A Changing World

Debian now changing its Debian Social Contract. It includes non-free firmware starting with Debian 12 installer. The compromise is taken because modern hardware including WiFi devices are using binary blob inside their driver to enable the hardware. General Resolution: non-free firmware (debian.org) I have a lot to say for this, but this is part of the changing world. Nowadays people chasing pragmatism rather than idealism. No matter what my thought about this, they are the one that know what's best for them. Such as sad stare game and the idealists are now blinking.

Nostalgia

This is because our brain selective memory. This drug created by our brain to remedy stress so that our emotion can handle the suffering. Life is suffering. Sometimes we think of why not God gives us iOS instead of E16 desktop . Too many choices with many consequences. We don't know how to run. Life is altering. My friend often said that people who stay at their job are often people who don't think themselves highly. They eat of what their boss spit on them. They don't innovate, just work to have money on the table. Making big decision is scary. That big jump takes a lot of faith. It is intangible. But... Who knows about your company tomorrow? Who knows the fuel and the economy tomorrow? Yes...

Illogical

The sound choice when you are in the midst of a pandemic is you barricade yourself. You don't know how the person around you behave. Nor you don't want an irresponsible person germinate your surroundings. Just like an episode in Left 4 Dead video game. Only take a person bitten to turn the whole community. That person who thinks covid-19 is okay. However

An Ode to

We are now going to start a new era. After two years of isolation against COVID-19 pandemic, we are now allowed to go outside. The vaccine shots effectively take the pandemic away.  However, this pandemic leaves scars to the whole world.  Many people struggling with their economy. Trying to have their fill. Businesses fall.  Many people have shortages on things because of the disruption in the supply chain.  For me, my grief is to lose people dear to me and I wasn't there sending them off. My brother in-law, my uncles and aunties. They were gone and I haven't been there in the funeral.  I also could not be there when my cousins were getting married. I was too scared to go outside before the second shot.  I wonder if my extended families think I have changed. I wonder if they think I am now an arrogant selfish person.  If I were alone, I would be dare to be everywhere. But, I have a wife. I have children that were  outside of vaccinated age. I can'...

Happy

What is happiness?  A feeling of content.  Can be found on having and not having.  On smile or on pressured.  A state of mind of being grateful. 

Glory

I also thought to myself, “It is   for the sake of people,   so God can clearly   show   them that they are like animals.  For the fate of humans   and the fate of animals are the same: As one dies, so dies the other; both have the same breath. There is no advantage for humans over animals, for both are fleeting. Both go to the same place, both come from the dust, and to dust both return. -- Ecclesiastes 3:18-20 We know Hammurabi as a king who formulated ancient codex of law. However, did we found out those whom helping him, inspire him?  We know Alexander The Great conquered the land. Did it ever found out who put the sword into the heart of the enemy's general? Who was the one that landed first time on enemy's fort safely? Nobody knows. Even the kings can only be figures vaguely remembered by their history and myth, not one is their true. A child is a jewel to the parents. Blessed with love, growing up well. Once becomes married, Mom and Dad is now p...

Bus Mania

https://www.facebook.com/groups/457620199352897/permalink/468882948226622/ There is a trend in Indonesia where people love to follow and take video of bus traveling. Those people often get called as maniac by other people. The reason is because their dangerous behavior driving motorcycle without honoring the law.  They will spot a bus and will take convoy to video the bus. The dangerous thing is they often drive on the blind spot. Also, they can take all the road making all other vehicles can't get through them.  There is also a trend in Indonesia that loves to listen buses and trucks horn. They will wait on the side of the road where buses or trucks usually passing through. They will call out to any bus/truck, "Om! telolet, Om!"  which translate to, "Mister! Honk your horn, Mister." Strange addiction.
