    I live in the southern state of India called Kerala, we had a huge flood that wreaked havoc in 2018. Just last week, we had these huge floods again, but it was not big as last time. This week it is floods in northern India. This is not normal, and we are noticing these scenarios which are affecting millions of people. The people at the top who are supposed to make rules to mitigate this are making the people fight amongst themselves. I don't know how much time till we get until it's too late. I hope we can overcome this.

    I usually like dogs more than cats, even though I don't have a dog (Family doesn't like pets). We had cats coming into our property who ask for food, and we would give them, but none of them stayed for more than a week. One cat who was injured in her leg asked for food, and she stayed until she felt better. She gave birth to 4 kittens, but she passed away after 2 months due to suspected poisoning. We had to protect the kittens, so we built a small shelter for them while giving milk. One day a stray dog intruded our premises and killed the 3 of 4 kittens. My dad fed & protected the surviving one until he was mature enough. He lives in a small shelter near our home, is friendly and asks for food most of the time. He eats a lot, though. We named him Kitu.

    I use macOS for Work, Linux for Personal stuff, Windows for Gaming. I still prefer Linux to anything. It's lightweight, FOSS, privacy respecting and fast. I have mint installed on my 11 yo laptop, and it still kicks like a warhorse during web development.

    I also use Firefox on all my devices (PC,Mac, Android), In Android only 6/10 times it will show Search Password in Firefox when I select any login form in the browser or any app. It's kinda annoying. I spent more time in my Mac so I don't consider it a big deal.
