    but because India’s government is one of the most corrupt in the world

    This same country also has a space organization that is well-respected all around the world. If we can launch rockets, we sure as hell can build a secure Linux based distro lol.

      Half the mobile rom teams are Indian devs

      We have some serious manpower for cheap, that’s smart, development/employment focused, and intuitive

        No doubt about it. Indian devs all over open source. But do you really think they will recruit the FOSS crew when contracting time comes lol

          I want to make my own thing with their DE

          stuff based on opensuse as a base(leap for workstation, tumbleweed for consumer and enterprise for enterprise users, see how it shapes out

        My country once successfully launched 104 satellites with a single rocket. And this guy really believes we can’t build a secure linux distro because we’re nothing more than a “3rd world country poised to become the newest sweatshop of the developed world”. Wow, okay dude.

            no logical sense except the indigenous technology advancements that make sure india doesn’t need to rely on others for crucial operations (US denying gps info to india comes to mind) along with the money that they earn from private satellite launches, yes.

            i wonder why this is so easy for you, surely it isn’t because you are conveniently ignoring all the positives of a space program.

                what reasons are real enough for you?

                is a navigation system real enough? are weather satellites helping with disasters and saving lives real enough? is telecommunications real enough? is the millions they earn from private satellites real enough?

                i’m sorry all of this falls under propaganda for you. for me personally, these are all real enough to warrant a space program.

                But I can admit when I’m wrong

                doesn’t look like it

                  doesn’t look like it

                  His brain thinks a country that can successfully launch rockets surely doesn’t have what it takes to build a secure linux distro. You think that brain is capable of admitting to mistakes?

            Hey, another example of India doing something that makes no logical sense just for the PR

            Only 2 of those 104 satellites were Indian. Rest all were foreign satellites. In fact 96 of them were from the USA. But yeah, obviously all these foreign satellites satellites serve no purpose whatsoever. Obviously they were launched just so ISRO could score some PR points 😂

            There is absolutely nothing impressive about launching 104 satellites in one go. What would be truly impressive is building a linux distro, amirite?

            Man, you all are making this easy
