How did you win them over?

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply
I do get things done. But sometimes I think that I could have started some things early, avoid rush. Also a sort-of negative perfectionism that does the opposite, where I end up delaying the start while thinking about the best time to start and how to avoid possible trouble etc. How do you categorise and adjust accordingly about such stuff? If you are someone who got out of or reduced such behaviour(or helped someone to do that), what were the things that you/they did? How did you/they start out and progress etc. Thanks in advance

Would U.S.A. foreign policy be drastically affected by who becomes the president?
As a non-American, I think it'd have more impact on the people of the U.S.A and maybe immediate neighbours like Mexico.

How a lawyer in America got jailed for legally fighting against(and defeating) an American multi-national oil company that polluted the Amazon and more importantly harmed the lives and health of the locals with the pollution.

How is training routine like?
If you have any recommendations or suggestions for a beginner, could you please share them?
Achyu 5d ago • 100%
Yep.
I think that would be the summary

Yep. It says that the mainstream left n right in the US is pro-ruling class, with only minor differences and they get entangled around only entry-level topics without going after the materials reasons for issues n solving them.
I think they mean the democrats, with the term to mean the US mainstream 'left'. The video criticises both the Left and Right under that definition.

Aah. Thank you.
Would the govt be able to create any laws to counter the case being overturned?
And unrelated:
Could the Green party and Democrats form a coalition and choose the President accordingly, if the results are bad?
I'm an Indian, where we have parliamentary democracy.
Parties can form coalitions and the leader set by the coalition becomes the Prime minister and the President is not as powerful, eventhough they're technically the head of the nation.
Is it different in USA? If Trumps gains most votes, can the Greens and Democrats channel votes against him by creating a coalition?

Look, if you don't care about LGBT folks, women who need abortions, asylum seekers, etc. you can pull that "don't care" lever
Not a person living in USA, wouldn't a coalition govt be better then, as the Roe vs Wade issue happened while the Democrats were in power?
Or are coalitions not allowed?
Or is the central govt powerless in such issues?

Didn't Castro lead the group that freed their country from the dictator Batista?
They have a very high literacy rate now. Their life expectancy is quite decent in their region.
And they have good healthcare.
All this in about 60 or so years, while being under sanctions and other crisis.

I recently saw a video on it, saying that it's true, but in tge context of US politics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWy8EEqXbBg
As an outsider looking at America, the vid makes sense. I saw some comments on the net say that RW Trump was the first US president to go to Nk and meet Kim rather than some LW one. I don't know whether the meetings were useful tho

Supertuxkart is one of the best games that I've ever played.
Mostly because it has a multiplayer mode. Much more than LAN multiplayer, it had options to map controls for the 2nd player on the same keyboard.
Used it to play with my relatives and it was fun.

Xi would not hurt civillians like that. Only one country has used nukes on civillians.
He probably would not want to be on the same list as them on it.

It's decent and I find it useful a lot
I have Aard2-Android installed on my phone, which is a foss dictionary app. They use wiktionary as sources for some dictionaries and I use the Malayalam, ml.wiktionary.org one.
It's quite accurate and very useful as it's offline(as I'm on 3G most of the time).
You can create your own dictionary files from Kiwix Zim files, using pyglossary. I was able to do it in GCollab.

Since you're a Malayali, you must know about Bappa Beary, a Muslim trader from Kerala?
I haven't heard of it. Thank you for sharing information on it.
Regarding Sabarimala, it's a shrine for Vaavar:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vavar
refrain from eating meat, wear a black lungi and plan a long-distance pilgrimage to Sabarimala to pay visit to the celibate God Ayyappa
Yep.
No meat, no footwear, no shaving, no swearing, no alcohol or similar material etc. It's seen positively by many because it helps reduce alcoholism in some of the believers. I had a distant relative who'd be totally different during Mandalakaalam vs other times.
I've been told that he had a lowly birth, and that Brahmins are trying to appropriate this God too - this information might be incorrect though.
I've heard similar things too. That it was a tribal or buddhist diety that has been appropriated
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact Recently got banned in a community when I brought it up, when they talked about the latter. I'm Indian, didn't really have to read too much(on such treaties and other stuff. We do learn about the dates, major groups involved and our own people) about WW1 and WW2 before getting on the internet forums. But how is it in Western countries? Also, is the Bengal famine of 1943 taught? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943 I only got the gravity of the situation after reading about it and seeing pictures on the net. Are there any other events that should be more known by others, in your opinion? I hope this is not too political. If it is, do forgive me, I'll delete this. Edit: Recently read about the Travancore famine of 1943, that killed around 90,000 people. It happened in my state, Kerala. But I never really knew about it.
Apps that I know: * For images - Pocketpaint, Freepaint Fossify Gallery has a basic editor with draw, crop and filters. Tux paint is also nice to draw stuff. * For video * Video transcoder allows basic cutting of audio n video. * Saw an app called Bunny media editor, that allowed basic image and video cropping and cutting. * I've also heard that some people use Termux for it Are there other apps like these? Which all apps do you use to edit images/videos and make memes etc?
One that use the camera to give an approximate distance between two objects? Tape measure has some features, but needs a known reference object in the same plane. And most of the predefined objects are not common where I live. It does have an option to define custom reference objects. But are there any apps that do not need a reference object? Thanks in advance.

The error message shows: ## Book rendering failed There was an error while attempting to render your book. ____ I was accessing the wiki using Firefox. I tried disabling uBlock Origin to see if it was the reason, but the same error was displayed. Didn't know where I should ask about this error, so shared it here.
I've recently read about it, and it seems straight forward. Materialism makes sense and things getting resolved through the resolution/interaction of contradiction/opposing forces too. Though curious on how it is used as a tool to analyse and resolve problems. Especially in the lives/localities of those who study/use it. I don't much about philosophy, so forgive if I made any wrong assumptions or if this question is weird. Please do recommend any online sources that may help me there, in that case. Also, would it be better to ask this in another sub, as this question maybe political?

NetGuard - https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.faircode.netguard/ TrackerControl - https://f-droid.org/packages/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid/ How was your experience with them? Differences in battery life etc. Another doubt: I had tried NetGuard some years ago to restrict internet access of apps like Gboard n Gdrive(I use the pdfviewer associated with it. Any lightweight foss alternatives to it?). Was planning to use it again, but saw that eventhough they have a recent update, their Github doesn't allow issues and the latest pull request are from 2023. Is there some change in the app? Have they transferred to Gitlab or Codeberg. I don't know much details about programming, so asking the doubt here because of the Simple apps transfer issue that I heard recently. Thanks in advance. Edit: Mentioned the usecase for gdrive
Or ones that you'd like to recommend to others? Ones available under copy-left licenses too.

I don't keep auto-sync on repositories turned on and use an rss feed from the fdroid subredd to follow updates to the repo. I also know of https://monitor.f-droid.org/builds. Are there any other methods or official feeds?
