Visuals are 95% looking like real. You cannot doubt it's AI. In the past month, I'm coming across so many AI generated photos and videos that are 95% or at times 100% looking real! At this point, the only way you can distinguish is with something ridiculous in the video!

Kannada will not survive by wishing and organising events. Kannada survives when Kannadiga survives. When Kannada people have opportunities to survive and flourish.

Replying to @pnamblat
@pnamblat I realised that "muthumani" song has traces of "oh iniya" (janma janmada anubandha) and "Hrudaya rangoli" (pallavi anupallavi). Especially the line "vanakiliye" is so similar to "oooh iniya".

The most overwrought name change while maintaining brand was VJTI. Victoria Jubilee was unacceptable. So they created an entirely new honorific for Jijabai who was called just Jijamata or Jijau until then. They coined Veermata Jijabai to keep the VJTI brand. 😂

Instagram censored our own post, a cartoon by @aaaaadvik showing a stand-up set by Pulkit Mani. The post also carried an update on the copyright case we’re fighting for Pulkit pro bono in the Delhi High Court. This is part of a pattern. MeitY’s advisories of 8 and 10 October pushed Meta towards “enhanced due diligence.” Since then, automated takedowns have been the biggest category of requests for help we’ve received.

Leave that Rashmika alone. If if if only people had shown the same interest and diligence to hold govt accountable for the lapses at least with regard to women's rights, lot of bigger problems would have got solved.

Is it too much to ask for a good PDF reader that can "reflow" the text from the PDF files? I'm sure we can instruct the app on how to recognise a single paragraph. Acrobat Reader does have a "liquid mode" , but that one isn't very good.

Brown as a colour is so underrated and overlooked. Coffee. Chocolate. Rich soil. Leather. Tree bark. Autumn leaves. The pages of old books. Brown eyes. What a lovely colour.

Do we have any govt libraries that store CDs, vynils, microfilms, negatives? I know that state archives store such materials.
when people talk about the importance of keeping physical media alive why is it always commerce driven and we never talk about the importance of the public library

Suggest a small, nice tab for the purpose of reading. Tight budget 😄 ... No need of pen and keyboard and no need of 4g /5g

Please 'look' for better 'spec'ification if you want to see a spectacle from your eyes!
Lenskart specs become very loose after a few months of use.. Anybody else experiencing the same issue? Any other suggestions for good and sturdy spectacle frame brands?

Morning morning walking in a green park, listening to Ilaiayaraaja's album "how to name it". CLT - "chamber welcomes thiyagaraja". What more can I ask for?

The government has discontinued (for now) selling vehicle data to private companies. Happy Dussehra!
On 22 September 2026, IFF filed RTI applications with MoRTH and NIC asking who has access to VAHAN, SARATHI, e-Challan and PUCC data. NIC’s reply of 16 October discloses that 25,314 credentials were issued to private entities and that 17.08 million queries were run through them in 33 months. It also says private sharing was discontinued from 1 October 2026 on MoRTH’s directions, a decision we have found announced nowhere. (1/8) Read More: internetfreedom.in/who-reads…

Philosophy ideas that are most important as of now (I feel) -- Descartes' idea "I think, therefore I am" -- thinking beyond binaries -- postmodernism: Personal is political, normal is not normal, no one meta narrative, knowledge not neutral but tied to power, subjectivity.

It's all about conditioning. People have been conditioned to think: - in binaries - extremes - either full liberty or full restrictions - no nuanced thinking - no solution for problems - monarchy was better - strict rules solve all problems End result: autocracy is good!

I think I just witnessed an advertisement on WhatsApp from Nestasia! First time for me.

Using phones with speakers and disturbing fellow passengers may attract fine and imprisonment says Southern Railway! Big relief, if implemented strictly. And if these notices are pasted on every train bogey. KSRTC has implemented this pretty well. Cc @anjalihegde

It’s absurd how some Northie with a blue tick wanting to make some money off Twitter reverts to bashing local culture & language every fortnight and people lap it up like noobs. Ignoring should be the only answer to rage bait. Do not waste your energy on trivial matters.
