Nayapay ne thore ghaple kiye hain but consider it future-proofing.

@mujhemaardo Some of us have been patiently waiting for this yk.

@maybe_ghuf @PathanticBaji Wait, OOTL here. Has the Marxism-Leninism-Mianism tendency officially dissolved?

Anyone who loves Iran more than Pakistan is free to move there. Anyone who loves any other country more than Pakistan is free to move there. What’s wrong in this

@rantspakistani Eid Mubarak to Islam dushman anasir only. 🥰💖💖

@matchaf4iry U may have but the world can never forget something this iconic.
English

@rantspakistani Yup. Managed bumble for my friend and she had 1500+ likes in 3 days.
Meanwhile I never even cracked like 10 over 2 years across the entire country.
Was a completely different app experience. And eventually I also became super shallow in my interactions with her matches.

@newwnnue @ycrliu @TheVixhal Yeah I am well aware of that. Software engineering is not CS. However it is a very big chunk of employment opportunity available to CS grads.
English

since we're talking about comp sci which famously includes required studies of logic - walk me through your logic here...
just because most CS grads write software doesn't mean CS itself is defined by software engineering. hell most CS grads come out woefully unprepared to work as an actual SWE and learn more in their first 2 years than anything on the degree
English

Computer science is gradually returning to the domain of physicists, mathematicians, and electrical engineers as large language models automate much of what we currently call software engineering.
The field’s center of gravity is shifting away from manual code writing and toward deeper theoretical thinking, mathematical insight, and systems-level reasoning.
English

@ycrliu @TheVixhal Lol why the personal attack. Of course writing code and building applications and websites isn't computer science but you'd also be willfully ignorant to deny that is the majority of career options available to people with computer science degrees, even if it's not CS.
English

@TheVixhal "Computer science" was never about software engineering. The reason everyone is now turning on CS is because uncritical people like you conflated the two.
CS was always about theory and practice to prepare you for research- compilers, formal languages, algorithms, comp arch, etc

@omer_javed @navift @bluemagicboxes Millions of motorcycles remain primary means of transport exactly BECAUSE of the underfunding and underdevelopment of public transport. It's simply not feasible or convenient to use public transport entirely. This is entirely a policy failure.
English

@navift @bluemagicboxes Pakistan is a unique country where millions of motorcycles serve as a primary means of transport, even for families.This not only costs billions in imported fuel but also causes problems such as a high rate of road accidents, pollution, road congestion, and children riding bikes.
English

While Pakistan is now struggling to meet energy demands, it is an important reminder for public policy makers that they should have invested more in public transport.
Instead they build underpasses, flyovers and motorways.
Very low investment in Railways and urban public transport.
We import fuel. Forex burden on Pakistan. Still our urban authorities want to promote sprawl and more car usage by discouraging density, public transport, walkability, cycling, and mixed use living.
Short term vote gains and other incentives have compromised the economic sovereignty with many such flawed policy decisions and public investments.

@Aurat_marchisb This year literally exposed everything — your funding sources, your actions, and the master you serve behind closed doors. The agenda is simple.

@NajamAli2020 @jf17hit Can you give any other examples in the world of private business that operates the production and distribution of electricity?
English

BE READY FOR A NEW BUSINESS
Once people decide to go off-grid, an entirely parallel energy economy will emerge.
Those with capital will begin installing large battery storage systems and supplying electricity to neighbourhood clusters through private cabling and informal micro-grids.
The state will become irrelevant.
Ammar Khan@rogueonomist
@NajamAli2020 @Safi_gr They should not pay boss. Everyone should install battery and go off grid. Should be great for everyone

@nasirgabol_LFC @ewnowayonearth Kaam karay apna. It's a professional working relationship.
Do you want people to comment and discuss all aspects of your life that stray from the norm?

@ewnowayonearth What do you mean? If something that should’ve happened in her 20s still hasn’t happened in her 30s, she definitely needs prayers. Same goes for a man in his 40s

There is no shortage of anger here, and rightly so. The Islamabad High Court’s latest theatrics reveal a deeper rot: the judiciary bending to the loudest voices in uniform, turning courtrooms into platforms for power rather than places of justice. If you want to talk about justice for Imaan Z Hazir and Adv Hadiali, start by acknowledging the pattern we’ve been watching for years—a system that treats accountability as an optional accessory, to be worn only when convenient.
The claim “they won’t get justice” isn’t a prophecy; it’s the predictable outcome when courts become pawns in a game of generals. Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar’s offhand question, “Do you consider them lawyers?” isn’t just a derisive jab; it’s a mirror held up to a system that devalues the very professionals it should respect. If the bar and the bench can be so casually weaponized, what faith remains in due process? What message does that send to every whistleblower, journalist, or citizen who dares to step into a courtroom with a voice?
Pakistani courts are not some eternal shield protecting the powerful; they’re a disappointment when they resemble pet dogs wagging at the feet of the strong. The implication is clear: justice depends not on the merits of a case but on the logistics of who can press which buttons at which hour. When a judiciary cowers before generals, it’s not just the accused who suffer; the entire society corrodes. Trust erodes, rights dwindle, and people begin to believe the system itself is a tool of oppression rather than a mechanism of fairness.
This isn’t about one petition, one hearing, or one name. It’s about a culture that normalizes impunity and excuses the absence of accountability. If there’s any solace to be found, it’s in recognizing the pattern for what it is and demanding something different: transparent procedures, independent oversight, and judges who resist becoming instruments of coercion. Without that, the “justice” we pretend to seek will forever remain a hollow slogan. The clock is ticking, and indifference isn’t a neutral stance—it’s a dangerous veto on justice.
English

🚨🚨
Anybody still expect Imaan and Hadi will get justice from Islamabad high court?
First #Islamabad high court trapped @ImaanZHazir & @AdvHadiali by bringing them to court to facilitate @ICT_Police in their arrest, later her petition was not fixed and today Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar even questioned their credentials that Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar asked “Do you consider them lawyers?”
