@fbinin trademark is a better fit for such thing but i heard that any IP stuff in India takes months or even years. I myself need to apply for a copyright for my book and seems like its such a huge and lengthy process

We would appreciate if you don’t use a LLM/AI to write your CFP submission. Please just tell us about your work in your own words. Proof reading and spell checks are fine.

@thej it’s correct. You just described vegetarians. What you might be looking for is the word called “vegan”. As far as the basic vegetarian definition goes, it’s just exclusion of meat in the diet. Not eating animal products is more of a vegan thing.

@vkc @vkc @vkc I don’t like gnome out of the box but with a few shell extensions here and there it’s the best DE out there. I like how it looks and feels infinitely better than windows. To me gnome is the second best looking UI after macOS.

Anyway, if you like GNOME and their design concepts, you're awesome and totally a valid user of Linux.

Sick of the absurd nonsense that says otherwise.

@werdahias currently learning German A1 and the only thing I could decipher from this is that you’re talking something about work :)

@werdahias I never saw actual snow in my life :(

@werdahias cycling is always worth it. It’s a fun time honestly. Too bad my country’s roads are too bad for cycling.

@kishy in other news I somehow managed to learn to use Inkscape for Kanpur posters without any guide. It’s honestly a lot better than Canva.

@billchenchina @disaster2life we’ve had ikea in a nearby city for like 8 years now and people still go to it everyday lol. I’ve heard of a lot of things about the food there but my friend and his partner recently went there and he said that the food was really bad the last time they went there

@billchenchina @disaster2life looks like I need to visit it someday but IKEA here is crowded at any given time. Not to mention the absurd traffic during evenings

@billchenchina I’ve never been to that IKEA in that city near me but I’ve heard of people going there to have engagements or even have their dinner there. What’s so special about it?

@mos_8502 @mos_8502 @mos_8502 the other day my friend told me about an electronic software. I noticed it’s not in debian and wanted to file a RFP for it but then it turns out that they never published a release for it. They said they instead want users to use their docker image while they push commits everyday to the repo. Let’s say that the software will never be packaged into any distro. Some people should have a formal class in software engineering

@chirag @sahil lmaooo I thought it was a joke when you kept mentioning jan 3rd in Mumbai

depressive af
@contrapunctus not sure about others but I definitely found you to be a cool and chill person when I met you a month ago but I can totally relate to your experience. I had the same problem and honestly I kind of stopped bothering about getting attention and ironically it made me more noticeable among people. I got a lot of flirts and compliments in the last few months and I’ve never been complimented anything like that in my life. Human psychology is weird honestly.

@fbinin I knew this was coming. It’s not really free software if the company backing it has malicious intents.

@chirag @sahil damn Chirag how did your conference on Jan 3rd go?

@niyabits nice but I still prefer Monal on MacOS. Eagerly waiting for the UI rewrite

@werdahias yeah I thought I’d wrap up the updates of some python packages but it looks like some packages that I’m updating are broken to the core. Had to get DPT involved to fix it. >_<
