Ever since Nova Launcher was acquired by Branch, many users have had privacy concerns.

Truman never wanted that. He flew around knowing that his nukes gave him an advantage over the USSR. From this paper, it is clear that Truman wanted to maintain an atomic monopoly and as for Joint Chiefs of Staff, they didn't want to share the nuclear secrets with any organization including the UN.

It's quite old, I think. Ideological foundings were around 1970 only though the party only officially made in 2004. The then PM called it the biggest threat to India's internal security when they spanned multiple states in their fold. Their influence has reduced significantly but they are still active in couple of states.

A bit of context, India has basically three communist parties, two of which compete in the democratically electoral form(and one even governs a state currently) and third is Communist Party of India(Maoist). The latter is officially banned by the state and there have been numerous pitch battles between government and the Maoists in the past.

Get your history correct atleast. East India Company was in charge of India until 1857 and squeezed it dry. It was basically an early blueprint of modern day capitalism and imperialism.

Youtube Music's interface is a cluttered mess and I much preferred the spartan UI of Google Play Music. It took much time for the former to reach feature parity as well. Oh, and now they shutdown their dedicated Podcasts app in favor of merging It into YT Music. It is a disappointment, to say the least.

Did you intend to say GNU/Linux?

[-] doors_3@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 7 months ago

No wonder. Ubuntu was also my first nix distro though I later moved to it's 'parent' Debian and dual booted it back in the day with Cent OS before the latter was discontinued.

Wasn't there a post earlier detailing country wide metrics? I think India had quite a lot in there with nearly 15% market share in the country. I wonder what is the most used distro for desktop users.

Since Distrowatch only tracks clicks for that page, it creates a positive feedback loop for MX Linux(which was top of the list last time I saw), I think. Hardly I have ran into anyone online who uses that. Meanwhile, I know dozens of people IRL who almost correlate Ubuntu with coding and have it installed but this is purely anecdotal.

Remote Monitoring. Reads more like something a malware would do.

When you fail the Captcha for the seventh time in a row judging or not whether that tiny spike in that box contains the object or not; you start to question your sanity.

Many popular sites have dropped it. New sites often don't support it in the first place. In cases they do, it's a truncated version. Only a snippet/topic is visible and rest relinks to a browser. It is still better than nothing but the halcyon days of RSS are gone, IMO.
