Perched outside a station (for public display) in Northern India; this NG loco harks back to a different era
Sorry for the panoramic slightly tilted image. But the place had a ton of visitors and it was almost impossible to image it from front without dozens of people coming in the view.
Lying in south Delhi, this is a 16th century tomb and the complex part of a UNESCO Heritage Site.
Two coached Meter gauge train running [standing technically] through a desert in India
A mausoleum in Delhi dedicated to the poet Kabir. Dates back to 16th century.
This special train runs in the western state of Rajasthan. This was off-season for the train [mainly folks take it during the rainy season]. I happened to be the sole passenger in the train in both UP and DN directions.
In this image, one can see the lonely platform where the train is waiting for loco reversal.
A 18th century astronomical rooftop observatory tucked in the bylanes of the old city of Varanasi, India
Originally built in 7th/8th century and fortified later, it lies near the Indian city of Varanasi. An important Buddhist site.
Taken from inside a running train. The last coach of the train was Vistadome as in having giant panoramic glass windows, making views effortless.
Amongst the apps mentioned as bloated on Windows were Teams, Discord (major offender) and WhatsApp. The latter is a curious case because a Universal Windows app existed (now being deprecated I guess?) that was more memory efficient than the Web wrapper.
And in case, someone in interested there is a terminal client for WhatsApp (and Telegram) called nchat. Sure, it is not at feature parity with web client (images is a big problem, for obvious reasons) but the simple fact that a third party client taking so little resources exists is a damning indictment of Meta. It shows that resource efficient clients are possible (provided the parent company junks the metaverse).
He is also one of the Co founders of Palantir, quite a notorious company.
This was a 2021 comic, which I think was the time when companies had to comply with GDPR regulations. Cookies didn't go away, but companies had to explicitly ask the user for consent to use them [or atleast can't hide that they were using cookies]; usually in form of popups.
IIRC, they banned it from Mozilla Addon Store quite some time ago. But it can still be easily sideloaded and once done, will be auto updated as well. It works on both desktop and mobile as well.
I think the controversial nature of the extension caused them to remove it from AMO.
Java was also my first introduction to programming as it was included in Computer Science in final year of school (at college, we did the trusty C).
I think they have replaced Java with Python now in schools because of the latter's popularity and also because many would argue, Python is slightly easier to learn than Java.
They aren't necessarily US specific. Wages not keeping up with inflation and rising cost of living is a factor from South Korea to Japan to Singapore as well. Some countries muck it up themselves like China with their one child policy back in the day (even the Chinese fertility rate has dipped below 2.2, I think).
They were heavily panned for that back then. My image of Ubuntu of that time is heavily associated with their Unity desktop which they latter dropped(only for it to spring up again).
Microsoft should permanently recall the Recall feature.
Musk has called the Moraes’ decisions regarding X “unconstitutional.”
Who would know more about Brazil's constitution? One of its Supreme Court Judge or Elon Musk?
The new one is just a web UI with options for streaming music. There were talks of the old original Winamp going open source though, which bought nostalgic memories to many. Eithercase, with so many music players on both Windows and Linux, I doubt Winamp would a niche case to fill.
