Today is the 33rd birthday of #aaronswartz, he fought to free #knowledge and killed by flawed unjust system that valued money over humanity. Let's remember him, and continue the battle he has started #knowledgefreedom #creativecommons

At individual level, changes can be made but harmful spike in pollution post Diwali. Raging farm fires & unfavourable weather. Hot-mix plants & stone-crushers for construction & demolition activities. Coal & fuel-based industries, not yet shifted to natural gas/agro-residue.
'Emergency levels' are pushing people to avoid outdoor exposure & to work from home wherever feasible. Even that isn't helping, because of breathing issues. Solutions must be found to tackle #AirPollution
In case of #Delhi #pollution, 40% of it is coming from vehicular emissions. This is a place where people can make an impact, use public transport as much as possible even if there is an inconvenience involved. It reduces pollution as well as traffic.
Add what else can be done to address caste discrimination in comments
For those who say #casteism is dead, people are dead #caste not. Every institutions should have enough measures to prevent it
There should be at least
1. a working grievance redressal system
2. strict rules to address caste based #discrimination and its strict enforcement
3. visible campaigns against caste based discrimination
4. a strict privacy policy
5. and more..
This would've been a necessity if those who are in key position were victims of discrimination, apparently they are not.

Just learnt what the #Fediverse is and about #peertube.
This is incredibly fascinating! Mastodon is just one aspect of the Fediverse. There are other open source services too!
Watch this video.

My dream for Mastodon is for it to be a viable choice as a publishing platform for any creator. In other words, for people to not feel like they're locked in to Twitter or Instagram if they want to be professionally successful.

#peertube 2.0 is out!
https://framablog.org/2019/11/12/peertube-has-worked-twice-as-hard-to-free-your-videos-from-youtube/
There is no reason to continue using Youtube.
I wish people recording opensource conferences videos could avoid uploading to Youtube...

Education is the basic human right of each and every citizen.
It must be provided by govt with minimum fee so that everyone can afford it.
If you are so worried abt your tax money then ask your govt to not spent 1000s Crores on statues/Advertisements etc.

This computing pioneer was among the first to read an email in Thiruvananthapuram in 1984
It is the late 1970s, the end of a tumultuous decade. CV Radhakrishnan is a young man of 25 or 26 who has just given up a promising job in Delhi and come back home to Kanyakumari. The doctors in Delhi gave him five years.
Inspiring story of CVR. #tex #latex #FreeSoftware #typesetting I have been to this campus and stayed there many days.

Indians are responding to non Democratic behavior of #twitter. This is an important news because these profit making centralized social medias can never be unbiased, its a structural problem.
Why beg Twitter for actions when we can have freedom at #mastodon.
