This reminds me. I got some good quality Atta (Indian whole grain wheat flour) for making Rotis a few weeks ago. Haven't even opened the packet yet.

That's me. I do find some images of puppies or kittens cute though. But never the grown up ones. And it's not that bad. I just don't go to those communities.

I'm not the one who's trying to change history here. We know that the Chinese have the oldest recorded tea consumption. Doesn't make that the only valid way of doing it. It's like saying that there's only one authentic way to cook a potato, which is whatever the first person did with it.

And about whatever you said about tea being a new thing in India, it's not accurate. It was first mass produced after the British came. But it actually goes back quite a bit. Camellia sinensis var. assamica is actually indigenous to the Assam region of India, and not "stolen from the Chinese". Some think that some tribes in India (Singpho, Khamti) have been consuming tea from at least the 12th Century, though they had a different name for it. Some (A Revision of the Genus Camellia by Robert Sealy) think it goes back further, but idk about that.

But honestly, that's not even the point. Why did you even feel the need to type this comment? Even if it was a 200 old tradition, that's a pretty long time. And it should be accepted as a valid way of brewing. I'm not even disputing anything. I simply pointed out that there are alternative traditions. That the world isn't fucking black and white. Seriously dude, when did I say anything that claimed that Indians invented tea? This isn't twitter, no need to do this shit here.

Why do you think that the Chinese way is the only way to prepare authentic tea? It's so weird dude. We have an ancient tea tradition in India. That's my point. That a purist might think this method as the proper way too. And it'd be just as valid.

Which is a type of tea.

Truly one of the doods of all time.

It depends. It's perfectly acceptable to boil the tea for many Indian preparations (usually called cha or chai).

Ok

It's Lemmy, you're anonymous, of course I don't know shit about you. You may be the most wonderful person in real life, but I'll only respond to what you say here. So this defense is utter bullshit. Don't post on anonymous forums and then complain that people don't know anything about you before replying to your comments. That's the whole point of anonymous forums. That people only reply to what you explicitly post, and nothing else.

Also, I'd suggest not taking any of this personally. None of us are properly represented online. All this criticism is just about your opinion on this one topic, and do not reflect our (at least mine) opinion about you as a person. (Because we have no idea about you as a person.)

When it's the software that's actually faulty. As others have mentioned, Firefox usually sticks to the standards. You're just using some peculiarities of Chromium, which is why you might be having issues. Anyway, this actually seems irrelevant to your stance, since you care more about the market share. Which is fine, being profit driven and all. But then you shouldn't get annoyed when people like me call you lazy.

You do realize that you had the experience due to lazy developers such as yourself?

I can attest to that. I was born and brought up in India, and right now in the US for education. It's kind of the same here as well, just expressed differently due to cultural differences. The fact that the US is actually the world leader at this time makes these people much more dangerous imo.

In any case, I'm more hopeful about my country after the last election. They seem to be rejecting religious fundamentalism to some degree. It'll take time, but I think we're finally starting to see through BJP's lies. I hope I can go back to India soon enough. (It's hard to get good jobs in my field there at the moment. Counting on it changing at some point.)
