Github is more than just git. We need decentralized solutions for associated services and persistently online repos.

The bad laws were in place even before Imran - so that isn't unexpected. However, only a democratic government affords any chance of revisiting it. Arguing that the situation is the same now is completely disingenuous.

It's unlikely in the next 5 years anyway. The "emissary of God" won the elections, but lost the absolute majority. He is now the leader of a coalition government, with a stronger opposition to match.

I don't think that he can unilaterally order a nuke strike. It is decided by a command with a no-first-use mandate. Besides, he isn't the head of the forces. It's the president.

You don't need to mention them by name.

More likely that the giant snake is in a coil around you and with every breath you exhale, you realize that you can't inhale back in. This goes on until you lose consciousness due to asphyxiation. You won't be awake or perhaps even alive by the time the snake decides to start swallowing you.

Narcissists by nature are attracted to power - no surprises there. But remember that India is an electoral democracy. The people voted him into power. An appropriate comparison is that narcissists are like the flame and the voters are the moths. Voters are going to be burned by their choices (sooner than later) - they don't know it just yet. Just like the moths.

You seem surprised. Are you not familiar with his political career?

I switched nearly two decades ago after I used a freeware network monitor on Windows and realized that it was making dozens of silent TCP connections online. Some were to Microsoft, while others were to unknown third parties. Just imagine your personal machine doing this!

Linux is actually easy to use these days. Installation is often easier than windows and hardware just works most of the time. Despite that, people have a habit of exaggerating the difficulties in using Linux or BSD. They very often feel like excuses to avoid checking it out.

The rest of the world should sanction these US-based thugs and shame them constantly on the media. It's infuriating to see them commit all these atrocities and then smugly pretend to be the heroes.

Reminds me of Roger Boisjoly who desperately objected to launching space shuttle Challenger in cold weather. Managers struck again that day.
