Neither of them will have any significant impact we are all already fucked.
Hyderabad also a fun fact Indian supreme Court has ruled that WA messages are not admissible in court.
Apps were banned only in Jammu and Kashmir
It’s true Indian government has banned Element and other Apps and forced Signal, WhatsApp and other such apps to have a local representative so that they can arrest someone and force their will. But there is one silver lining, it is that these politicians don’t fully understand how open source software works. So just banning Element app doesn’t do much I can switch to schildiChat or just download element source code and change the name and logo and boom I’m back in.
And also most of their app bans are just requests sent to Google play store and Apple App store, You can always download from FDroid or from other sources
and there is no real way they can enforce these stupid laws.
They started going through chats on traffic stops, but there are ways to avoid that also
If you are interested and want to support then you can donate to https://internetfreedom.in/ or if not possible just share the word.
I’m pretty sure Linus dissed on RUST, but then again he disses on everything and everyone.
OK I agree that everyone needs to do their part to help environment, but let’s say if OP has extra 10k to throw around then it means one of two things they are already rich and climate conscious so they would already have solar panels and what not.
Or they got those 10k from lottery/inheritance or something in which case he can switch to more energy efficient appliances and stuff but still most of the appliances brought in this century are already somewhat environment friendly like yes there are CFCs in some refrigerators but it is just few grams and it is enclosed it will only damage environment when disposed improperly. There is a cool statistic I read a while back, if a single human being becomes completely carbon neutral since birth in 70years of his life span however much CO2 he stopped from entering environment is equivalent to CO2 emitted by energy industry in 1second so yes, unless OP is a CEO of Exxon or BP or some other evil corp they can’t have any significant impact.
I saw that few ppl suggested to donate that money towards organizations pushing for climate reforms and I’ll be honest I didn’t think about that, but then again, We already broke 1.5°C record last year and we briefly touched 1.9°C so yes we are all doomed and OP will be better off enjoying those 10k by doing what they like.
And what you ars saying like
You need to understand that their are a lot many people for whom 10k USD could be a life changing amount of money, and the only thing they can do is feel bad that they can’t do their part. My own salary is barely above 10k USD and many of my peers are making less than half of that.
