I am an Indonesian. A tech journalist and writer. Wikipedian. Sometimes posting in English.

He/him, but why don't you just use non-gendered language like Indonesian?

Google should market this as Genuine People Personality. Or maybe Gemini People Personality?

I like the Red Cliff film, but apparently Netflix only has the abridged version.

Also it took me some time to realise that Kong Ming = Zhuge Liang.

I read Indonesian version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms years ago. It uses Hokkien names. So Zhuge Liang would be Cukat Liang/Khong Beng, Cao Cao would be Co Coh and so on.

So I just noticed that the Fremen in Dune use โ€œcyrsknifeโ€ as their weapon of choice and it led me to this:

@rakyat Buddislam would be Nusantara creation, certainly ๐Ÿ™ƒ

@rakyat to elaborate:

  1. Southeast Asia is the region where Islam and Buddhism meet.
  2. Some people here (many, but especially Javanese people) have this tendency to syncretism. It's plausible that some time in the future we will create Buddislam, Zensunni, etc etc lol.

@rakyat I don't think the ministry especially cares about the Nazi problems.

Still have mixed feeling about . It enables me accessing paywalled journals/books legally. But does it discourage people to use more open access resources?

Anyway as long as the end products (wikipedia articles etc) is open and free it's still a win I guess.

The Singaporean government has joined the Malaysian government in using generated (pictorial) content in their public materials instead of shelving out the money to get original content that they need (be it photos, illustrations, etc.).

Mencoba QOwnNotes dan berpikir untuk pindah dari UpNote ๐Ÿคจ

@gombang@social.nancengka.com avatar

@nawanp saya malah belum pernah mendengar UpNote.

QOwnNotes cukup baik tapi saya lebih suka Obsidian (walaupun kalau mau sync mesti bayar wkwkwk)

@gombang@social.nancengka.com avatar

@nawanp Obsidian untungnya bisa digunakan seperlunya aja. Saya pakai karena mendukung notasi LaTeX sih (tapi ini QOwnNotes juga ada sebenarnya)

entah mengapa nilai ujian bahasa Indonesia malah lebih rendah daripada nilai ujian bahasa Inggris

like, what is wrong with me (or the questions)

atau memang ada perbedaan kesulitan materi antara dua bahasa? mungkin agak bias (soalnya aku lebih sering pakai bahasa Inggris), tapi kalau yang ujian bahasa Inggris lebih gampang

@gombang@social.nancengka.com avatar

@rmdzn @linerly alhamdulillah kalau saya bahasa Indonesia bukan yang paling rendah.

Yang paling rendah Pancasila/PPKN (atau apalah namanya sekarang ๐Ÿ™ƒ )

Iโ€™m fully committed to supporting local cafรฉs now but why Bask Bear, Richiamo and Zus tho? Canโ€™t you pick a more local-sounding names? Kenangan coffee got their ideas right

@afif bah this makes me want to pick up some kopi kenangan when I go downtown. Probably buy the 1 liter bottled coffee as well.

Does no longer allows people to open .ODT files? Have, a few times, had to safe .ODT files as .DOCX via LibreOffice so that Word users could open it.

.ODT is an open source file format, so its a deliberate choice for Word to not be compatible.

Why do people pay for a shitty product that lacks such basic functionality?

gombang,
@gombang@social.nancengka.com avatar

@ncoca @jkn @helma @fmy Microsoft Word 2019 is definitely capable of opening ODT files. I edited my invoices (which is in ODT format) some months ago with it.

I don't know about Office 365 or Office 2021 though.

@helma @jkn @fmy @ncoca I have just tried with Office365 (web version). It opens but with a compatibility warning.
