A House in A Sand

Some people said to me: "Why do you so persistent with your open source thing? Are you an open source zealot? Are you anti-establishment?"

It's not just about legality. It's not just about my ability to get a legal copy of prop. softwares. It's about the future!

How many people bloated with wrong picture of the great ideality of making money. Some feels confident about their original operating system. Some people feels doesn't need to move to open softwares just because many company use prop. s/w.

Define stability, sustainability, and wealth! You'll find out that we just playing as a slave.

An original you said? U have original Windows XP(tm) but how about Office XP(tm) Adobe(r) CS 2(tm)? Stripped from their originals!

WinXP only costs 500.000 rupiah, but the later costs more than a million! Evenmore, many prop. s/w running with the cost more than a buck.

So, what do you expect running from that? Have a sin and get over with it?

This kind of mentality will lead us only into slavery. NEVER WILL US GET OVER IT.

Are you satisfied with this kind of life? Well, if you notice, our country is degrading into deeper troubles. So, it's a matter of time until this country collapse and we loose everything.

Open source softwares is not what I want. But, it is a tool to climb the deep hole we're in.

    hehehe, btw you do realize that open source is not free. I could make an open source system but charge it for distribution.

    So, GNU GPL is probably what u had in mind

    Of course! What would you expect from free softwares? We are a developer, we need money also...:)

    But, what I think is either Free or Open Source projects, can bring people to a way of thinking where creativity leads into invention. That's the point that I want to say. It's time for us to become also a producer, not just plain M$ consumers.

    I agree about the idea charge the open source with money (Trolltech does that). But, many developer, like Canonical, are considering free softwares (but not free services)?

    GNU's GPL can be used if the later are your consideration. But, please don't use Glodok's GPL. ;P

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

Installing Goodix Fingerprint Reader Driver on Fedora

I currently have a Lenovo Thinkpad L14 laptop equipped with fingerprint. I was `belok` from KDE Neon to use Fedora 40 because of someone. Now I am tempted to enable my fingerprint: lsusb | grep -i fingerprint Bus 001 Device 004: ID 27c6:55b4 Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint Reader Dump the firmware Assuming this is a fresh install, lets do some magic by getting some dependencies: sudo dnf install gcc git python-pip python-devel openssl Let's get the source code: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/goodix-fp-linux-dev/goodix-fp-dump.git cd goodix-fp-dump Create an isolated Python environment: python -m venv .v source .v/bin/activate Do the magic: sudo su pip install -r requirements.txt python run_55b4.py exit There are some python scripts available. I run run_55b4.py because my device ID is 27c6: 55b4 . It will spell some nonsense, which is a good thing. That nonsense actually the firmware captured by our device. Also, I typed exit becaus...

Vibe Coding Workflow

I am currently working for having A.I. workflow for generating projects. There are two things that need to be tackled for that: 1) hallucinations; and 2) old codes. I have met several patterns to tackle those two and just need to formulate the patterns into a general flow. Thankfully, a video of building fullstack app using A.I. from Raf Dev channel inspired me to make the formulation. He used multiple A.I. engines to his need: He used Google Gemini to onboard his ideas and summarized it. He forked a boilerplate of NextJS project into a new project. Then, he added the summary from Google Gemini into a file for context. He used QWEN Code, a QWEN3 code engine that is a fork from Gemini CLI, to build the project. When working with an existing project, A.I. will take the whole project as a context. It also means that it will stick with the version used by the libraries. It also will try to update its knowledge based on the common pattern in the project. Most of the time, it will use the c...
