@jimedrand@social.gnuweeb.org Aku capek habis marah-marah di sosmed ku. Meluap emosi demi relief sesaat, kemudian dihadapkan realita pahit. Mau istirahat dulu.

Once it has been seen, it cannot be unseen.

A revised version, using Adobe Lightroom on my Android smartphone.

@knowprose@mastodon.social I don't know bigthink on YouTube. Probably I will look into it and probably not.

I really like Ubuntu. However, I don't think I can recommend Ubuntu to Linux newcomers, simply because Ubuntu appstore only include snaps and some utility from their APT source. Linux newcomers usually ask "can I download and use Google Chrome browser on it?", and considering that the browser is not available there (I have checked it, it's not there), so regrettably, I don't think newcomers would feel welcome using Ubuntu. They can just get the browser by adding additional APT source to get Google Chrome browser, or by adding Flatpak repo in which case Google Chrome flatpak is available, and both options are not recommended to absolute Linux beginners. #ubuntu #linux

Setelah di ghosting oleh Kompas Gramedia ketika kirim lamaran dan sama sekali tidak ada kabarnya, bahkan tidak ada kabar bahwa lamaran kerja saya ditolak, saya sudah tidak ngeh lagi kalau mau beli buku di toko Gramedia. Padahal dulu sering belanja di Gramedia. Tidak akan lagi.

I think I am in love but I am not sure how to approach him.

KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TECH COMES FROM A VERY SMALL STEP AND THAT IS CURIOSITY I had a friend and we talked much about computer. One day, I tried to impress him by sending him a desktop screenshot of an alternative operating system. I asked him what did he think about it. He was unresponsive, and said that he could not make anything about it and asked if he were to compare it with anything. Several days later, he shared an AI-generated picture from ChatGPT on his social media, a trend at that time, to transform selfie into 80s style, and he complained to the chatbot that the generated face in the picture didn't look like him at all. I replied his post by telling him that ChatGPT do not allow using actual user face when generating a picture, and that different AI chatbots have different policy in processing a human photo. Again, he was unresponsive when I told him about that. Here is the thing: I realized that my friend has no interest in tech. If he was, he would be asking: "What is that alternative operating system?", "Who develops that operating system?", "How did the developers create an operating system?" And, about the AI chatbot trend, he would be replying to me: "Why do ChatGPT do not allow using actual user face when generating a picture?", "Why do different AI chatbots or LLMs have different policy in processing a human photo?" Unresponsiveness about how tech works is a red flag when someone says they are interested to work in tech, or even if they had previously said they worked in tech. Someone may have no experience in tech work, but then curiosity drives the mind: questions that linger the thought when issues appear in their PCs, such as sound issues when a laptop does not play sounds during a YouTube video playback. The user needs a capacity to think: "What cause this? Is this issue related to the web browser? Is it related to the hardware I am using? Or have I installed sound driver properly?" Everything starts with curiosity. Someone may have no knowledge in tech, no experience in working with tech, but from a small step by having curiosity in technology, serves as a gateway to look up about it online and learn something new. The person may be interested more and look up online communities that talk about tech, subscribing tech online magazines, and probably learn how to code and contribute something new. Even if they don't, being aware about tech and curious about it is enough to seek knowledge in tech.

@thejapantimes@mastodon.social The Japan Times too? FFS.

Need alt text for erotic artwork... #shitpost

@rmaster84@mastodon.social in Zorin, it is not recommended. People use Zorin because they want to use the Zorin custom built desktop of GMOME.

@knowprose@mastodon.social that is a very beautiful picture.

And I hate it when the gays around me think I delete my accounts on these platforms because they think I get online intimidation on the current anti-gay wave of doxxing and persecution. Some of them think that is the reason of why I delete my accounts on these platforms. Which is not true.

And they complain about it everyday.

I start seeing people disappearing after previously saying they were being in difficult times. They don't post anymore. Their WhatsApp became inactive. I just hope they are doing okay.

@poes@sok.egois.org itulah qaqa makanya aku dulu emang skeptis dengan bitwarden dan main aman aja pakai pass manager yang lebih umum dipakai.

With all the publicity obout AI models going rogue, I start to question if mass delusion is really an actual thing.

Hari ini menangani customer resek yang mengancam akan bunuh diri hanya karena gak ketemu paket kiriman yang dia belanja minuman kaleng yang biasa ditemui di pasar.

@poes@sok.egois.org @beny@social.petir.biz.id btw, cara Microsoft meng-address criticism yang ditujukan ke Windows selalu ngeles "makanya upgrade". Contohnya adalah vulnerability di browser Edge mengenai password yang di-store di sana bisa dicuri lewat memory leak, juga ngeles bilang "makanya upgrade dan selalu ter-update." Udah beneran jago ngeles perusahaan itu. Seringnya gak berbenah diri perbaiki apa yang rusak, demi mengejar ambisi PC dengan copilot.

@Fabirucho@mastodon.social my hair 😁

Just so you know, by merely having an account on a said platform, you are already helping to contribute it.

@nawanp@fe.disroot.org I have my own concern. Its about the moderation.

@knowprose@mastodon.social do book authors really have to run their own manuscript on AI checks to see if their writings would be marked as being AI written? Modern times we live in.

@Fabirucho@mastodon.social I find guys working in security as attractive. I enjoy doing house chores.

@tiffytiffany@mastodon.social Selamat datang di Mastodon.

@boeckli@mas.to beautiful photo that looks like an artwork 😍

@poes@sok.egois.org Tombol WASD kalau rusak di keyboard laptop, indikasi yang pakai seorang gamer.

@nawanp@fe.disroot.org can't believe social media has dramatize everything for views, clicks, and engagements.

@poes@sok.egois.org aku pakai Proton Pass.

Kebiasaan dari X/Twitter jangan dibawa ke sini.

In my own prejudice, I also see these guys as the people who voluntarily trap themselves in cages where they get humiliated everyday.

@poes@sok.egois.org @beny@social.petir.biz.id Windows bakal bilang: "makanya upgrade"

@nicd@masto.ahlcode.fi I will no longer by anything from EA. I know they don't deserve my money.

@DNMRULES@neopaquita.es you can't do this in Jakarta because (1) the air is polluted enough to make you sick, and (2) it's in tropical climate so expect a lot of mosquitoes flying into your room.

@rmaster84@mastodon.social Zorin is good. I was a former user of Zorin. It's good but I hope they can keep up with their outdated GNOME desktop.

Leaving toxic people is a form of self-respect.

It's been some time since I turned off the automated post deletion and I am wondering if I want to turn it back on.
