  • I think they can do more in terms of more hardening of the browser. Of course they can. But I don’t see dishonesty here, plenty of Indian contributors across all varieties of projects. Even if it was of indian origin, which I don’t think it is. I wouldn’t be worried unless I see government interference or religious extremists involved.

    Historically Indian government is least bothered with trying to undermine or put backdoors in projects like these. They’re not great at privacy mind you, just unbithered, though lobbying from the giants is changing it but it’s not as evident as the west at least for now.



  • Misinformed people gonna misinform. As far as I see, I don’t see a security risk as well.

    FYI

    Garuda is from Sanskrit just means eagle. It’s a just a word from a language. Doesn’t have anything to do with religion. Word exists in not just indic language but also austro asiatic languages like Thai, Bahasa, Vietnamese etc. Also used in south east Asia and even Korean Japan in some epics, although modern ones translate them.

    Indonesia’s national airlines is Garuda airlines. All I see is someone familiar with any of these languages just wanted to make eagle linux. I don’t see a scam just people being people.





  • With banks and financial services in general being a bitch about changing contact details. That’s a form and a visit to the branch for each bank, broker, investment advisor, direct fund provider. That’s already almost 30 applications. I haven’t even counted stuff like vehicular services, government tax portal, property tax portal, electricity provider, gas provider, internet provider. Not all of whom allow changing for email address digitally or without some complicated support ticket.

    It’s such a mountain of changes I myself have only gotten through the list halfway and it’s been 4 years of trying. I can never recommend that to anyone in my family, they’ll just hate me.

    P.s. This might just be my country specific problem, I understand other countries are easier.
