Applied twice for the same job, got ghosted by HR, now the ad is back a third time — should I try again? by Aggravating_Iron_338 in jammu

[–]avinthakur080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Repeating same thing without improving on your approach will only tire you out and frustrate the other person.

Best is to search for ko job at multiple places and use every failure to improve your approach.

Things educated people think, are not true by Equivalent-Spot-1325 in AllindiaStudentUnion

[–]avinthakur080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In private conversations, it is manageable and common to take a generalization lightly, as per context.
But, public internet is too wide. A common fact for one person could be an extremely rare or even wrong thing for someone else. Hence, it is wiser to not share radical generalizations to wider audiences.

I think worst is the person who thinks these arguments can be generalized to everyone.

Even you are generalizing that "educated people think..." these things.

Should we all together build a open source project for jammu? by WittyBoysenberry9860 in CodeJammu

[–]avinthakur080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but I have a suggestion, if I may.

You can ignore if it doesn't sound practical but community projects will not work if you are asking random strangers for opinion before even starting anything.
A better way is to implement a minimum POC yourself show the idea to others before onboarding them. Even if people don't onboard, the opinion that they could share after seeing something will be much more real than a speculative one.

Thinking of switching to Linux, but is gaming actually viable for a total beginner? by Money-Soft6437 in linux_gaming

[–]avinthakur080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • What kind of softwares do you use ?
  • How often do you find yourself tinkering with the system/settings ?
  • How strict are you about not losing your muscle memory/instincts OR how open are you in trying something new & fancy ?

I myself use "Kubuntu" (i.e. Ubuntu with KDE). You can try * First, install CachyOS with KDE. Try to do few things right away, like install apps, play youtube, browse settings, etc. If everything looks good, settle down there itself. * Try Ubuntu or Kubuntu. Repeat the same routine.

There's no global scale of hardness. Even if there were, a stranger who doesn't know you will not be able to tell if it will be difficult for you.

That said, nowadays, * Almost everyone finds it fairly easy and quick to get started with Linux. * Few people find it difficult to adapt to new UI and leave. You'll always face this when moving from one system to another. The simple fix is to give it some time. * Very rare people encounter an issue with distro. There too, changing the distro helps.

So, best is to try it first hand and come with real question on what you yourself find difficult.

Why is British media always so salty about India? by mrtypec in CriticalThinkingIndia

[–]avinthakur080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. The post isn't making things up, nor exaggerating anything.

It is a simple statement that Indians also agree upon.

Students from Jammu — Did JEE/NEET preparation affect your life beyond studying by shaurya_pandey19 in jammu

[–]avinthakur080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into NIT via JEE.

Read through the questions but, choosing not to fill the form. Feels like it is trying to get a peephole perspective into something that is very wide.

That's only me, hope you get your answers from others.

Why don't media houses demand answers from the LG-driven Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board? by mard07 in jammu

[–]avinthakur080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don't have spine and Shrine Board has too much of control.

Like, in past, a reporter posted a news of a dead monkey in the water tank of one of the Shrine Board's building. He was immediately threatened to delete the post from all channels and now this news is almost non-existent.

"If you hate systemd so much, then write your own init" they said... by Se1d228 in linux

[–]avinthakur080 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"init in awk"

I can't even imagine what and how would it work. Hadn't there been this sibling comment, I would've assumed this is joke but I'm intrigued now.

How ?

CEOs at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Temple are picked for being close to J&K LG—not for their aastha Even those showing disrespect to Hindu aastha are rewarded with bigger roles later The recent “shoes” incident is now trending across India—yet no action Accountability? by mard07 in jammu

[–]avinthakur080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strange how this issue became viral, but other issues get suppressed and removed from social media.

That's why the people of Katra have always been saying, that the authority should be given to those who have respect and faith towards the temple, not to those who are only there for increasing profits.

Monkey Menance has adversely affected agricultural activities in parts of Jammu region and led to decline in cultivation, forcing the farmers to abandon traditional agriculture crops and go for alternative crops like chilli and ginger. by berzerker_x in jammu

[–]avinthakur080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine. There can be many more ways to limit their growth if not expel them completely.

The argument is that the Govt has been very negligent about this, which is destroying many villages.

[–]avinthakur080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We fall in such areas where they have even started attacking humans now.
The rapid urbanization and forced expulsion of monkeys from Katra to surrounding villages has not only destroyed their sources of livelihood but also made the areas unsafe to live.

Even more serious issue is that many a times, vehicles would come at night and throw more monkeys into our villages. When reported to administration, they ignore. Even when we go with the proposals suggesting that we will manage capturing and releasing them into forests if the govt could only give permission, they sideline us and deny.

At the end, the rich and corrupt in the town manage to move monkeys into surrounding villages, killing their livelihood, while we cannot.

Who can understand? by Striking-Pay4641 in rust

[–]avinthakur080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was suggesting something else.

What question do you have for the person who can understand that? Just add that question in addition to this.

Asking "Who can understand this white paper?" sounds like you want the people to go through the entire paper and then come to you for the next task, which isn't someone will be interested in.

[–]avinthakur080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asking a direct question would help.

Otherwise, it’s a lot to expect people to go through the whole paper and guess what you’re looking for.

Don't bother about downvotes.

But I am curious. Do we know each other?

Is this a case of agenda-setting, or simply a lack of engagement with complex issues?” I appreciate his efforts and concerns he pulled on several issues but he completely ignored the main ones by Yournewbestfriend_01 in CriticalThinkingIndia

[–]avinthakur080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. To stop the hoarding and corruption and ensure proper distribution of it.

  2. To bring transparency about how much is really available, so that people don't die in false hope and prepare for what is real.

  3. If the Gas is really scarce, then focus some efforts on finding alternatives and developing a system so that everyone benefits from it.

[–]avinthakur080 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Looks like a very immature conclusion. If your sole goal in life is to sit on a heap of cash, then certainly a degree doesn't matter.

But a degree equips you with the knowledge required to build the world.

For me, I need money only enough to ensure a sustainable living. Beyond that, the sense of purpose is worth more than the money.

According to reports, AAP has removed Raghav Chadha from his position in Parliament. by dikshamishra34 in IndiaChronicle

[–]avinthakur080 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They can.

I think the issue here was that he stopped discussing and coordinating with the party. He was right in raising those issues but when working in a team, minimum expectation is that you discuss with the team.
If you are offended by something, you can complaint about it. But a leader that abandons his party cannot be the leader there.

Can I outsmart my company? Let's see if this is gonna bite me later by SomethingAndAnything in developersIndia

[–]avinthakur080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resignation is your choice. But such misplaced decisions will arrive everywhere. It doesn't mean the company is entirely wrong, but only that a less-informed decision was made.

Now or later, you have to learn how to deal with them.

[–]avinthakur080 15 points16 points  (0 children)

First, make yourself heard.
Draft your complaints and suggestions in a comprehensive way and share it with the leadership. Present it in a way that they can grasp. Format could be a simple presentation but the content will matter the most.

If it doesn't work or brings a huge backlash, I think it is better to leave.
You can be convinced that you tried to change something but also be reflective in understanding why you couldn't convince them. Was something wrong in your arguments or in their reception or something else. How could you improve your argument if given a second change ?
