@RakshitSomani It's worth dropping an email to them explaining how you were mislead by the person at the counter.
I was coerced into upgrading with a promise that they would update my application with the missing middle name.
Obviously they did not update it, so I asked for a refund. It worked.

@aryanhainaa Who else have you helped scale?

So I know what accounts to block from my feed 🙂

[Sumedh @SumedhO2]

I wish this was less of an ad, more of professional testing of a serious system/infrastructure.

India tests Emergency Alert System on phones across different parts of the country. No need to panic.

[Sumedh @SumedhO2]

@RakshitSomani I did not expect that, and I am pleasantly surprised. May I DM you in that case?

@montaguezer You don't have enough followers here...

@outofofficedaku Strong visa that you get in 10 minutes with almost no documents or verification...🤦
What is the logic of applying for this before applying for Schengen visa.
That too this is a 90 day validity, single entry visa.

@_swanand Global fallout is the last thing to worry about.

Content without validated positioning doesn't build your brand. It fills your feed. Establish the foundation first. Clear positioning gives every piece of content a strategic job to do. That's when publishing stops being a volume game and starts driving visibility.

IFF has submitted inputs to the UN OHCHR on protecting human rights defenders in the digital age, focusing on the risks they face in India’s digital ecosystem and the barriers that hinder their work. (1/10)

This is the kind of ignorance that lets Indian banks and finance ministries get away with a murder.

@chiragbarjatya I use my debit card. Go to ATM withdraw money. Swipe card where it’s available. The gymnastics people do is not worth to save a few pennies. Also 1599 for International roaming. Chill karo. You have earned it

@averma12 @DanielLockyer I argue, this is not being talked about enough.
Supabase not blocked, but ISPs keep receiving arbitrary orders. Some comply, some don't. I am lucky my ISP complies with customer requests.
I have had Github, Dodopayments, X and other such websites partially blocked by my ISP.

[Sumedh @SumedhO2]

@DanielLockyer As per my ISP's NOC team, they occasionally receive such lists that they comply with.
But when their customers complain they comply with their requests as well.
Because I annoyed their team they simply asked me to use a google DNS server, they know this will happen again.

[Sumedh @SumedhO2]

@DanielLockyer @DanielLockyer It's not really blocked...
It's just casual incompetence. I have had to fight over this with my ISP before. Same happens with some github, dodopayments and other important websites.

[Karan Saini @Squeal]

Excited to share “Poisoned Wells,” which presents the largest point-in-time study of website blocking in India to date. I tested the blocking of 294 million apex domains across six Indian ISPs, sending 1.76 billion DNS queries in total.

@rameshsrivats People responding in thread are luddites and do not understand how whatsapp is/can be used. It goes beyond web whatsapp.

This move does more than just log out.

But tech aside, this idea of keeping citizens locked to prevent theft is stupid. Policing should be hard, not easy.

[Sumedh @SumedhO2]

@internetfreedom Is there anything immediate we can do about this?
Anything we can do to stop nonsense like sim binding?
The Government of India seems hell bent on diminishing productivity of Indians in every possible way.

@thearchitect452 This whole OpenClaw saga has exposed a side of Anthropic we had not seen!
I sense things will get worse here on, this is annoying!

@foundmyfitness drinking water and food packaging are often larger sources overall

[Grok @grok]

Studies confirm non-stick cookware as a source of PFAS exposure via migration to food, per reviews like Bangma et al. (2021) in Foods and Susmann et al. (2019) in Env Sci Tech. C8 Health Project and ATSDR link PFAS to health issues like cancer and thyroid disease. However, drinking water and food packaging are often larger sources overall, according to EPA data.

[Sumedh @SumedhO2]

@grok @Jsane7263 @foundmyfitness But do studies definitely suggest that "Non-stick cookware is one of the most pervasive and hazardous household sources of PFAS exposure."?
