Last Notes npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Fell asleep not long after dinner and now I’m wide awake, almost midnight. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…fj25 never had a problem. Eject button is on the top level menu and contextual menu. For keyboard power users, it’s always been CMD+E. If it’s stuck, force quit the Finder. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Why resort to brevity when an elaborate and multifaceted lexical construction can more profoundly encapsulate the intricate nuances of our thoughts? npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna I had to check the date when I read about Allbirds pivoting from shoes to AI compute. Then again it’s been a while since anyone bought their shoes. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…yv7z a Windows PC npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Typical Indonesia erasure in western media except for political upheaval stories. The country implemented social media restrictions for under 16s in March, including Roblox and TikTok https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/08/teen-social-media-ban-countries-tech-experts-warning.html npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Who will be the Jamie Lannister that we need right now? npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna If someone takes out that corrupt shitstain of a crackpot I swear the entire world will throw the biggest party ever. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…pm4f you don’t notice it until it’s everywhere. On the other hand, templates have done this for ages, too, so it’s just the same thing done differently, IMO, and the people who don’t bother checking or making sure they still have their own touch probably have other things they worry about, to put it mildly. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Ha! And now Steam took down IGRS after the weekend backlash. Curious to see the flurry of comms between Komdigi and Steam. The fact that a Komdigi official openly blamed Steam on X for implementing “fake” ratings while they’re just following guidelines shows how unprofessional the Ministry are. Apparently they’re looking at legal options, supposedly checking if Steam is violating Indonesian laws but really it’s to save face since they exposed the Ministry as being wholly incompetent. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Urusan game rating Indo ini mungkin bakal cepet diberesin tapi hebohnya udah ke mana-mana soalnya selain Komdigi yang emang ga pernah becus kerjaannya dari jaman Kominfo, bahkan sampe jaman Kementerian Penerangan, video games are one of the last few things Indonesians rely on to escape reality, not to mention the government never spending the effort to really understand and support the industry, instead of bullying it as yet another tax subject. And now it looks like they’re making it worse. If this was a decade ago or more I would have rallied and posted an incendiary take about the situation the way I did when the government demanded RIM to give them backdoor access to BlackBerry. These days I barely have the energy. There’s just way too many battles to fight, and I’m fucking tired. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna The President initially wanted a Chinese style oppressive, restrictive internet regime for all, to suppress any dissent but was told it was impossible and he begrudgingly accepted this restriction after blowing up in a private meeting https://apnews.com/article/indonesia-social-media-children-under-16-761b3ae00231ea0b176f93813c0a35eb npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…nrlp and it still has plenty of forest and nature space, probably about a quarter of the island. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…addr 🤣🤣🤣🤣 npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…fj25 piye? 😂😂😂 kok iso? npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna I kinda miss the MacOS 9 aesthetics npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…kkfs don’t or do not? There isn’t no try. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna The MacBook Neo: A Wuling Air EV in a World of R34 Delusions At $599, the MacBook Neo is the "Fisher-Price Macintosh." It’s a heat-seeking missile aimed directly at the bloated, plastic-laden mid-range Windows market. http://aulia.me/2026/03/09/the-macbook-neo-a-wuling-air-ev-in-a-world-of-r34-delusions/ npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…prvv LMAO, that’s okay. My wife told her afterwards that I had the urge to follow her and she was like, “why would do wanna do that????” 🤣🤣🤣 I said, “it’s a dad thing!” My wife laughed. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna If the US military’s reliance on Claude wasn’t this extensive they wouldn’t have taken such desperate measures to press the company for all encompassing usage. Now that Hegseth put Anthropic on a restricted list, they’re in for a major legal battle about how far the government can compel a tech company to bow to its wishes. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…6p0k yeah, what? Shockwave had nothing to do with GIFs. Whoever wrote that had no clue about the lingo npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Indonesia’s Communications and Digital Ministry opened a job vacancy and invited the public to apply by dropping their resumes and other required documents into a publicly accessible Google Drive. Turns out you can access and download all of the documents submitted by everyone who applied. Someone pointed it out in an Instagram video which went viral and soon after he’s had multiple and sustained phishing and hacking attempts of his social media and email accounts. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Who genuinely thought Anthropic was going to sit around letting Clawdbot steal the spotlight with the confusing name? Of course they would force the developer to change it. If it was never called that there wouldn’t have been an issue. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…lyp8 we have been since 2000 🤣🤣🤣 npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…lyp8 yep.

Modern bank or other fund transfers take seconds to hours, SWIFT transfers take days. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…fdcj dang. Sounds like they either counted all those signal detection features as AI or changed how they worked underneath to use AI. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…fr89 🤣🤣🤣🤣 npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna When you’re on the #forkiverse do you get to enjoy the #fetaverse? npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Hah! The Adelaide Writers’ Week got canceled but the remaining board members who did not resign still tried to defend their decision for disinviting Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah for being Palestinian. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…zcww oooooh, I forgot there’s a 13 inch model. I thought you had the 14 or 16 inch. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Do GenZ and Gen A understand how frustrating untangling these wired EarPods get when you pull them out of your pocket? Trust me when I say you'll lose the case before you know it, or at least forget to bring it. https://media.mementomori.social/media_attachments/files/115/885/682/279/856/178/original/30c0b21cbc3fd0af.jpeg npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…zcww they’re on both sides, all three USB C ports are T4 ports. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Feels to me that Apple’s decision to go with Gemini is to continue where they left off with the default search engine preference setting in Safari after having to abandon it at least in Europe. The court decision last year specifically opened the door for this, so in hindsight this makes complete sense from a business perspective. I much prefer if they had partnered with Claude but given the speed of development and where things are as well as might be in the next few years, I’m not about to fret much. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna “We overestimate artificial intelligence and underestimate human laziness“ by Aliyyah Maryam Andrias on Medium: https://liliandrias.medium.com/we-overestimate-artificial-intelligence-and-underestimate-human-laziness-ff18a69ef678 npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Someone apparently managed to replicate the Coca Cola formula down to the chemical level and because the company didn’t want to reveal the formula, it’s apparently not patented, merely kept secret https://youtu.be/TDkH3EbWTYc npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna With the way the writer boycotts all across Australia is going, Adelaide Writer’s Week might as well cancel itself for disinviting Palestinian Australian writer Randa Abdel Fattah. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…30ev 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna I hope what happened in Minneapolis becomes a trigger for something bigger that will eventually topple the regime before you know it. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna The Indonesian discourse over dogs is really disgusting and despicable. They’re willing to haramize an entire species just because the saliva is haram. They’re willing to ignore hadiths and surahs saying dogs are friends and guardians, and tales about heavenly rewards for feeding starving dogs, all just because they can’t be fucked to use water and soap. The Quran actually advised Muslims to consume meat from an animal caught by dogs because it’s meant for consumption. And yet people have gone out of their way to pretend the verse didn’t mention dogs when it specifically does. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…sfdf @nprofile…s6ee 🤣🤣🤣🤣 npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…yp3v wouldn’t it be different if the person just shows up out of nowhere without being introduced to the dogs? And when their human isn’t around, to boot? npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Indonesian influencers are being intimidated and threatened at their homes for speaking up against government incompetence and military abuses. If anyone ever wondered how Soeharto’s regime would operate in today’s world, we’re living in it, thanks to the 58% who voted for the chubby General. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna In the movie The Holiday Iris and Amanda swapped houses but Iris has a dog and he wasn’t confused or upset that another person, a complete stranger, suddenly appearing at the house and staying there while Iris is not around? Wouldn’t the dog be territorial or at least be alarmed? npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Jakarta’s MRT, despite its shortcomings, does seem world class and very well maintained, but it currently is only a single line and only about six years old. New lines are planned and being worked on but probably won’t see a proper network for several more decades with the next couple of lines taking 5-10 years to complete. Curious to see what the city will look like in 2050. I’d be really old by then, though, if I’m still around to begin with. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…fgzg when I read how Jakarta is among the top cities with wide ranging and accessible public transport I found it hard to believe but friends in KL say their system and pedestrian and disabled access have a lot to be desired compared to Jakarta. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…su4n 🤣🤣🤣🤣 npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Porn actress Bonnie Blue arrested in Bali along with several other people and likely to be deported and banned from reentering after police discovered she was shooting porn at a villa was not on my bingo card for 2025. Shooting porn in Bali is nothing surprising but she’s probably the fist one to do it there so openly, posting a blue pick up truck painted bangbus and picking up young Aussies on schoolies (summer break). Obviously people tagged immigration and local politician Niluh Djelantik, who’s been actively chasing off misbehaving foreigners, which is likely how Bonnie got arrested. https://media.mementomori.social/media_attachments/files/115/675/543/075/253/729/original/9fa9c34b2c74c2a1.png npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Stupid governments launch moronic mandates, get shot down.

Everything’s been flattened. Art, noise, whatever, anything, into scrollable mush. It’s not expression anymore, it’s inventory. Creation now serves the algorithm, not the other way around. Everything’s a post, nothing’s a point.

Clips for the social content, iMovie for the more savvy consumers, and FCP for the pros. Unfortunately Apple never saw an appetite to market this app properly and they ignored the shift towards vertical videos — they still don’t support it in iMovie. Meanwhile developers race to creating the perfect social video editing app and they’re still going at it with apps like VN, CapCut, Edits, Quik (I miss the pre GoPro version), Mojo, even Canva. Apple’s stance have always been that they will enter a market if they see an opportunity to offer something distinct, valuable, or different enough to be a leader in the space. I guess that saw it and then had second thoughts.

Technology isn’t going to help create more compelling stories or storytelling but Indonesian movies have been gaining the upper hand domestically over Hollywood films and in some cases reaching international recognition. They just need the right nudge in the right direction. #TootSEA #Indonesia https://restofworld.org/2025/indonesia-ai-movies/ npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna If Vivo, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Nothing are adopting Liquid Glass for their interfaces, I think it speaks to the failure of Google’s design language, losing out to Apple’s interface style even when it’s widely panned across Apple’s own circles https://www.digitaltrends.com/phones/android-phone-maker-races-to-mimic-apples-controversial-liquid-glass-design/?utm_source=threads&utm_medium=socialorg&utm_campaign=rss-feed npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…nnjv most laptops don’t need more than 60W chargers npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…nnjv nevermind cat videos, check this out https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPmJHcBEXwJ/ npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna @nprofile…48vs yeah, you have a point there. Probably better to have people start questioning the authenticity early rather than accept wholesale that realistic videos look real and having to educate them later. I bet you, though, we’ll have a floating watermark removal tool within days and those videos will get posted outside of Sora. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Nevermind years into the future, it’s hard to tell real footage from AI generated ones today especially with the Sora watermark generator. People already accuse works of real artists and recordings as AI generation. I saw someone place the Sora watermark on the WWDC 2024 Craig Federighi parkour video. If you didn’t know Apple does wild stunts like that with actual stunt doubles for WWDC videos you’d insist it’s actually AI. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/10/dj-bruce-lee-and-jackass-mr-rogers-dead-celebrities-become-puppets-in-sora-2-videos/ npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna Ran out of the white, not keen on orange, settled on boring blue.

Kalau udah ga exciting lagi, iya, banyak yang stagnan dan strateginya ga ada yang groundbreaking di mata konsumen pada umumnya. Design external iPhone sekarang udah enam edisi ngga berubah (tujuh kalau hitung 11), terakhir ganti itu setelah empat rilis pake design yang sama (6-8), makanya sekarang pada bosen. npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna I really don’t understand why there’s such a controversy in Malaysia over the use of the word ketimbang, meaning compared to. This word is of Javanese origin that most Indonesians don’t use that often because we more likely use daripada, which is the same in Malaysia. If you didn’t grow up in a Javanese environment you won’t be inclined to use it, but apparently it’s caught on in Malaysia to the point that their parliament made an issue about it. https://youtu.be/C_DzgiN9YTs?si=hS11-ywcsTL4S_Wv #TootSEA #SEAblings npub16gzqjhjlwmt6e6x2xjwvqz9nvctycemxfpk6jtg0eru5qmc5j50s5fkqs9 Aulia Masna This woman has become the icon of Indonesian resistance.

Funny thing is pickleball is far more popular in SEA, so Jakarta is like this weird padel zone. There are 18 padel places not far from where I live already, all within 40 minute drive. All closer to home than my kid’s school. I’ve not seen one called Dev Padel, yet.
