    Have r/India always been like this?

    Not my experience, I was banned there just for discussing my ban from /r/indiaspeaks. They are fine on /r/indiadiscussion as long as you slam the leftists on /r/india.

    Have r/India always been like this?

    You have too much faith in right wing it seems. The real reason is in any internet community eventually the extremist and loud people will come out on top. The guys who spend all day on the internet and are full of hate for the other side are the most motivated and they are the ones who become...

    Have r/India always been like this?

    Assuming your title is an actual question, I remember that sub was a pretty diverse place before 2014 or so. At that time politics was mostly boring and the sub was mostly 30% politics and rest memes, discussions, basically all of current Indian reddit scene compressed into one sub. That sub was...

    Revanced: possible successor to vanced utube

    They will probably remove it at some point and you won't even realise it's gone. Wouldn't use it unless there's a backup locally of everything.

    The "itch" to want to upgrade my computer - How to stop?

    Honestly if you have the disposable income just do it, nothing wrong with spending some money on a hobby you care about and which brings you happiness. When accounting for selling old parts, it's pretty hard to spend obscene amounts of money on an upgrade. Obviously only you know what your...

    Android Fastest way to do UPI payments with fewest taps?

    Yeah it scans it but doesn't open GPay or Bhim, you can just copy the URL. My phone is a Moto. Does your phone do this (open payment app automatically on scanning QR in camera app). Which brand is it?

    90K+ Best Value Upgrade from Macbook Air M1 16GB ?

    Use case matters a lot. If you are not sure about why you are upgrading you will most likely not get any benefit from an upgrade, as the M1 is still good enough for most tasks. In which areas is the M1 holding you back??

    What are your views on WFH for tech jobs

    You are describing the ideal situation for WFO, and I agree in that situation I would not mind going to office. However in most situations it's not that way. In my org most teams are spread out over 3 Indian cities and 2 more cities abroad. This is kind of inevitable these days. Very few...

    What are your views on WFH for tech jobs

    If WFH was even 1% less productive it would have been abandoned IMMEDIATELY after the lockdowns. Companies are able to get what they want out of their employees whether it's WFO or WFH. Now if coming to office is worth it for the employees, they will come, if not they will not (and they...

    How to prepare for a SIM loss/damage scenario??

    What do the service providers use to verify that you are the owner of the number?? My biggest concern is that my SIM is not even registered in my name, It's a really old number from 2000s. Airtel app used to show some random guy's name (I'm guessing the shopkeeper) and there used to be no option...

    How to prepare for a SIM loss/damage scenario??

    I've been thinking about what would happen if I lost my phone. Protecting your device, remotely locking it, and all that is possible and obvious enough these days, but what about the SIM card that we use to register for almost all services, especially critical ones like banking. Some of these...

    Zotac confirms Nvidia’s 32GB RTX 5090 on their website

    I suspect this will come out just in time for another mining boom. Crypto is about to have a good time as the new US administration will be very friendly to it.

    Narayana Murthy says Indian youth should work 70 hours a week

    India would have been closer to number one if the top tier of society actually invested in the nation rather than in buying property and going on vacations abroad. In the US their wealthy class created universities, hospitals, and other public institutions with their wealth. Very few of their...

    Android Which app do you use to get news notifications?

    That hasn't been my experience, I exclusively follow tech people on twitter, boring professors and startup founders, yet my feed is full of US conservative politics and culture war nonsense and 50% seems to be just Elon tweets. My main point is that all social media algorithms prioritise...

    Android Which app do you use to get news notifications?

    Ideologues by definition don't understand nuances. Social media algorithms don't promote nuance. They are for entertainment, good for finding movies, songs, videos you might like, but that method doesn't work for news, only creates echo chambers. Like I said this is the part where what you do...

    Android Which app do you use to get news notifications?

    They are not everything, sure, but they are also not useless. Labels exist because most thoughts that come in people's heads are not original, and can be placed on the left-right spectrum pretty easily. What you use the labels for, is a different matter. You can agree with the left on some...
