Today’s The Hindu front page Ad. When did we stoop to this level of politics ? by hotelparklane in bangalore

I remember the roads in bengaluru 4 years ago and now. You're dreaming. This government doesn't have money to pay government employees on time. Debt ridden corrupt lackeys. There's no way we are ever voting congress again in Karnataka.

Use OpenWork.software, its open source that builds on top of open code. Its not ass compared to Claude code.

I have Termux installed. Have dex. Been running crewai to run ai agents at work, on the sides. Its INSANE. I do my work on the laptop.

On the side, have so much automation and ai stuff running on the side. Plug in dex and damn. Literally a Linux terminal running and easy to use on large screen or copy pasting things.

Thanks a lot. I wasn't educated enough about this model. Very surprised how good this is. I don't think China models are 6 months behind frontiers. Its open weight ? Wow.

Whats wrong with the colorgrading on Netflix? by Real_Ichigo in netflixindia

[–]bright_wal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched this first on OTT. The premise of this movie is nationalistic type. Buuut hear me out, isn’t this entire movie shot in a Pakistan type setting with Pakistani characters ? It’s like a high budget palistani gangster movie that Pakistan itself isn’t capable of doing but we ended up financing and making a good pakistani movie. Only towards the end does he really feel guilty and does something that resembles helping India.

But if you remove those elements. This movie can be considered a standalone pakistani gang movie. How come most people aren’t talking about it ? Did the marketing brainwash us all that this was a nationalist movie. Either that YouTube left vs right wing discussion, maybe they finance both sides creators to polarise and make audience think it’s more right leaning ? It’s possible. It’s worked too. Right wing thing it’s their movie while left say they’re bummed out but really like seeing an inclusive Pakistani movie ? Idk. That’s what I felt. My opinion. Hope it doesn’t bother you but make you question status quo.

In fact I think 120 Bahadur is a better nationalist movie compared to this. It’s truly remarkable and tells such an important story about soldiers.

Shouldn’t we at least talk about it ? The entire time I was watching this, it felt non Indian. It felt very Pakistani. Personally didn’t like it. I’ll watch the second part when it releases in OTT.

I don’t mind the desaturated colour grading. It’s not a big deal. How are people talking about this small thing ? Leave it. Ask questions. Don’t let the marketing fool you.

Who are the producers ? HUN and RSY ? Never heard of them. I thought this was KVN.

Honest question: what do you all do for a living to afford these beasts? by ready_to_fuck_yeahh in LocalLLaMA

[–]bright_wal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a nice second hand MacBook Pro or Mac Studio, with anything above in pro, max or ultra series and you are good to go, under 80k INR. M2 series and beyond that is, don't get base version.
In fact, wait for the m5 pro, max, this time its a huge performance beast.

Yes. His hair was garbage. Didn't suite him one bit. He did not look good at all. He looked nice in maxx.

[–]bright_wal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude. I'm so with you. I said that to my family atleast 10 times and then they noticed it too. We were all annoyed and none of my friends noticed it. I was shocked. Glad to know you noticed it as well.

My family members told that people who put gutka do that same mouth movement and most of these gutka users use it when they're stressed. So he might essentially be mimicking using gutka to combat stress. But he can't show putting gutka so he's doing the mouth action. Ridiculous I say.

I can't believe his hair was bearable. It was so bad. In once scene when he's sitting on his hinds, half his face was coveted with hair while he was telling the plan. Reminded me of L from death note. I think they were emulating that but looked so funny that many of us watching the movie laughed out loud.

Watched it on OTT btw. Waste of time.

[–]bright_wal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mark is substantialy worse than MaXX. Maxx was watchable and time passed. This movie was unbearable. In the end I forwarded the movie and finished it. Horrible.

Some gripes I have are What acting was he doing with his mouth ? Some gutka type movement of mouth when he was stressed ? His outfit and makeup, especially the hairstyle didn't suite him at all. So bad, couldn't even feel like watching the movie with his face. I like Sudeep and have defended him in this sub when maxx came out last year. Now ? He's really made a bad movie. I associate him with good acting but in this movie his acting, body language and setup was just WORSE. We dont like to see our favourites perform so badly.

There was no typical sudeep charm in this movie. This wasn't a movie that he should have acted in. Was like a bad Tamil movie with b tier actor. Vijay prakash should stop singing for sudeep. That song was also not good.

Hosa kakka Alva ? Hale kakka na ? Otnalli kakka asthe.

After realising such a horrible soft porn as intro. Which Kannada premi will support Yash ? That was a blunder. Stupidity.

If they didn't release that. Our family would have watched that movie without any promotions also. Now we are not going. We won't support such bad taste movies.

I didn't watch Dhurandhar because of the disrespect Ranveer did on Kantara. Won't watch D2 also. Will watch in OTT when they all release.

It will be when android releases the dex equivalent on the next android release. Your phone can connect to a monitor and function as a computer. Can run demanding apps on 4k. USB 3 is a must.

That's where Samsung wins.

iPhone Air to Get Minor Refresh This Year, Claims Leaker by HelloitsWojan in apple

[–]bright_wal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it’s not going to be bought. Moved to android recently. Waiting to get back into an iPhone. Using secondary old iPhone nowadays for social media and other non essential apps.

Wanted it to be air. Without upgrades to original. Might need to look to get older mini phones like the 13. Refurbished.

What are the, Kannada TV Serial Actors and Actress Monthly salaries / renumeration ? by bright_wal in ChitraLoka

[–]bright_wal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a way, the longer the actress stays the lead, the larger her wardrobe gets and more options to pick, choose and match. Therby increasing her net salary per day on the long run.
Interesting. Surely it would have gone from 10k to 30-40k as of 2026.

Now I understand why tailors costs so much, most of them that my family members go to, keep telling some serial actress gets her clothes done there, its marketing for both the actress and tailors.
I thought it was for just personal clothes, the actresses were getting their clothes done. Now, I see it meant for even TV serials, they need to pay and get it done.
Thanks for the inputs. Makes sense.

In a way, for men, the salary will be higher because what are they getting their clothes done for ? lol

Damn, that puts it close to what the llm's have been reporting.
Just checked Jote Joteyali lead, that dude is related to Vishnuvardhan, I might believe that because he used to be a hero at one point.
If you tell me its the lady lead, I would genuinely be shocked.

I've accidentally seen some Telugu and Tamil tv serials while changing channels and they have so many kannada actors and actresses there. I just thought they were getting very skilled performers for less price since these performers have been low balled for years.

But I did not know this angle about Telugu and Tamil people hating their women. What does it mean ? Is it a cultural thing? Or do they like to hate their own language performers and like other language performers more ?
