I will be back. I know I just created my account, but I have to study and stuff. Good night vietnam

  • So by the time I got a reliable x86 laptop in hand, Linux felt more normal to me than Win 8.

    Know and respect this feeling, I am using MX Linux and have a very customized panel, settings and shortcuts. It's home, even if it were to be wiped out, I would still put in all the effort to reinstall it.

    But, I gotta admit, when Windows works as intended, it's good for being productive and I technically should be learning how to use Windows properly as my work requires me to :')

  • We are free. We are GNU. We are linux.

    Amen!

  • .” I might come and use it time to time, but only when absolutely necessary

    I get that!

  • I think it has cloud connectivity and it's gonna require me to login online (if I am not wrong) Feels hard to pirate

  • Wrong community. This is for open ended questions and discussion, not for asking for help.

    Ohh... I am sorry, will delete it then, any community suggestions for this?

  • The caste system has been around forever

    Yeah, I guess we can trace a lot of this behavior to that. Good catch there. "Some people are more equal in others" even after the constitutional gave everyone "equal" rights.

    British colonialism bad.

    I don't know! I see many of my rich friends desperately flocking to Britain and people in India being tribal as hell that I am beginning to think maybe British rules would have suited us better. i.e., I want more free-speech in this country, I want more freedoms and better legal system in this country. The legal system in UK is objectively better than ours in many ways, I won't mind that tbch with you.

  • where some people are more equal than others

    Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.

    British colonial influence

    I am not sure how different India would have been without that. But I would rate British Colonial Influence with 1 stars, I would not recommend it if you are non-White or American.

  • rather, law enforcement as a whole needs to be reformed and worked heavily upon so the laws sincerely get executed and implemented (maybe then the people won’t be as intimidated).

    it's the culture, it won't change even if it supposedly changed in the law.

  • thank you!

  • Um, we make fun of our authority figures but also believe the worst of them

    How do you behave with them when you face to face with them? i.e., How do you communicate with them? Behind backdoors, things are normal here too (i.e., we don't respect them, unless they are a charismatic politician)

  • no joke dude, I hate this. Indians (including me) become slavish when we encounter authority. I need to change this in myself or leave! This is too fucking gloomy! It's like our bones melt and we become liquid! ughh...!

  • hard working but not especially skilled

    Terrible education and bad priorities doomed this country. Having a billion people is useless if they are not well-educated. I know this tale way too well, this is the reason why people who can leave this country do leave it and most who can send their children abroad for education do send them there.

    Fuck! who am I kidding, I will make sure my kids study abroad, the education in this country won't improve anytime soon.

    edit: Good observation there!

  • I don't understand why people are downvoting you, you are right!

    I don't like people taking credit for something that happened in the past (they had nothing to do with it) but you are right in stating that.

  • hav darr yhou!? tbh I am working on improving my English much much more, I love the literary works and the poetry and I don't want my English to be a constraint while trying to read those works which require a higher level of English knowledge.

  • It felt predatory. I didn’t feel safe, I felt uncomfortable, I felt I was a freak and an oddity

    I feel no connection to this culture whatsoever, I would happily follow your cultural norms if ever am lucky enough to visit the West, so you are not offending me, and I appreciate the honestly too :)

  • Talking of tech support, I must mention that your McAfee subscription has expired and at a low cost of $40 you can get lifetime access :)

  • for good reason, there are people who (do support/and are) the Nazis . Hey, I know the attack on Ukraine was unjust, but you can't ignore this

  • such as how much of the world is making sacrifices to stop buying gas from Russia but India’s just undermining their good intentions for profit

    I might disagree with most things this government does, but I can't deny the fact that's something overwhelmingly popular with Indians (including me)

    We literally have people suffering from malnutrition in this country, people who still die of hunger, you can't expect us to not buy cheap oil from Russia. Sorry, we will buy oil from everyplace where it is cheap, we can alleviate suffering of our own people by money and we will try to do it as best as we can.

  • I know there is innovation but nothing major springs to mind

    There is NO INNOVATION. There are no discoveries happening here. R&D budget and the budget for education is peanuts, there isn't much innovation happening in India and the innovation that does happen, happens in handful of universities by students who could not afford to move out to a better country which would fund their research.
