Indian censorship is comically bad and living in this country, seeing day-to-day examples of this is a lot of fun. How shit of a direction this country is taking. Talk about a judge being completely out of touch with how Wikipedia works and functions. Dangerous tool my ass, useful tool to keep people in check. They tried blocking Proton now it's Wikipedia... what's next, google??? Since disinformation and misinformation can be found on it too? I swear nothing appeases them except blatant false information pandering to assholes like these.

India is become a censorship haven in all aspects slowly and slowly. It's scary.

I've been juggling between S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly (adding more mods to my already big modlist as usual lol, can't stop!), O A.D., Oblivion, Roblox and Life is Strange 1 (In anticipation of Double Exposure coming out in a few days though I won't be able to play it, still excited!)

Just got into this "ricing" thing, any suggestions? in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

SOAD, Mudvayne and Static-X

Imagine a show where all 3 bands play new material, Static-X has already released some new stuff but SOAD (excluding those two single in 2020) and Mudvayane have yet to do so

It'd be an amazing show for all I know!

While it's true that voting for a purely retaliatory reason would be good but wouldn't you want your vote to have some amount of change? I'm not discrediting the integrity of the smaller parties but it really won't make much of a difference to vote for them even if it towards a good cause simply because their size is too small to compete with the giants or even in state elections. Andhbhakts are everywhere unfortunately.

The IT ministry has reportedly decided to issue an order blocking end-to-end encrypted email service ProtonMail. According to a report in Hindustan Times, the government is planning to block the email service at the request of the Tamil Nadu police over a hoax bomb threat sent to at least thirteen private schools in Chennai on February 8. The report says that the decision to block ProtonMail was taken at a meeting of the 69A blocking committee on Wednesday (February 14).

A Proton spokesperson told the publication that the company has received the request from MeitY “a few days ago”. “We are currently working to resolve this situation and are investigating how we can best work together with the Indian authorities to do so. We understand the urgency of the situation and are completely clear that our services are not to be used for illegal purposes. We routinely remove users who are found to be doing so and are willing to cooperate wherever possible within international cooperation agreements,” the spokesperson said.
