A bunch of pink ixora flowers that is so dense, that it has almost acquired a spherical shape. #BloomScrolling

These are the compliant ISPs which didn't allow access:
- Jio
- VI (Vodafone Idea)
- Airtel
I'm sure others have also followed the #ObeyInAdvance philosophy.
@mastodonindians

Vikatan website is not accessible from the multiple ISPs I've tried. Reason seems to be this offending cartoon. More info: https://m.thewire.in/article/media/vikatan-website-cartoon-press-freedom Laughable, as there are anonymizers to bypass such blocks. #MastIndia #Modia #Fascism @mastodonindians

Everything is going to be OK. None of this is real. Commerce, dieting, celebrities, Amazon, the concept of good and evil. There is only energy and entropy. Nothing we do has any more or less value than the gentle bee or a blade of grass in the morning sunlight. All of the world's of love and pain and hope and horror exist only in our own perceptions, one day to be swept away into oblivion. The very best human being holds no more value to the infinite void than the very worst. Our atrocities are our own. All victories, pyrrhic. Take comfort in the fact that we don't matter. We are matter. All one as we shift in and out of one molecular state to another. I eat the bread. I am the bread. As I was once a field of wheat and also the scuttering mouse. From nothingness we emerged, and to nothingness we shall return. And that, is why I don't think I should have to pay these parking fines, Your Honour.

@tante @bikubi Drupal have come out with an out-of-the-box offering which is supposed to not require any high level skills: https://new.drupal.org/drupal-cms. I've to admit that I've not evaluated how it fares vs WordPress.

@endali I've come across the Datamine software when I addressed clients from the mining industry in the 90s. Looks like they're still around: https://dataminesoftware.com/about/

@tillybridges We call them 'achappam'. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achappam

Dr. Parakala Prabhakar has an interesting take on the recent surprise electoral victories of BJP / NDA. The more you hear such things, the more you're convinced that the Election Commission of India is a sham. https://thewire.in/government/karan-thapar-parakala-prabhakar-election-data-maharashtra-surge-voter-turnout

When you're unkind to children, they don't stop loving you, they stop loving themselves.

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon & the Fediverse whether or not it's more popular than Bluesky.

#Samsung denies its workers the right to form a union in its factory in #Chennai, India. The elected local government is of no help either, taking sides with the corporate instead. Here's an informative interview with the leader of CITU, the trade union in question: https://frontline.thehindu.com/news/samsung-workers-strike-sriperumbudur-protest-citu-tamil-nadu-secretary-a-soundararajan-interview-labour-rights/article68736030.ece #MastIndia

@Nigel_Purchase This wiki page seems a bit old (from 2006) but seems to have been updated as recently as 2019. I hope it helps your search.

@mrchrisadams I believe Scribus is the Open Source competitor of Adobe InDesign, though I do not have much experience using either of them.

@vicgrinberg If the location is Hermanus (which is West of Cape Agulhas), then the ocean in question must be The Atlantic, not The Indian.

@nixCraft not really funny tbh. Users include ignorants and idiots. If they are, the community should be welcoming enough to educate them (if they desire) so Linux should be everybody-friendly.

This mentality is symptomatic of the toxicity that still resides in some FOSS projects.

@helenczerski There seems to be some issue with your instance (fediscience.org). I tried embedding another user account from the same instance (using the code generator in mastofeed.com), and got the same error. It works for my instance (drupal.community), which uses Mastodon 4.1.x. whereas your instance uses 4.2.7. Maybe the Mastofeed plugin is not compatible with 4.2.7?

Should Indian Outsourcing companies board the AI bandwagon? Not sure, but this is definitely a scaremongering article. #MastIndia @mastodonindians https://www.business-standard.com/technology/tech-news/here-s-why-india-should-look-back-300-years-to-learn-a-lesson-in-ai-124061000097_1.html

@tokyo_0 Your nationality is not important to this discussion. My point is that India (and maybe China) tries to excuse itself from commitments despite being one of the largest emitters. It uses widespread poverty as a cover. However, the poor do not emit much. It's rich Indians who do, and they should be made to pay. Cars need to become prohibitively expensive. Likewise with coal / fossil fuel based power. Development (whose?) which seeks to destroy forests, need to be shelved.
