I call it bullshit. So some random Twitter armchair general gets info on what happens in Southblock ?

MoD is reluctant to even order 31 Predator-B due to price issues (not even signed), and we have a requirement of a much larger UAV fleet which MoD has clarified will go to domestic players.

so we are not going to see any good presentation slides from MoD anytime soon

LibreOffice is available. The quality will remain consistently stuck at 2008.

just FYI,
there exist certain "OnlyOffice" web-based office suite which mimics Microsoft Office quite well, and it's better than open sores Libreoffice which is more focused towards linux computing.

Online Office Applications for business

ONLYOFFICE offers a secure online office suite highly compatible with MS Office formats. Connect it to your web platform for document editing and collaboration or use as a part of ONLYOFFICE Workspace.

they are bad at marketing otherwise desktop editions are available on their git repo, or self-hosting of their web edition is possible too.

"Local production = domestic" here. "Made in India Reapers" and the elusive "ToT" are great sales pitch. The order might go over 31 if local production is being considered.

Yes no nation will approve local assembly for just 31 drones
GoI has given them assurance of further orders and now they want to divert that amount from tapas orders so traditional method being deployed go for trails again then declare as project demonstrator and close it successfully
So basically for usa made gold-plated mq-9 drones we are ditching home grown tapas
I am nowhere saying tapas capable as mq-9 infact even category difference exists but many consider mq-9 as male and many as hale
But one must have its indigenous projects at top most priority
Yeah capability gap shouldn't be compromised but that doesn't mean u ditch ur indigenous program
We don't know precisely even mq-9 will come with no restrictions or not
Here we means public
No excuse can do justice to this move, its a pure blunder with shortsighted motives of babus and politicians

 

[Chinmoy]

Haiji?

Yes. Its true.

 

[Corvus Splendens]

Haiji?

Navy trialed Su-33. Settled on Mig-29s instead. This is an old report likely.

You can still use MS Office in teh cloud via Office 365, all it needs is a web browser

We have been trying to use our own flavors for past many decades, but they all are quietly ditched - I guess with every hardware upgrades. Last time there was one Bharat Operating System Solutions (BOSS based on Debian Linux).

BOSS is still a thing, and has been upgraded to use Cinnamon DE and icons unironically stolen from Win10 or 11

BOSS | BOSS Linux

bosslinux.in

In all likelihood this "Maya" is BOSS with a name change and some additional speshul nashnul sekoority affirming software made by those NIC boys.

btw the 'Axis of Autocracies' are also switching to in-house linux based OSes, Winblows is the #1 CIA/NSA/other alphabet soup agencies backdoor into various countries Sarkari IT infra.

We don't have indigenous engines for light tank?

BOSS is piece of garbage, built on older Debian repos. In past i tried to run it on virtual machine and despite multiple tries that simply did not run on virtualbox .
At max it's just debian reskin with indic language supports and some packages bundled with it; rest it seems quite rudimentary.

As for this Maya Linux from Ubuntu, i fuckin' hope these nibbiars removed all telemetry from it that Canonical (company behind ubuntu) bundles within it; 'specially Amazon related telemetries.
There is a reason why Linux Mint is often praised as 'Debian like stable fork of Ubuntu' because it removes lots and lots of bullshit things that Ubuntu thrusts down people's throats.

Other notorious thing is canisterised app distribution called "Snap" on Ubuntu that is made standard with some recent versions. It is notorious for having questionable privacy standards and huge size of packages; and Ubuntu made some programs like Firefox bundled in this Snap thing (on Snap store, Firefox browser alone is WHOOPING ~1.2 GB in download size ?!) and it takes more time to get it installed and run than previous ways

Ubuntu prior to version 20.04 LTS used to be a damn good OS worth its salt, nowadays it's bloat, proprietory closed source snap packages and amazon telemetry bundled with it.

Even firefox out of fresh install is nothing privacy-respecting anymore. You have to work with about:config thing and disable or alter lots of flags AND apply a custom "hardening js" thing to reach to deeper sides and disable-modify many inner things to make it privacy respecting.

Linux Computing is not how it used to be before, with they are switching to RUST in kernel (which is welcoming addition but otherwise putting more stress on hardware) and these mainstream repo like Ubuntu going pozzed.

Better avoid Ubuntu as it is nowadays; you can always use Linux Mint instead.

well we make ruusi engines for Tin-72 and Tin-90 ASS here, ~800 to 1000 hp ones, ONLY IF they wanted to put it on this one

also we made an uprated 1000 hp version of V-46-6 for Tin-72 that has got an extra turbocharger and some other modifications, rumors are it was installed on various Tin-72 meant for Ladakh and such higher altitude regions
