I just want to be able to access everything on my phone on my laptop as well. Line is the single app that's causing me issues with this.

2026-06-11 06:08:24 CEST

#Line informed last November that its #Chrome app would stop working in February. It's now June and I'm using it - the only way to access Line on #Linux. It's probably a massive security risk. Any ideas how else to use Line on Linux?

Ever wonder why wearing masks is so common in #Japan every spring? A post-WWII reforestation policy to plant just two types of fast-growing trees has triggered a mass-allergy crisis. My latest for @bbc looks at the roots of this 70-year-old blunder and the massive challenge of fixing it. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260515-the-1950s-blunder-which-causes-mass-hay-fever-in-japan

No mention of #China so far. It's remarkable that this can be possible. Complain about Palestinian voices being suppressed with doing the same thing to #Uyghurs and #Tibetans...

Judging from the panel, and the organizers, I doubt it...but thinking to join just to ask about it.

def get it. Never spent much time there and, now being based elsewhere, it doesn't seem worth the effort to build a network there. Wish Japan wasn't co centralized

I've tested and confirmed - it's cheaper & more fun to visit #Taipei or #Seoul from #Kansai than #Tokyo. Helps that I know more people in both cities too, and both have much more vibrant international journalism & NGO communities.
Kinda don't see the point in going to Tokyo anymore. If I want to travel in Japan, lots of other places I'd rather go.

The amount of times someone said "#google #maps works great in #Japan" and then I learn it took them on some weird route that was longer, more expensive, or required excessive walking then the optimal route.

Of course, #Indonesia and #China have only re-established diplomatic relations 36 years ago. I guess they'll just ignore that 23 year gap?

Really shocking. Comes a few days after #Zambia signed a cooperation agreement with #China and some are wondering if PRC pressure led to this happening.
It was a big effort to bring this conference (which was in #Taiwan last year) to #Africa, and I feel for organizers who had to cancel at the last minute.

1 of 2 ended up flaking as expected - without even telling my by email.
But the ones who didn't were with a disabled persons NGO and were absolutely lovely people. I felt like they might be more tech savvy due to needing to rely on technology much more due to their communities needs.

Have two interviews scheduled with people in the #Philippines today. For both, I sent #Jitsi links.
I have a strong feeling that one, or both, will either have no-shows or last minute emails about how they can't use #Jitsi or requests for my non-existent #whatsapp.

One website I use to receive payments recently shifted to a terrible #AI tool for customer service.
I asked it to process a payout. It failed, so I asked customer service to do it. After a few days, they did, and I withdrew the amount.
4 days later, the AI processed my payout...20 times. So now I have 20X the original amount, which I've already been paid form, in my "wallet."
As it's not my fault, I decided to just leave it there and wait until they figure it out.
2 weeks later, and it's still there.

Talked to a friend I've not spoken to in a while, and it seems he's been sucked into the #China disinformation sphere and fully sees it as the world's only hope.
While I get it somewhat - the search for a "savoir" when everyone else - #Europe #US #India, etc, seems to be going to shit - I honestly don't have the willpower to deal with this anymore. The final straw may have been when he glowed about an leftist author who has been pushing #Uyghur #genocide denial messaging.

Geez, this #Philippines #labor union really only has a #Facebook page and a #Whatsapp account, no website, no email, nothing else. That's it.

Has no one noticed that clear parallels that #Hungary's election has with #Malaysia's #2018 one?
- Public outcry after massive corruption scandal.
- Overcoming blatant gerrymandering.
- Opposition led by former leader of ruling party (Mahathir & Anwar/Magyar)
- Euphoric public.
With a supermajority in Parliament, we won't see a backdoor agreement bring Fidesz back to power, but will be curious to see how Tisza rules. I worry Magyar will be like Mahathir in other ways - over-controlling and compromising.

Most of the #Indians who applied for my #journalism job neglected to put any language skills on their resume.
Something that others mostly don't do - including other South Asians.
Why is this? Is it a tacit way of saying that they are really only able to work in English?

Posted my #job listing a week ago.
- Within 24 hours, got 50+ applications, more than >50% from just one country, along with more than 80 LinkedIn friend requests, unsolicited messages.
- The next few day, got a bunch of AI-written cover letters, including several with the same exact line.
The last three days - zero applications from that country, zero AI applications.

I was feeling iffy on my #creditunion after they did the bait and switch with a "high-interest" savings account (rapidly dropped the interest rate after a few months). Also found the non-stop life insurance promo letters annoying.
But them charging me a $50 fee for not closing a CD account within a tiny window, and refusing to waive the fee despite me being just a few days late, was the last straw.
Strangely, they don't seem to mind me leaving (to another credit union, of course).

2026-04-09 12:34:04 CEST

Over 100 applications for my part-time #journalist assistant job. I'm amazed how many people will apply using acronyms that only people from that country would know.
I know what it means that someone is "fluent in BM" but have no what "graduated from GW" "technical AEO" "studied at SPPU" or "wrote stories on ATP/WTA" means.

2026-04-09 04:09:35 CEST

One of my favorite things about #Japan is that they rarely, almost never, add unnecessary raw #onions to things like salads or sandwiches.

2026-04-08 02:18:39 CEST

I think the next time I post a #job, I'll add a note saying - "all applications that arrive in the next 48 hours will be immediately deleted."
That should get rid of most of the #AI #AIslop.

well, it does make it easy to filter out, it not a good format all all for a journalism-focused position. Also noticed that several have the exact same line in it, too...

#Hiring for a #journalism assistant and got way too many applications. Too many cover letters have the same exact format, with bullet points summaries in the middle.

I'm #hiring again and I really do wish people would look me up more before they applied. I'm not going to be impressed with your #google workplace skills, or your use of #canva, or any #socialmedia app.
If one, just one applicant, mentioned their open source or #selfhosting skills, that would be a ticket to an immediate interview.

Watched a #Chinese film about an Ivorian living in #Guangzhou, and, as it had an African director, might show an interesting perspective about a migrant community not often visible in the media.
It was...disappointing. When the main character interacts with Chinese, they're absurdly nice. Her life in #China is easy - lovely apartment in a quiet neighborhood, a good job, lots of friends.
But it was, when about halfway through, when she pushes back on another African complaining about a really minor incident (getting annoyed at a Chinese man panhandling at a black hair salon) with a "we're in their country, we need to be quiet and integrate," I stopped watching.

It's really a big misconception how widely English is spoke in India. In certain parts of certain cities, yes. But 80% of the population is in the countryside and won't find much English spoken there.
Even if 10% speaks English, that's 100 million + so a lot, but still just a minority.

It must be - on that platform, there are something like 15 comments about this initiative and none that mention - hey, shouldn't it be available in the language spoken by 85% of the residents of this city?
The worrying thing is that the RSS and those on the right are most definitely communicating in local languages.

2026-03-07 12:23:55 CET

Found this cool-sounding initiative to make a major #Indian city more #representative, #safer, #livable, etc, through a public engagement platform.
But the manifesto, platform, social media, etc, are all just in one language - #English.
So...who does this really represent?

What makes it more sad or disappointing is that most of my clients are non-profits/NGOs.

2026-02-20 03:15:19 CET

One of the biggest reasons now that I think I may stay as a freelancer and not job hunt is that I don't want to be forced to use some "productivity" suite like #google #docs or #microsoft #office365 or #teams everyday.
Having to use one of those now for a short-term project with a client and its so annoying and very, very unproductive.
Also wonder - how come I can setup flexible, self-hosted secure systems for my own data, but a org with 30+ staff and multiple ops people can't?

Some Australians sometimes do this strange thing where they say a call is at XX o'clock "Australia" time.
But Australia has multiple time zones...

Having the same problem myself - can't login and Socialcoop.meet.coop doesn't work.

My favorite #udon place in #Saitama has, apparently, closed and become just another #ramen place.
I feel like this is an metaphor for something...

wonderful, thank you! Doesn't seem like I can login, and socialcoop.meet.coop doesn't seem to work.

I've always felt this was, at least, partly true. Can be extrapolated to also be a reason why #China dominated cleantech too - something that most #climate & #environment groups don't want to acknowledge.

This trip, got to try #Manado food a few times and, it's officially up there with #Sunda & #Padang as my favorite regional #Indonesia cuisines.
Need to go visit and try it in North #Sulawesi and see if its as #spicy as claimed.

#socialcoop So our Meet.Coop instance has been down for 3+ weeks, and from what I see on https://forum.meet.coop/t/meet-coop-update-october-2025/1739/47, it's not clear when it will work, if ever.
Wondering what this means for our collective membership there?

Wonder why this #Indonesia #fire, which I only just read about, didn't get nearly as much attention as the one that happened in #Switzerland a week later.

thank you, good to know! Used the Jitsi server for another call and it worked well, but like having my own room.

I ordered a vegetable curry - which the day before, I had confirmed had no meat.
But today's staff decided to do me a favor and add chicken to it. Yay. Thanks...
