God Wills It!

Nice thing about getting sick is I can watched the television. I can see how our TV stations is invaded with South Korean. My knowledge is suddenly overwhelmed with this so called K-Pop culture.

The news filled with story about obscure Pesantren and Indonesian Democrat Party scandals. I don't really care about the Democrats, SBY has failed me since he choose unfavor person for an important position as Minister of IT. The man has no vision and only making us IT workers looked bad.

If SBY has surrendered such position to that awful person, then I believe he has no vision or whatsoever to this nation. Thus, I have reject him and resented my choice when I decided to select him and Budiono. I thought he would be credible and with majority as his backing, he would done things gallantly.

The most retrospective news is about Indonesian parliament wants to push RUU Hak Cipta. It was yesterday at MetroTV's 8-11 show. I didn't know who was the spokeperson, but the person was called Professor. So, I guess he had a background from education. And the other person which unsignificant int the dialog is Rere (cmiiw).

From the talk, seems he wanted to model the new law with America and Australia. OMG! He wants to bring the DMCA monster to this country. Gosh! how stupid of our law makers want to copy the harmful law that dissenting people from their rights?

I mean, so we are pro DRM or something? What is the right for us, the consumer? When I bought an original CD? Didn't I buy the right to use the content? I bought the CD and the right to use the content what ever I wanted for personal use, didn't I? If this pro DRM law would grow into our motherland, then there are chances that our country could be restrained like those in US, worse than them.

Well, worse because they have their First Amendment and Fair Use law to protect them from unnecessary judgement. What we, the consumer of Indonesia have to be protected from abuse? The trial of Bu Prita also proves that! The imbecile that only concerns about porn and handshake may not have the idea why people long ago protested the law.

Such abusive law....

I don't know how far they are willing to do about our economy. But, didn't they also said that Creative Industry is one of the emerging market in Indonesia? If they wanted to protect that industry, don't they should learn from the countries where such beast are nurtured?

Then, why not based our copyright law to Japan or South Korea? Don't forget, we also need to consider the law also protect us from abusive use of law which called Patent Trolls....

Sadly enough, my rant here is about the country mass law that outdated, outplaced, and out of control. Innocent people could be drawn into countless outlaw. Thus, this countrymen choose to disregard the law.

Is that a country that you wanted, corporates?

I don't.

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...

Chivalry vs Feminism

Throughout these years I constantly making experiment about how our society perceive about the societal changes. The overhaul of sexist strata and the privilege reformations follow. Note that every change could be perceived as progress or detrimental to the society. The foremost subject that I run is about the opposite of manliness perceived by the oldies vs modern women. The modern era allow women go out from the kitchen into the office. They can have career and enjoy the privilege that men were exclusively had in years. And, can men also do the reverse? Can men also enjoy the privilege of what women do in the past? Can men move from office into the kitchen? And the answer on this era is: NO. While women could reverse their role, men are not allowed to do the same in this society. Society will punish you when a man tries to do that. They will put a healthy man who chose to be at home dad as an irresponsible not-a-man person. If a woman's worth could be rewritten, why not...
