Read about what happened in India in 1526.
Read about the gunpowder empire.
In 1193, Khilji set fire to the libraries of Nalanda University in India. It was the biggest library in the world. It burned for three months.
During the Delhi Sultanate, over 30,000 temples were not merely destroyed but decapitated and turned into mosques. Over 90% of the Muslims in India today are descended from Hindus, Jains and Buddhists who were forced to convert.
Countless Rajput and Sikh warriors died defending the sovereignty of the land, and when wars were lost, Rajput women, all wives, mothers and little girls, would burn themselves alive, because Mughal armies wouldn't even spare dead bodies from rape.
The only reason the Indian heartland never became part of the Islamic caliphate was because of how religious the countrymen were at the time, and how intertwined all dharmic religions were with a sense of duty.
Modern-day godless countries don't stand even a slight chance. Because your enemy is an Islamic invader who believe in his god more than you do in yours, and will fight to conquer your country more than you'll ever fight to save it. You can have billions in your war chest and all the tech under the sun, but if your own people are bankrupt of their history, you've already lost the war Islam is fighting: The holy war, the war of faith.
Burning paintings, destroying monuments, looting, and vandalizing sculptures is just the beginning. Just you wait till Sainte-Chapelle becomes a mosque 500 years from now, and your great-great-great grandson will never know it was once a church. He will be gaslit by the Islamic intellectual class telling him how Sainte-Chapelle always was a mosque.
They hate beauty. They hate Christianity. They hate every Western value that built European civilization. They were never here to join it, It was always to conquer.
These are third worldists, radical Islamists, and the leftists who import and enable them, people with no attachment to the West they’re overrunning.
Our European ancestors were getting cut in half with swords and axes to secure this inheritance for us. They would look at what we’ve done with it, open borders, cultural surrender, entire cities treated as disposable and see cowards who handed their civilization to people who despise it.
Our heritage means nothing to them.
10-min delivery was only Act I.
Act II is nashik-farm-to-mumbai-table within the same day. this is where i want 2 see Indian quick commerce heading.
In Prague, Czechia, you can order a week's worth of farm-fresh groceries and have it at your door in an exact 15-minute window.
Milk in glass bottles from a local family farm. Fish caught yesterday. Strawberries picked that morning.
This is all fueled by @rohlikgroup, a powerhouse from Czechia.
It’s profitable, it did >$1.3B of revenue last year, and it's accelerating European grocery delivery with Devin.
thinking out loud and pre-emptive interface grief is such a stupidly modern wound.
it is not just the sadness of losing a browser. it is the quieter thing that happens after. the part where you become less available to the next browser.
arc did this first. it made the browser feel nice. then atlas came close again, because the side chat made the web feel less like a pile of pages and more like something i could sit with. question. argue with. understand. and now i feel myself looking at dia with hesitation. i want to love it. i want to let it become part of my thinking. but some part of me is already hedging. already wondering how long before this too is sunset.
this is the part product people should think about more. stickiness is not just features, retention curves, onboarding, or switching costs. stickiness is trust. it is the feeling that if i build little rituals around your product, you will not make me feel stupid for having cared.
miss you arc.
@joshm in the ruins of several beautiful interfaces, pretending all roads do not lead back to chrome.
Lastly, with all these updates, we are going to be sunsetting Atlas.
All these capabilities were built on what we learned from Atlas users who took a leap of faith on a new browser.
You taught us how agents can help make browsing and doing work on the open web better, and we are applying these learnings to these new products.
The current targeted date for deprecation is 8/9, and we'll share more information in the upcoming days both in-app and via email.
Thank you all for your support and we hope you love these new features!
people do not evaluate things in isolation, they kinda also evaluate the stories attached to them and because name is a shortcut to many assumptions one should be deliberate and know what the words would be assumed into

@protosphinx's spaces are culturally important. should happen more often but my increasingly fringe opinion is that he should stop trying to schedule spaces and simply leave a 20-minute vns every day. they would be a public good.
watching vaibhav suryavanshi is like watching impossible things often enough. he makes me take greatness for granted i think. his approach to batting kinda feels like someone with confidence that is usually reserved for people who have misunderstood the rules.
