One line of computer programming, whichever language you were using. Up to 80 characters wide, same as the card's width.

I remember. And we loved it. No home computers, no cellphones, no internet. Mid 70's in my case.

The account of the Assam Police has been suspend from this instance.

We decided that we will not welcome cops on this instance, and we encourage the rest of the fediverse to do the same.

Following multiple reports, we decided that it's more important that our community feels safe and in security, than to be a platform for official communication.

Thank you !

I'm organising a meet-and-greet at Sabarimala in a few days. All fans invited.

Women keep away, though. I can't trust myself around you folks.

Life is a word that sometimes you cannot say,
And ash is a thing that someday we all should be,
When tomorrow comes, how different is it gonna be,
Why do love and hate sound just the same to me?

If Google & Facebook can control effectively control the flow of information across the globe, what would happen when IOT controlled robots get to control all physical devices on the planet? Check out my article https://swarajyamag.com/magazine/i-am-the-cloud-when-robots-come-of-age

Broke: You said "literally" when you meant "figuratively".

Woke: People have been using "literally" to mean "very" for centuries.

Bespoke: Counter-misusing "figuratively".

Anyone with any #GCC #C experience know how to compile with mingw on linux for windows? I got my project compiling but the end result isnt a dll but a *.a and *.la

Hola friends,

As 2019 is ending, have a look at how we have fared this year,climatically.How hot are we?Pretty hot.
Three surface temperature datasets suggest 2019 will be the second warmest year in the instrumental record ( >85% likelihood).

Virtual guarantee this will be the 5th year in a row more than 1°C above late 19th C, and a top 5 year. It will be certain that the top five years will have occurred in the last five years.

5 warmest years in a row is not a good sign.Earth is changing.

Every year I hope for a point where in which there is actual change from people.This year brought Greta Thunberg, Earth has a bright future, with these children, But I am sincerley scared,will they inherit it?
The change in global currents is alarming.India alone saw 6 cyclones in a row.My hometown in kerala had floods consecutively for 2 years.
There is a pattern in this chaos.Earth has given warnings.Please heed them & change.
We have only one planet.There is no place like earth, the exo planets we found doesnt even come close to earth ( in terms of beauty & life support systems ).Lets unite to protect it.

Happy weekend :)

We can shape the future, or we can let the future shape us.

To be fair even men dont vote in Vatican City. So I'm glad to finally see the number hit 100%!

@shibaprasad Awesome, I'm happy that I've helped make this a space you enjoy!

A great mathematician legend from Bihar who worked for NASA in landing of first man on moon and also achieved breakthrough in mathematics died yesterday. Suffering from schizophrenia he left academics and returned to his village Bhojpur. No one was there to look after him. He just solve problems regularly and used to teach some poor kids. Although living in poor conditions, he never complained. No one came from any authority to atleast check on him.It just feels like he had been used and thrown . He died lying on a stretcher outside hospital. No ambulance or any service was provided by government . This is truly nadir of our society.
May his soul rest in peace. A true inspiration- Vashishtha Narayan singh

For todays #FollowFriday I'm going to do something a bit different. We have a lot of new users, one of the biggest surges we have seen in a while. As such a lot of new users are looking for high quality, long-standing, accounts to follow. Similarly many of the new users need some help getting attention and making new friends.

As such I am going to do this #FF in a few parts. One for old users I have mentioned in previous posts, as well as some of the new users who have been making quality posts and been active for at least a week now. Hopefully this will be more helpful.

Also a section for some bots might be useful.

I will use a persons profile description here as I dont want to misrepresent anyone.
