GoI spreading #misinformation on #OpenSource, 7 months after awarding 75 lakh to Brave fork/rebrand "made in India" > A senior official said Zoho’s suite has also been activated to ensure that government employees do not use open source applications to create word files, spreadsheets and presentations. > > Though the suite was available earlier, not many government employees were using it. “It was found that many government employees were using open source tools, which could compromise security of files, and it was decided to make them aware and display its features prominently on the internal mail platform,” said the official. #india #FreeSoftware
> Every day there are news reports of 17, 22, 31 “Maoists” killed. Many of those killed are simply tribal villagers caught in the crosshairs of the deadly, remote-controlled sophistry of modern weaponry. How do these weapons decide who is a Maoist? How do you throw a bomb from a helicopter and know it will land only on a Maoist? What does a Maoist look like? Nobody knows. If supporting the Adivasi cause or reading Karl Marx in your city apartment can get you labelled an urban naxal, then every forest-dweller clinging to her land can be a Maoist. The labels work like infrared emissions, attracting arrests and bullets with unerring regularity. #adivasi #indigenous #maoist #naxal #naxalite #UrbanNaxal
