@cheeaun how your post is rendered on Ivory and Phanpy

Chee Aun’s post above appears on Phanpy Social with the word Cool, a link to phanpy.social/#/mastodon.social, and the preview card to Phanpy Social

@cheeaun yeah, on both apps the preview card shows Phanpy but takes me to the image feed anyway.

@cheeaun sure, I mean, shouldn’t the preview show the … preview? Technically it is rendered on Phanpy but the preview looked like it was linking to the login page. Don’t know if it’s something you can adjust or worth spending time on.

Wait…Mike Tyson is the underdog in his fight with that white boy!? OMG

Would someone loan me a bazillion dollars so I can bet on Tyson!? I’m good for it. 🤣

aulia,
@aulia@mementomori.social avatar

@KingShawn dude is almost 60, he hasn’t boxed in like 20 years, and he’s fighting a Gen Z boxer coming up on his prime. That 30 year difference warrants the underdog status, don’t you think?

aulia,
@aulia@mementomori.social avatar

@bynkii @KingShawn hmm, good point. If he still has close to the same hitting power as he used to and as you said, can get close, that’s a recipe for disaster. Unless Paul can lock Tyson like Holyfield did.

Microsoft’s investment in Indonesia for cloud computing and AI development happens to coincide with DailySocial’s pivot to AI and business consulting.

Microsoft’s AI Odyssey program aims to assist 10,000 AI developers in the country

There are 3.1 million developers from Indonesia on GitHub with a growth of 31% year on year in 2023

AI related projects in the country grew more than 2x in 2023

The wider commitment in AI skills and education programs is expected to impact 840,000 people in the country through various programs and opportunities

It also dwarves Apple’s $100 million investment in four developer academies.

So long, DailySocial. There goes Indonesia’s longest running tech industry blog. I broke a lot of stories and broke down moronic government policies with them for a few years which gave me a bit of reputation among the startup and government circles.

The new company ownership and structure will focus on the consultancy and research part of the business, shutting down the media side. This also means leaving the Djarum portfolio of companies under its GDP media group.

If you've never checked out your iPhone's "Significant Locations":

Settings →
Privacy & Security (very bottom of General group) →
Location Services →
System Services (scroll to bottom) →
Significant Locations (very bottom of first looong block)

If Significant Locations is on, check to see if the recent records makes sense for you.

@davemark I wonder why they only let us check the last three locations.

Indonesia’s customs office has been under fire this past week thanks to a few cases going viral.

First case was someone being charged 3x the value of the shoes he bought online. Customs said because there was a mistake in item value entered into the system by the sender (under invoicing) the recipient is now liable for the $1800 fine.

Second was a toy influencer receiving their self transforming Megatron toy two weeks late, damaged box, opened by customs, and being given a runaround by the customs office. He was supposed to be part of a global unboxing event last week. A special staff to the finance ministry responded on X but he got piled on due to bureaucratic speak and evasive responses. Customs also charged him based on the price for the Grimlock model which is twice as much.

Third one, prototype equipments for a special needs school given by a South Korean company has been held by customs since 2022 because the school hadn’t paid the import tax bill totaling more than $6,000. There’s no price available online because it’s a prototype so the office decided the value on their own. The school got tired of explaining and gave up in January 2023. Finance Minister made a statement on Instagram yesterday on expediting the process and dropping all fees.

All of these cases were resolved only after they went viral on X.

It’s really funny that the two major parties backing Anies Baswedan for presidency have given the clearest signals that they will support Prabowo.

The expansion of the Advance Indonesia Coalition means that the President-elect will have the backing of the majority of the next parliament, leaving the current party in opposition, PKS, and the current ruling party, PDIP, potentially in opposition together for the next five years.

This person claims there are restaurants that use bots on dating apps to trick people to “meeting” their dates at their restaurant. When the date predictably does not show up, the stood-up people are then very likely to buy a meal from the restaurant.

For years, I’ve been wondering why boxers from Southern Africa are so small.

And today, I met a Tanzanian boxer who gave me the answer. Gyms there don’t accept tall fighters. If you’re over 6’, they turn you away.

@aulia@mementomori.social avatar

@atomicpoet huh? What’s the reason, advantage of lack of height?

aulia,
@aulia@mementomori.social avatar

@atomicpoet if lack of height is that big of an advantage we’d have short boxing champions all the time 😂
