  • I wouldn’t view India as a world leader in any field but may be ignorant of some specialities? I know there is innovation but nothing major springs to mind. I’m being lazy though - that can likely be looked up and verified with stats.

    Technology wise, it appears to depend on western countries outsourcing work, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but isn’t a good thing either since the draw to using India isn’t skill but cost. If the cost goes up, the west will stop outsourcing there and go to some other low cost base. (I’m not saying Indians aren’t skilled, just that’s not the primary reason why outsourcing there is happening, it’s all about exploitation from the west in search of more profit).

    Politically it seems to have been a dumpster fire for some time and looks like it’s trending towards more national extremism. Though that doesn’t seem to be unique at all - feels like the world is shifting to more fascist tendencies.

    The caste system is especially cruel and I regularly read stories that it’s going strong with no signs of stopping. I find that morally repugnant.

    The amount of scams against innocent people that originate from India is shocking, and it really appears as though corruption is so high that it’s not going to get better any time soon.

    Professionally, I deal with Indians semi regularly and it’s overall positive. Personally, I’ve come across a few assholes but the majority have been decent people and none of the issues above ever come up.


  • You used that term, and frankly I recoil a bit a this term because of the implication that it’s not a deficiency of the software but that it’s the users who are wrong.

    I wouldn’t say FF is deficient in this case - not being designed for your exact use case doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with it.

    As for opening 500+ tabs to buy a thing.

    You do know that sellers now use algorithmic pricing and often there will be hundreds of sellers for the same thing.

    Plus the price will be obfuscated with various artifices that all have to be overcome to find the best seller with the best price.

    Defeating all of that means openning a shit-ton of tabs.

    I usually only buy things if I agree with the price it’s being sold at. If I don’t I will look elsewhere but ultimately I value my time more than money. Extra money can be earned, time cannot 🤷‍♂️ If you have to drive 100 miles to a fuel station to save 2 cent per gallon, are you actually saving money?

    Here’s an example of the process I’ve designed for aliexpress

    So it’s a script generating all the tabs?


  • The solution to write your own application that does what you want because your workflow is not a use case that browsers are designed for. It’s not bad to wish for features but your workflow is never going to be catered for in a browser and it’s both unreasonable and unrealistic to expect otherwise - hence you need to do it yourself.

    If you can’t or don’t know how to do that yourself, I suggest you listen to the advice everyone else is giving you. Organisation does require ongoing work and given your comments it will likely require a lot of upfront effort to change your browser hygiene habits but once you are more organised it becomes a lot easier and a lot less work to stay on top of things.

    It’s none of my business but I wonder why you feel it’s so important to open 500+ tabs just to buy something small online. Doing research and being informed is good but it seems disproportionate and perhaps talking to a professional might help you with that.




  • You need to present yourself to a mental health professional because you’re not doing well and you NEED professional help. There is no debating that. It may not be obvious to you because you’re not doing well, but it’s obvious to everyone else here. People are telling you this and you’re ignoring it, maybe you think they’re part of your conspiracy but they’re not. Things are just distorted in your head but will remain so until you get the help you desperately need. Again, I urge you to seek professional help asap.





  • After reading the article, it very much looks the NHS is completely to blame for the deaths and crown prosecution fucked up because the believed 2 people that had a bee in their bonnet but no actual proof. I’d say it was right for the 2 accusers to ask the question the first time but after the investigation that resulted proved no wrong doing on Lucy’s part, they should have dropped it. The whole argument is that she was present, but they were short staffed so she was always called in to cover. Also most of the staff didn’t have adequate neo-natal training but were working on a neo-natal ward, because they were so short staffed.



  • Because it’s full of pseudoscience. He’s a better spoken and more intelligent version of Joe Rogan. If you haven’t done proper research I suggest you do, if you still don’t understand (or don’t care about) the dangers of psuedoscience then you do you but know you’re part of the problem then. My advice, put the kool-aid down dude, he’s not the answer to whatever it is you are looking for.
