Re:India's biggest tech centers named as cyber crime hotspots on Thursday September 21, 2023 @09:30AM (#37597335)
This article is about the classes lower on economical ladder where the education is expensive. In India in contrast, 1) education is not expensive, 2) has reservations for the classes considered lower on economical, caste/community, gender scales. So this conjecture does not hold true because of the ground realities. Scammers are criminal elements who want to make a quick buck like everywhere else in the World and there are plenty of options available for deserving candidates, based on talent, qualifications and relevant experience, and definitely not on their background.

Re:1k Met Police officers suspended or on restricted duties on Thursday September 21, 2023 @12:57AM (#37593384)
I have no clue of it being a political issue in this particular instance. I would categorize it under Crime than Politics from the first paragraph I read. From the comments I can see that this would interest some on HN but IMHO this is too regional. If the purpose of HN is to find "Anything that good hackers would find interesting", this does not fit the bill. Answering generally, the topic of police corruption being inherently political or not, isn't it too wide to speculate? Police forces and LEAs are established at multiple levels like City, State/Province, Nationwide. There are factors driving Police corruption from collective psyche of the population they are suppose to serve to the individual choices; from systemic endorsements to ancient traditions, how can one generalize in the scope of the entire World?

I keep the same set of configuration on Linuxes and Windows. Works best for muscle memory.

Some of it can be achieved by Midnight Commander, maybe?
Re:Double Commander – Changes in version 1.1.0 on Wednesday September 06, 2023 @10:04AM (#37405338)
Salamander last update was 07/01/2019 so I really doubt it. Would not need it anymore though, considering advantages of Doublecmd and that is in active development since 2007.
