- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? in the future:
I can’t even have 5 tabs open even if I try. I always close a tab when I am done with it.
- Comment on WhatsApp appears to have ads now. Good thing I don't really use it anymore. 4 days ago:
Been getting them since 2016. Whatsapp is like the default online business platform for almost all small to medium size businesses. (at least in India) That’s when Meta decided to bring the Whatsapp Business app.

The ultimate 2 is over 100$ more expensive than the ultimate c wired and 50$ more than the official Xbox one. (All of this in rough ₹ to $ conversion) Interestingly, I just searched Amazon and I had to scroll down quite a bit to find the 2c wireless which is actually cheaper than Ultimate C wired (at 81% discount like wtf?!), so now I might go for that one. Thanks.
- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks. Unfortunately this one’s on the expensive side and I am not a hardcore gamer. I think I will go with the ultimate C wired as it is in my budget as well as seems to work with Linux (atleast via steam; got mixed reviews with Lutris from some folks in the comments).

Does 8bitdo work well with Lutris? I saw a video posted 5 years ago where you had to add Lutris to Steam and launch it from there for the controllers to work.

Well I have never used any controller or a console before. For almost 20 years I have been a keyboard+mouse guy. So for me, a plug and play controller would be nice. Bluetooth is not a priority for me rn. Given that as well as all the advice in the comments, I am leaning towards this one.
- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I was looking at that as a lot of folks mentioned the brand. The wireless is super expensive, even more than the original xbox controller. But the wired one is literally half the price.

It used to be a crime until 2018 until the supreme court ruled against it. But it is still a stigma.

Tell this to my family who thinks it is the most revolutionary piece of technology ever created and shun me to speak out. :(

I think maybe because majority of the popular channels are either Bhakti Channels, News Outlets or this bullshit. And they just want people to get hooked to the constant dopamine from religious propaganda, Godi Media’s political propaganda and Attention capitalization of Sex Deprived people in a country where sex is a Taboo. These are the factors that help them strengthen their position in this country. You can see it on other Meta Platforms as well. Most of the content over there is similar.

Ikr. At this point I won’t even be surprised if it is some fat ass uncle who is into pedos handling this shit who shits his RSS-BJP (nazis of India) propaganda to others.

Honestly… I don’t even know. Looking at the quality of images most of them seem fake channels — the original images seem to have been scraped from personal FB/Insta or some malicious app on someone’s phone that has full gallery access or maybe ex-boyfriends making their lives a hell. But some of them… yes, they seem Onyfanish type accounts who later start promoting some small brands to make a buck. Most of these channels seem to come from small towns and tier 2 cities.

Just use condoms and don’t hookup with random people. No pills needed for any gender. They are harmful.

Privacy, user control and consent means nothing to these companies.

His fingers look unnaturally long. Unless the white board is new, there are no signs of previous smudges. White boards are smooth surfaces, so we should also see reflections in there. The bridge as — pointed out in the thread — looks super wonky. There should be taller buildings as well as seen in the image below. Image

- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 2 months ago:
Eating beef (or any meat for that matter) isn’t harmful but “excessive consumption” of “industrially produced meat” is. And you shouldn’t cut out meat from your diet — our bodies need those nutrients.
