Population reduction will cause a lot of interim pain but might be what we need to increase the sustainability of the planet. In next 70 years, we might see a drastic reduction in populations of china and India as well. The lower human population will hopefully allow the planet to recover from the last 100 years uncontrolled resource extraction.

Yes. Rayalseema restaurants would be bio terrorism in the west ๐Ÿ˜‚. Even most Indians can't tolerate the piquency of that food.

I wonder if anyone's image has crashed from such highs to such pathetic lows. At the end of the day, it was all PR but he still had the admiration of many people just a few years back i.e before the Thai submarine fiasco. Now most people consider him a petulant child man with a massive fortune. The only good outcome of this fall has been a clear understanding that earning wealth is purely based on luck. It doesnt matter if it is millions or billions ,nothing comes due to our own genius. It is a combination of factors that result in wealth but it is mostly determined at your birth. May be this episode will humble others who might have taken a similar path due to their inexplicable wealth.

I doubt these trucks can be driven around in European or Asian roads. They seem so humongous. Even cargo vehicles which transport goods across the city are much smaller than these in India. Why are trucks so popular in the US? Does everyone haul things often? Are cargo trucks not rentable?

It is best to move to Firefox because fundamentally the chromium project thrives because of Google ,an Ad company. It is not worth using chromium derivatives.

I am from India. It was illegal to fly the flag untill a decade ago. It took a supreme court verdict to get the right to fly the flag in private residences. So it is not common at all. You would see government buildings and some schools hoist the flag every day. In my school it was every Friday. I have walked around suburbs in US and almost every house had a flag in their porch. Very big ones too.

Lets take the example of Reddit. Reddit could have kept its costs to the minimum and could have run the site with the ad revenue that came in. In fact they could have talked transparently about their opex and asked for a simple donation drive every now and then like Wikipedia. If need be, they could have removed silly GIF replies and other stuff and focused on text alone. However this would not let them become the next Facebook. That's what they wanted to be. At some point in their story was a choice to be forums 2.0 or get into a race to become a cash grab. Sadly they went for the latter.

I have used freetube on windows. I assume adblock is in browser context here, so freetube should skip the browser completely.

Jerboa has been good so far. Somehow the discussions on lemmy feels more engaging than on reddit. Might be because there are no bots regurgiating comments. But the lack of my favourite subreddits have helped my phone addiction ๐Ÿ˜‚ Hopefully this will be rectified soon ๐Ÿ˜‰
