  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&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

  If you want to see real life Avatar movie, the military vs indigenous population Avatar, not the four elements one, here’s a must watch documentary that’s being actively silenced or prevented from screenings by the Indonesian military https://youtu.be/MpdrWgDRVf8 #TootSEA #Indonesia

  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.

  The MacBook Neo: A Wuling Air EV in a World of R34 Delusions At $599, the MacBook Neo is the "Fisher-Price Macintosh."

  @zygmyd@toot.cat 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.

  Indonesia to limit social media for under-16s, but it'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/

  Daughter is out on Val’s Day date and her boyfriend is driving. I’m at the dad stage where his daughter’s boyfriend starts driving her on dates. As a dad I have to fight the urge to tail them.

  Indonesia begins rollout of social media ban for under 16s today. Sites immediately affected are YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, Bigo Live, and Roblox. Others sites and services may follow. Communications and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid claims there is a digital emergency situation that necessitated this step. Not sure how enforcement will be carried out, we have no online age verification system. And only fools believe the government can keep our data safe. They’ve proven t...

  RE: https://techhub.social/@Techmeme/116152019858675542 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.

  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.

  Can someone wake me up when Apple starts properly supporting Asian languages and mixed language auto subtitling at the same level as CapCut?
