Hello to everyone following my tweets today! I retweet things that upset me, so I'm sorry for the grief it fills your timeline with. If you have other things to bring into my timeline, please do! Some background to today's article in the Deccan Herald:


That's my vehicle number and I've driven 400 km in the past week, more than my average quarter, so this got my attention – but really? With an APK attachment? We've normalised sideloading this much? Govt innovation in coercion 🤝 Fraudsters

Their brains can't stretch to understand pre independent India. They think India was one whole big cake which Nehru & Gandhi cut in pieces. 😅

In 1757 when Clive Won Plassey, the Maratha Empire ruled from Pune, the Mughal Emperor was on the throne of Delhi, The Wodeyars were on the throne of Mysore before Hyder Ali, The Nizam was on the throne of Hyderabad. These were all independent Kingdoms and Empires and there was…

Where do they keep their brain when coming up with such policies? Now if i travel abroad for few weeks I can’t even use international sim otherwise all these apps will be logged out.

Please scrap the TIUE regulation @narendramodi . This SIM binding thing is a mess, and goes against what your government said when telecom act was passed. Two things here: 1. When he was telecom minister and the telecom act was passed, @AshwiniVaishnaw had assured that OTTs were…

Like- if you wanted compliance, penalise the bank that's not sending those details? Or the billing platform? See how quickly you'd achieve compliance. But no, our default is going to be to make the customer suffer on their highest stakes actions.

I expect the apps to push back against this extremely hard, or withdraw from India. Having dealt with SIM binding for many years, it is quite a pain. An explainer 👇 Firstly, for SIM binding to be secure, you need to add at least 20 other conditions that apps need to abide by.…

Imho, this is bad kind of tech/security regulation. Tech companies develop and adopt security-enhancing measures much faster than the govt. Was there a market failure of any kind?

Ms @pritipatel, Netanyahu is wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court. It’s your duty to have him arrested, not to pose for selfies like a star-struck teenager.

A great meeting with my friend @netanyahu and discussion about how we must stand together to fight for the freedoms and values our countries are founded on. Israel is a beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle East and our friend and ally. We must never forget the…

I fucking cannot stand it at all that all nuclear power plants do is boil water. The history of humanity is nothing but boiling water. In the future there will be new ways to boil water and that's it. Fuck it

When they finally crack nuclear fusion, how will they convert that energy into electricity? Don’t tell me it’s just gonna be boiling water again…
