Idiotic Musings From Firangistan

[Vinash]

The competing platforms will succeed only if they offer better value and a significantly improvement in user experience. Nobody will move to a copycat just for the sake of it.

China was successful because the Chinese platforms were filling a void created by the internet censorship.

Even if you create a better product, the initial years won't yield you any profits.

You need a combo of a better product + huge financial backing in the initial few years.

" It was an unfortunate incident and those who have been accused will be penalized under the relevant clauses of the law , after an through investigation ".
After that post news about their own land in their faces .
No need to write bullshit like " iam ashamed , very harrowing incident, it's a blot on our society, etc etc .
For Arabs, tahrrush,
If Japs call about anything, make them remember about Nanjing etc .
If pakis call about anything, well folks can duly hammer them with a vast array of replies about their own activities.
Same is true for Americans , same is true for anglos and rest of the world.

1. India continues to have relations/business with Russia despite Americ*nts & Euro*haggots seething 24*7

2. India continues to have Tibet border infrastructure upgrades & is still in "eye to eye" contact showing no signs of climb-down

3. India condemned terrorism against Israel while supporting two state solution & humanitarian efforts

4. India continues to be a tough negotiator at WTO, speaks about democratization of world's financial systems (which the sharts interpret as "de-dollarization") & has local currency deals with others

5. India's RuPay/UPI is successful & is being integrated with more countries much to the irritation of VISA

6. India has not "talked with" Pakistan on "Cashmere" for like a gazillion years & made it a footnote somewhere

7. India has to some extend banged hard on the local proxies of the above players

All the above parties want Modi to be gone or considerably weakened.

As such any negative news from India will ALWAYS be amplified.

Stuff like this, Nupur episode will be happening with regular intervals. All part of the game.

The only constant thing that the GOI can keep doing is banging the collaborators hard.

Building Platform similar to Twitter, reddit is easy. But end result will look like an Clone. Either we need to reinvent few things and showcase how our app is different than Twitter, Reddit.

Now for whatsapp. Unfortunately, whatsapp at present don't have any weakness. Pretty much covered every strong point like business account, UPI, shopping and now channels.

Such an initiative requires a good government backing as well. UPI would not have succeeded without the Central government's support. Companies like Intel and Tesla managed to survive during their nascent years due to the financial backing (orders and subsidies) from the US government (pentagon in particular).

Let us not forget about the cutting-edge technologies supporting those platforms. These successful companies don't just offer excellent user experience, they are extremely innovative in terms of the core technologies as well.

In the world of IT and high-tech just because something looks like a duck and quacks like a duck won't necessarily be recognized as a duck.

4chan wasn't created by modi haters. All the far right hate media originates from that crap land where dehumanisation is considered based cool and whatever. Much of the popular Internet slang culture originates from that imageboard, @Johny_Baba is an expert on that.

Basically, India became the favourite punchingbag because Indian shit media continued to provide content. If you ever wonder why only Indians are called streetshitter, well, just type "open defecation" on google images, 90% results will be Indian media content being blasted over due to being numerous and getting more traffic due to huge Indian population. Same goes for search results on poverty, slums and rape. Leftist section of Indians are absolute subhumans who love the idea of India being a poverty ridden, dirty, poor shithole, and the media run by them reflects that on internet.

And what I'm telling is not new, this has been going on for more than a decade, maybe since early 2010s or even before.

Fake news.

Not really. China's was not the main factor facilitating Pakistani nuclear/missile program, NATO was.

PRC itself was dependent on them after Sino Soviet split.

Wrong. NATO did not want a nuclear armed Pakistan because it meant a nuclear armed Islamic state. It was China who facilitated the procurement of enrichment equipment and arming technology to Pakistan.

What are the actual challenges of making a domestic twitter, facebook and tiktok? Software wise there doesn't seem to be anything complicated in social media, all you need to do is allow account creation and media hosting. Is the main issue the sheer number of servers needed to host all this data and computing?

The only way Indian SM apps can succeed is through banning these foreign apps(temporarily) and letting the Indian ecosystem grow with state support(esp from top politicians and celebrities). We've had Koo(barely anyone logs into it now) and is as good as dead. Even the Brazilian president created an account but our MahaManav Vishwaguru didn't bother to create an account there and continues to use Twitter. We've had all the tiktok replacements like Sharechat, Moj, Josh etc which are also having a declining user base. More people are joining reels and YT shorts instead.

Indian business ad spend is also very low compared to the west, which means a lot more VC money is necessary to sustain the startups, which again is a lot more expensive in India due to the high interest rate regime. Not to mention our link language is mostly English which means any of our SM startups have to compete with the US startups which are awash with free low interest money from VC's and banks.

Take Micromax for an example. Despite having total domination over the Indian mobile phone market for so many years it did not invest anything in R&D. Unfortunately, this is a prevalent mindset here in India.

Koo was nothing more than a cheap copycat of Twitter.

There is no point defending anything . Racism against India has been pretty much normalized in the West.

Actually, they have no sympathy for the victim, rather they were looking for an opportunity to throw us under the bus, and with this incident, they got a perfect one.

No more. Those days are over when we gave them power over us and wanted their validation. There are slums and cows, but there is also Chandrayaan-3, 8.4% growth during a global recession, and India bankrolling Russia. Throwing India under the bus is akin to spitting on the Sun.

Then look at this chink
I had doubted that whole incident as a stunt and it might be true. Seems non-coincidental that she got harassed by 2 guys, who happened to be muslim (coz muslim criminals would be vilified more in India), and some random guy came helping her watching her twitch stream all of a sudden. Yeah sounds believable.

Thats why Indians should stop giving a fuck about chutiyapa like sarva garm vada pao, vasudhaiv kutumbakam and all that desperate softpower boosting copes Indians tell abroad.

Foreigners stink worse than pigs and they shower very less when in India.

Imagine traveling by bus in Chennai and a bunch of goras and goris dressed in shorts and a vest stand right next to you. A bunch of kids simply held their nose and walked to another corner of the bus and laughed their sick asses off.

Excess meat consumption adds to that sick body odor flying off these red meat obsessed goras.

Abstract
Axillary body odor is individually specific and potentially a rich source of information about its producer. Odor individuality partly results from genetic individuality, but the influence of ecological factors such as eating habits are another main source of odor variability. However, we know very little about how particular dietary components shape our body odor. Here we tested the effect of red meat consumption on body odor attractiveness.

We used a balanced within-subject experimental design. Seventeen male odor donors were on “meat” or “nonmeat” diet for 2 weeks wearing axillary pads to collect body odor during the final 24 h of the diet.

Fresh odor samples were assessed for their pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity, and intensity by 30 women not using hormonal contraceptives. We repeated the same procedure a month later with the same odor donors, each on the opposite diet than before. Results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the odor of donors when on the nonmeat diet was judged as significantly more attractive, more pleasant, and less intense.

This suggests that red meat consumption has a negative impact on perceived body odor hedonicity.

There was an Arab who used to work out in our gym. Often did small stunt roles in films. The guy used to stink up the entire section of an AC gym within 15 minutes of working out and people would simply have to walk a good 5 feet away or more.

This, despite being bathed in attar and perfume. No wonder these folks spend a fortune on perfume and still end up with bacterial skin infections.

Agreed on Micromax

As for Koo, Indeed, it was never as good as twitter, but after the initial hiccups it was definitely usable. And with the kind of funding they had, I never expected them to be better than Twitter anyway. Though I still never understood why Mahamanav didn't even bother to create an account when presidents of Nigeria , Brazil and even Dalai lama had no problems doing so. Viswaguru could've easily brought more than million followers to the app. At the end of the day, domestic apps even if they're not good as the western clones, need support from domestic politicians, influencers and celebs else they don't stand a chance.

Just a few days ago an Indian dancer from Kolkata was shot dead in cold blood in Chicago. Did one international publication report that? How many social media posts condemning that from the white bastards?
