Debian Maintainer | A Computer Nerd who also happens to be a Debian Packager.

I'm a hobbyist programmer. Outside of the computer world, I'm a STEM Major who likes inventing things.

I’m also a hobbyist graphic designer who mostly designs posters and media content for Debian India

Outside of geeky and nerdy stuff, I play a lot of video games, mostly single player ones.

@praveen while I’m usually against using purely vibe coded apps, I think this one has some potential but it’s only a week old so I don’t trust it yet.

Looking at social media posts today has convinced me that most people are very susceptible to brainwashing to the point that they justify massacres and killings. You’re worse than IDF and Hamas if you glorify the deaths of Israelis or Palestinian civilians no matter what the context is and who has the highest kill count.

There are always two sides of a conflict and I see most people being intentionally blind towards the other side here.

First they came for gas And I did not speak out Because I dont own a car

Then they came for eggs And I did not speak out Because I dont like eggs

Then they came for Whey Protein And there was no one left To speak out for me

I'm glad I got to experience the beauty of programming before the era of LLMs

@divyaranjan @fbinin which also makes it even harder for people to move away from android or ios

No LLM can surpass the beauty of human creativity.

re: Mental health?
@sounddrill yeah tech isn't really the right pick for me as I thought it was. I've always been more of a science guy.

I can relate to the box thing and which is why I'm planning to move out. I can't do a lot of hobbies in this country. People here aren't into the same stuff as I am.

re: Mental health?
@sounddrill nope. Not gonna come to any Foss events other than the debian ones

re: Mental health?
@sounddrill in my case my burnout cycle made me realise that I’ve been doing the wrong thing all this time and that was the reason why I was getting burnt out in the first place

re: Mental health?
@sounddrill I just gave up on a lot of things and dialed back my lifestyle down to basics. At this point I don’t care about anything.

@divyaranjan Salsa is just a place where we host code. It's basically github for Debian. Just because something is on Salsa, doesn't mean that it's official.

re: Mental health?
@sounddrill Can relate. I've been under a constant burnout cycle for the past 1 year. It used to be bad but it's better now. I ended up quitting a lot of things and now considering changing my major too and that makes me feel better.

@divyaranjan It's optional honestly and that service was developed by someone who's been very pro-LLM from the start. This is not an official stance by the whole project.

It's a debian.net project not debian.org. .net is used for running community/experimental projects and .org is only meant for official infrastructure. This site linked here is not an official core part of the project.

The LLM policy also vaguely defines what "responsible" is, so by design this is allowed.

Back to eating 2 eggs a day everyday. Was severely malnourished for weeks because I didn't eat them enough + the crappy hostel food that makes people vomit.

@sounddrill @crmsnbleyd can relate. I often get 5-6 hours of sleep these days and I’m hella tired for the rest of the day. 9 hours is the bare minimum for me

@contrapunctus Tbh I feel like people were more crazy about that festival this year. They've been collecting money for the statues rather too aggressively. I have no clue why every street needs its own statue when all of them are gonna be dumped into rivers which will be poisoned by them anyway but you can't expect common sense from people.
