  • Not a doctor or a medical practitioner, but I’m not in favour of sports-drink from Prime, Gatorade and G-Fuel, owing to their unhealthy amount of sugar and caffeine, and would prefer the ORS electrolyte.

    Tender coconut is pretty good, but you can also try overnight-soaked basil seed with raisins. Add sugar as per your serving, but raisins will provide you with sweetness anyway.

    Another good recommendation is pomegranate juice or banana smoothie. You can also not go wrong with custard-apple milk shake, but it might be a little tiring to de-seed them.


  • Good thing you didn’t post this in the privacy community, or you’ll be perma-banned. OP uses Google’s password manager. Do I need to say anything more? As much as convenient you feel, you do realise that now you’re vendor-locked in Google’s ecosystem?

    Try exporting your password in CSV or JSON format. I bet you can’t. Bitwarden allows that. KeePass allows that. Even proprietary platform like Dashlane allows it, but that’s out of the topic here.

    Coming back to the philosophy behind software licenses, Chrome and Chromium-based projects use BSD 3-clause license, with most of them being company devs, working for Google’s interest. Permissive copyleft licenses like BSD and MIT are a trap for big tech to either get volunteers to work for them or take ownership of the project by sheer volume.

    Remember what Apple did to the Mach kernel, which was initially open-source under CMU-BSD and BSD kernel under BSD 3-clause license? They refuse to share their own modifications even today, but they have the balls to use the Mach microkernel and BSD monolithic kernel souce code in their MacOS and iPhones under their heavily modified XNU kernel.

    Google and Microsoft are profit-driven. However, Mozilla is a non-profit. Google tried to bring web DRM literally a few weeks ago under RFC. Right now, there are three mainstream engines: Gecko (Firefox), WebKit (Safari) and Blink (Chromium, basically a fork of WebKit). There’s another one still in work, called Servo (by Mozilla, for some unknown browser, could also be Firefox) under development, which is supposed to be very fast, and also safe, thanks to Rust. Gecko engine is very important for the web, although you may not care, other people who are concerned about the balance of power in web do. Choose your players wisely.

    I would like to reclaim the word pariah, erase it’s existence and swap it with pariyah (pronounced purr-E-yeah), the plural form of pari (purr-E), meaning angels.

    Pariah comes from the word Paraiyar (drummers). Paraiyar are a lower caste group from Tamil Nadu, a southern state in India, whose job revolved around drumming and witchcraft.

    As if weaponization of this word from a caste to a slur wasn’t enough, the colonialist repurposed it, and made it international.

    I can’t even imagine being a Paraiyar folks, and having to hear this word everyday.

    If it helps, remove the word pariah from your vocabulary.
