If you are the product designer of an appliance or toy and decide to not go with USB-anything for charging, but instead that little metal penis of any of 8 sizes, just know that I really hate you.

Occasionally I like to explore what weird things are possible to “rent” in the cloud.

Did you realize there’s a whole market for shared time on rare analog synths and audio equipment?

All remotely controlled by robots turning the knobs.

This is how techies are traveling in Bengaluru! 🏍️💻
Riding through narrow, broken alleys!
If you give such physical hardship to coders, the code will surely be sharp! 😅
Thank you @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @MALimbavali, at this rate, Bengaluru will move from 6th to 1st place among global tech cities!

Bengaluru footpaths are awful.

Meanwhile, Shenzhen takes action.

Citizens complain, infra improves.

Where is this efficiency in Bengaluru?

Why is India pedestrian-unfriendly?

Why can't things be fixed at scale?

[#YeThikKarkeDikhao @YTKDIndia]

Bengaluru Police were trained to manage traffic, not to shovel gravel.

But when BBMP & PWD sleep, cops are forced to fill potholes with bare hands.

When engineers fail, policemen become labourers. Shame on the system.

[Caleb @caleb_friesen]

I took a walk in HSR Layout recently.

Here's what I realised:

1. Footpaths are inaccessible due to encroachment

2. Inaccessible footpaths aren't maintained

3. Unmaintained footpaths become dumping spots

4. Dumping spots become toilets

It all starts with encroachment.

[#YeThikKarkeDikhao @YTKDIndia]

Three things we desperately need to fix:
— Open Littering
— Illegal Parking
— Pedestrian-friendly Infrastructure

None of these need CRORES or Mega Projects. Just a little bit of effort and intent. 🙏

[Prathu Baronia @devpraton]

I have release my first EP! Would love to know your thoughts.

Open dumping next to Yele Mallappa Shetty Lake shows how little BBMP cares about Bengaluru’s environment.

Tons of waste near a waterbody, no segregation, no collection — this isn’t “Garden City”, it’s a Civic Failure. 🤦‍♂️

[#YeThikKarkeDikhao @YTKDIndia]

Who says change isn’t possible?

All it takes is one voice, amplified together on social media.

Let’s make noise for what’s right. 💪📢

[#YeThikKarkeDikhao @YTKDIndia]

Illegal hoardings have turned cities into visual landfills.

Every wall, flyover, and lamp post hijacked by faces craving attention. No space for art, only ego. This isn’t celebration, it’s civic vandalism.

This is the most requested feature at GitHub, but will AI batshit crazy @Microsoft or @github listen?

[Caleb @caleb_friesen]

I found a secret footpath in Bengaluru.

Here's what it's being used for:

- Defecation
- Sticking posters
- Discarding trash
- Growing flyover grass

So, where are pedestrians walking instead?

A subterranean single-lane tunnel road.

@pramodkvarma sir, would love to know your thoughts on this.

[Prathu Baronia @devpraton]

After filing multiple complaints across various BBMP apps and chatbots, I decided to create a format that makes complaint submission uniform and straightforward. I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

[Prathu Baronia @devpraton]

@IndiGo6E please clarify this discrepancy.

[Prathu Baronia @devpraton]

Booked 2 @IndiGo6E BLR–BOM tickets 5 mins apart — one via Bluechips+UPI, one via UPI only. Extra Rs 230 “convenience” + Rs 53 “loyalty redemption” fees for using Bluechips. Support says it’s official policy. This erodes customer trust. Screenshots attached, can provide PNRs.
