    Did you know the Japanese aren’t big fans of the start of the working week? Because every もんだい is a problem.

    How does Zelda: Breath of the Wild still feel like a modern game almost ten years later? Clocked over 340 hours playing tandem with my wife who was in it long before I got into it. She does all the explorations, strategies, and farming resources, leaving it to me to deal with fighting all the monsters and completing the divine beasts 🤣🤣

    342 hours later I have way more than enough skills, resources, and weapons to go fight Ganon but still putting it off. Not sure I wanna fight him when I’m still struggling with Lynels. Used to summon Wolflink to deal with random enemies but haven’t called on him in a while now and major tests of strength are just waiting for guardians to get electrocuted since learning how to deal with them efficiently. Guardians in general aren’t scary anymore and those spider ones, you can just cut their leg...

    Rona Kachta shrine is pretty easy to reach albeit anxiety inducing a little bit. The fun part is taking out all of the guardians one by one after you compete the shrine 🤣🤣 https://youtu.be/zxvl01qcV14 #zeldabotw

    Malaysian radio station FlyFM gifted batik to British girl group Flo and told them they’re Malaysian batik. They’re actually Indonesian ones, with distinct Megamendung and Parang patterns. Some Malaysians are upset and angry especially because it happened on Malaysia’s Independence Day. Indonesians are amused and irritated at yet another Indonesian heritage being claimed as Malaysian. Someone from the station apologized saying the shopkeeper they bought the batik from told her they’re local bat...

    Automattic is apparently repeating OpenAI 2023. So Mullenweg was fired by the Automattic board who then installed Mark Davies, the CFO, as the new CEO, but now somehow Mullenweg is back and Davies is out and nobody knows what’s gonna happen next 🤣🤣🤣🤣 No emergency podcasts for this though!

    I had a feeling Vietnam had something to do with it 🤣🤣🤣. Their scam developers were notorious for doing sneaky things when I was at Apple. We caught a few and got several groups who were doing copycat games to cut it out. https://9to5mac.com/2026/07/17/investigation-reveals-dozens-of-disguised-gambling-apps-on-the-app-store-in-brazil/

    I just learned that MAGA is pushing content about people not praising the Trump or the government for gas prices being lower now than several weeks or months ago. That exact same message was being pushed by Indonesian government “buzzers” when the IDR went up by a little bit from 17,900 to 17,700 per USD this past week. Mind you, when this administration began in October 2024 the IDR was around 15,000 per USD. There’s been so many other signs of both administrations using the same playbook si...

    You’re telling me Trump went to China with an entourage of billionaire tech CEOs and came away with pretty much nothing? Heck of a negotiator he is. Fart of the deal!

    Singapore is becoming too expensive to do business. After H&amp;amp;M moved its regional office to Malaysia, Singapore’s biggest bread maker moves production to Malaysia but keeps other functions in the country for now. Yeo’s and Tiger Beer are also moving production to Malaysia https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/gardenia-shift-singapore-malaysia-retrenchment-6131521 #TootSEA #Singapore

    Copyright law was designed to solve an economic problem reasonably well. What it was never designed to do is protect the dignity of a character, the integrity of a creative vision, or the relationship between a work and the audience that grew up loving it. http://aulia.me/2026/04/20/the-american-standard-for-copyright-protects-commercial-interests-not-creative-integrity/

    Just like how Magic made its way to Indonesia through coffee drinkers, Tiger Bomb and Mont Blanc coffee made their ways to the archipelago in a similar fashion, without recipe leaks or breach of confidentiality. People just reverse engineered the coffee and figured it out themselves. Under Indonesian law, duplication through discovery makes it next to impossible to seek for damages or redress because there doesn’t appear to have been any violation of trade secret. https://www.abc.net.au/news...

    I lost my dad in August last year from prolonged impact of three strokes in seven years and deteriorating health. For a long time mom was his primary carer and I think her body is exhausted after years of extra work. In the last few weeks she had started to slow down and we had her see a doctor who suspected it might be GERD or a heart problem. The doc said to check into ER if it happens again within a week. That was two days ago. Last night we had to get mom to ER after more chest pains and...

    Why resort to brevity when an elaborate and multifaceted lexical construction can more profoundly encapsulate the intricate nuances of our thoughts?

    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

    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...

    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

    @ncoca@social.coop 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.

    Indonesia to limit social media for under-16s, but it&#39;s solving the wrong problem Moral panic rushes the implementation of a flawed restrictive approach that changes nothing in protecting children from online harm. http://aulia.me/2026/03/07/indonesia-to-limit-social-media-for-under-16s-but-its-solving-the-wrong-problem/
