emergencyfood,

Look at the party affiliations of the winner and runner-up.

emergencyfood,

Ah, I see. India has the Communist Party of India, the CPI (Marxist), the CPI (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, the Communist Marxist Party, and the CMP-A, the Revolutionary Marxist Party, and an even greater number of socialist parties. They have aligned with and against each other through the ages, but I just posted this combination because I found it while going through last week’s election results and found it funny.

emergencyfood,

There are no ads on Lemmy anyway. Why are you being asked to pay for that?

Ruling party loses absolute majority in elections to the Indian Parliament, but likely to form government with support of allies (www.thehindu.com)

Preliminary results for the 2024 Indian General election suggest that the Bharatiya Janata Party is set to lose its absolute majority in the lower house of Parliament. However, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) it leads is projected to cross the halfway mark. The opposition INDIA alliance is projected to more than double...

Regional Trends:

North India

  • The opposition alliance is projected to win a narrow majority of seats in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state. Previously, the NDA had 64 out of the state’s 80 seats.
  • The NDA is successfully defending all seats in Delhi, Uttarkhand and Himachal Pradesh, but has lost seats in Haryana.
  • The contest in Punjab is between two opposition parties, with the Congress holding a narrow lead over the AAP.
  • In Jammu and Kashmir, the NDA and INDIA are leading in two seats each, with an independent candidate taking the final seat. Ladakh, too, has an independent taking the lead.

West India

  • The NDA is successfully defending almost all seats in Madhya Pradesh and Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat.
  • The opposition is winning Maharashtra from the NDA, and making gains in Rajasthan.

East India

  • The NDA has retained most seats in Bihar and Chattisgarh, but is losing some seats in Jharkhand.
  • Both the NDA and the INDIA have failed to make inroads into West Bengal, where the Trinamool Congress holds its ground.
  • The NDA has swept Odisha, previously ruled by the BJD, a regional party.
  • Results in the north-east are mixed, with the NDA holding the plains and regional parties and INDIA making gains in the hill states.
  • In particular, the opposition is leading in both seats in Manipur, which went through ethnic violence over the last year.

South India

  • The NDA has retained its majority in Karnataka, won Andhra Pradesh from the neutral YSRCP, and made inroads into Telangana (at the expense of the neutral BRS).
  • The opposition retained all but one seat in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and made inroads into Karnataka and Telangana.
emergencyfood,

Unless the NDA fall short of a majority, would independents even matter that much? It might send a bad signal regarding violence in politics, but that’s about it.

emergencyfood,

6$ is about 500 rupees. I can get another HDD for double that price.

I do copy some important files to Google Drive, but I don’t pay for it, and I don’t rely on it.

emergencyfood,

Thank you. On that note, when backing up, is there a way to compare the two versions, see if one has become corrupted, and copy the good version to both? It would be sad if your primary copy got corrupted, and you overwrote all other copies with it.

emergencyfood,

So which filesystems are better for archiving?

emergencyfood,

My external HD is working well, but the computer’s HD seems to be of poor quality. I’m worried that once the primary copy gets corrupted, the mistakes will then be copied to the external HD as well. (Although if I understand rsync correctly, this shouldn’t happen.)

emergencyfood,

Right, which is why I prefer to rely on local backups. Much cheaper in the long run.

emergencyfood,

Jaguars live in South America. Gorillas live in Africa. Even gorilla vs lion is very unlikely, since (most) gorillas live in the rainforest and African lions live in the savanna.

emergencyfood,

Leopards do attack gorillas, and they probably kill babies. But a leopard weighs, on average, about half as much as an adult gorilla, so attacks on adults might not be that common.

emergencyfood,

Ancient China did have a lot of Central Asian and Turkic white people. Red hair, blue eyes and all. They just weren’t European whites.

Exit polls say ruling NDA expected to retain majority in Indian Parliamentary elections. (www.thehindu.com)

Following the last day of voting for the 2024 Indian Parliamentary elections, exit polls predicted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s National Democratic Alliance would retain its majority, winning 340 - 401 seats compared to 353 in 2019. The main opposition INDIA alliance was expected to win 109 - 169 seats, up from 91 in...

emergencyfood,

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think cars and heavy vehicles should report overspeeding and other reckless behaviour to the traffic police.

emergencyfood,

I think a good compromise would be the car only reporting you if you cross the speed limit. But then, you’d have to take the manufacturer’s word for it.

emergencyfood,

Inb4 cars are required to jam phone signal when in use.

emergencyfood,

Oh so that’s why South Korea’s birth rate is plummeting. It all makes sense now.

emergencyfood,

I mean, saying a model is cheaper than the latest iPhone is like saying Teslas are cheaper than Mercedes-Benz.

emergencyfood,

How does the battery having a short daily life get the user to buy more? If anything, won’t it give the company a bad name?

emergencyfood,

From Israel’s POV, the answer is simple. Stop giving money and weapons to Hamas. The Palestinian Authority has UN not-membership and widespread international recognition; without Israeli interference they will displace Hamas from Gaza. This will also keep Israelis relatively safe, since unlike Hamas the PA are okay with a compromise.

And when has appeasement ever worked?

Since WW2. There have been multiple occassions since then when country A was being an arse and country B had a moral and legal right to retaliate, but didn’t. And thanks to their restraint, WW3 hasn’t happened yet.
