most of my friends found their companions not by actively dating, but rather by focusing on 1 person they were mildly interested to begin w the more we get caught up in distractions, less likely it is for us to explore meaningful depth good enough is a great place to begin w

@clearlysid i think you are thinking only from a consumer lens and not the merchant lens. pos devices are expensive. qr codes are cheap and convenient. dhaniya walas accepting payment via tap to pay would have them incur charges which they might not be prepared for.

how is @perplexity_ai able to fetch content from sites that are not open-source? for example one of the answers referenced a Statista article which is only accessible to paid customers is it just metadata scraping, or is there something more happening under the hood?

The haweli right there is the one where my forefathers stayed in. It’s located in a small town in Rajasthan. It feels surreal to lay eyes on something like this. This place will now be used by the Govt to construct a hospital. That’s both nostalgia and pride kicking in! 🩵
