I’m not sure how accurate StatCounter is, given that most Linux users use adblockers. However, according to it, Linux has almost a 14% desktop share in India.

      C is for Cognizant btw. But Cisco wouldn’t be too far off.

      It’s a desi-fied version of WITCH, for those familiar with that term.

      We use TCS and Accenture at my work and I’m aware of us using Cognizant and HCL as well. You’re bang on fuck all those companies and also “first world” compankes for fucking the local employment market and fucking overseas workers.

      Race to the bottom. Nothing matters but the bottom line.

      I don’t know much about this CHWTIA. But I do know someone who works at Capgemini, can you tell me why they are considered exploitative? Genuinly curious.

        Underpay and overwork their Indian workers like a motherfucker.

        Return to office is mandated back to 5 days a week and 9 hours a day minimum at some of these places. The company makes bank but the workers get cents on a dollar.

          Well, l*wda is also sexist and misandrist, and used just as often, and so are mixed slurs like bkl or mkl. Every culture has these kinds of slurs. And it will be decades before that changes in India, or any country, because “westernisation” will no longer gain cultural traction, as it is beginning to hurt many people brazenly.

        chatiya? chetiya? chitiya? chotiya? chutiya?

        Why are you censoring yourself? I’m not sure that word means anything in English.

            That may be, but most Hindi speakers are quite concentrated in one area of the world and IIRC make up less than 10% of fediverse or something.

              Many Indians simply type English on the internet, because foreigners cannot understand Hindi. However Indians among themselves often use Hindi, just like Chinese, Russians, those who speak Spanish, Esperanto or Portuguese (Brasil). That does not mean those languages have less speakers, they are just not visible on “western corporate” internet.
