Excel sheets will be produced in TV news studios tonight justifying this move, of course. They'll point out, "WHAT ABOUT INDIRA GANDHI!? She did this so many times! Why no outrage then!?"

Pls don't fall for that crap. This #PresidentRule business is just not good.

So far the brain is ruling...

I will doing the first session of digital security office hour tomorrow 13th November, at 8PM IST. Feel free to ask questions mentioning me and with #securityofficehour hashtag. I will collect those and answer over video + here. Please also boost this toot for reach.

If you are wondering why there were plain clothes Policemen attacking students in the #JNU protests, it is so that video evidence of atrocities won't be blamed on them.

Are you a #journalist and working on investigative stories? Please have a look at https://securedrop.org as a way to receive leaks from sources in a secure way. Save your sources from powerful nation state actors and private firms.

Remember Aaron Swartz. If you don't know about or already watched the documentary, find some friends, and watch it again together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vz06QO3UkQ Please boost. #AaronSwartzDay

Aaron Swartz. Born on this day! November 8, 1986. He would have been 33 today.

November 9 will be observed all over the world as Aaron Swartz Day — an annual event to celebrate Aaron Swartz’s legacy as an activist, programmer, entrepreneur & political organizer.

Hackathons would be organised, where diverse & passionate folks would gather & exchange ideas with each other, who believe in Freedom of #Information & #Education and Securing Digital Space for all.

Remember 9th November! 💜

Remember, remember,
the eighth of November,
foolishness of the bigot.
I see no reason, why the blackmoney treason, Should ever be forgot.

Got bored to answer the same question again and again, so wrote it down in a blog post. How to verify any account on Mastodon? https://kushaldas.in/posts/verified-emoji-on-mastodon.html Please boost for more reach. #India

This is why many of us are moving to Mastodon

So I got my chargesheet yesterday. Over email. Worse than breakup over SMS.

One of the charges in that chargesheet is that I applied for PM excellence award only after repeated reminders from superiors. :)

Unoon, a tool to monitor network connections from my #linux systems https://kushaldas.in/posts/unoon-a-tool-to-monitor-network-connections-from-my-system.html #security #python

If you call RMS a hero of free software, you're protecting a person who has committed pervasive sexual harassment.

You're declaring that code is more important than human beings.

You're declaring that the many well-documented cases of him driving folks out of open source are less important than Emacs.

I don't need to know you.

You don't meet my standards for friendship. Or tolerating.

So RMS resigned as head of the FSF, but he's still head of the GNU Project? (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2019-09/msg00008.html)

GP is a wholly owned subsidiary of the FSF.

I call bullshit.

The FSF board is actively weaseling around RMS being cast out from polite society.

Dear, @kushal

i probably have known you for the past few years and dgplug has changed my life so much for the better.

Thank you for this extraordinarily generous decade and a half.

I probably speak for the rest of #dgplug when I say, we are extremely grateful.

I wish you all the wishes I can muster as you soar upwards and onwards

hurrah!

the first ever #dgplug conference is happening!

Mastery requires both impatience and patience.

The impatience to have a bias toward action, to not waste time, and to work with a sense of urgency each day.

The patience to delay gratification, to wait for your actions to accumulate, and to trust the process.
