from happening.

Given how the BJP govt. in India is pushing the mass surveillance programs starting from Aadhar to Aarogya Setu, it occurred to me that for such mass surveillance systems to work, i.e to gain mass among the masses, the masses first need to have the means to get into the surveillance programs.
Now think about what BJP govt. has achieved with the help of Capitalists to lay infrastructure for those programs.
1. Some BJP allied company wanted to capture this opportunity to produce and sell low cost smartphone called "Freedom 251" and they terribly failed and it has become a flagship scam under this govt.
2. Govt. favoured Reliance JIO over any other telecom operator because Reliance had the capital and potential to lay foundations for nationwide infrastructure.
2. JIO offered free Internet for a while to attract huge user base towards them. Once a particular threshold was met, they had successfully acquired monopoly over the market.
3. To acquire new SIM and JIO Lyf phones people had to use their Aadhar Number.
4. Demonetization forced people to get the taste of digital payments systems like UPI, Google Pay, PayTM, etc., so they would get used to it.
5. Too much of capital was redirected to Fintech companies to build systems that efficiently tracks the people
6. Use pandemic emergencies like COVID-19 as an opportunity to push another nationwide surveillance application called Aarogya Setu.
They are laying infrastructure for mass surveillance and they are getting there faster. They need feedback loops to keep the masses doped, all the data that they receive from all the above services is a powerful tool in the hands of this govt. to maintain the status quo.
We shall not go silent when #SurveillanceCapitalism grows in India.

@viv@toot.site No. The mother ges hungry by the time the eggs hatch because she doesn't eat while she is protecting the eggs. So if she is there when they hatch...She will eat her own kids.
That's why she leaves them when the eggs are about to hatch.
Good luck getting a snake catcher at this time.
@viv@toot.site not possible. Cobra's don't live with their kids. Must be some other species.

on what day did you reply to this poll?
@viv@toot.site we used to have loo where I live from mid-march. It's may and the temperature is low. We are even having rain.
@Dasbolshevik I can guarantee you that nothing will bury them now. I personally know people who believe that modi is taking great steps to save the country and muslims and poor people are out there to defeat him. It's demonetization all over again.
@Paridhigupta @pavi @wabbster @viv@toot.site pavi is right. He does seem concerned about social issues. But I feel that his view is that he is the only one who is really concerned and that makes him patronizing. So I am better off without discussion with him.
@Paridhigupta yea. Had an encounter with him early on when I came to mastodon. Thought it better to ignore him after a few of his senseless replies.

Everywhere far-right, neo-fascist movements are on the rise, you can find Steve Bannon helping behind the scenes, using his billionaire friends to fund them
Here he is heroizing India's far-right Prime Minister Modi, whose extreme BJP government has been dismantling democracy
