Average naturalist. Hesitant ecologist. Confused conservationist. Weary of experts. Loves play-doh. And maps. Wants to write better code.

Why is "India (English)" not in this list, Google Docs? Choosing "India" for locale uses Hindi in my sheet, which I do not want. I just want ₹ or ₨ for my currency symbol and English. Surely that's how the majority of your current Indian users expect to use your product?

When a university chooses silence as its professor faces arrest over absurd insinuations, what values is it truly protecting? Leadership demands neither reckless defiance nor cowardly capitulation, but the spine to stand in an uneasy space where principles and pragmatism collide.

When simple words need special sleuths To parse their wicked, hidden truths, Then guilt arises not from what is said, But the scent the hounds hold in their head.

Many unexplored questions here: - Does community enable the platform, or vice versa? - Should natural history data/ expertise remain in the commons, or can it become extractive commodity? - How must a platform like iNat trade off community foundations against corporate funding?

Utterly 🤮 service by Southern Railway . For something known all day, no updates provided on the NTES app. Just 40 minutes prior to claimed on-time departure of Shatabdi from Central, message sent to passengers to reach Arakkonnam— a place some 2½ hrs away—within an hour.
