“Setiap kali kerja pembaikan dilakukan, lampu hanya bertahan beberapa hari sebelum kembali padam. Pemeriksaan mendapati panel kawalan dibongkar dan kabel tembaga dicuri.

“Kami percaya perbuatan ini dilakukan individu mahir yang memahami sistem kawalan lampu dan disyaki berasal dari kawasan setinggan tertentu,”

There are two kinds of people that I found.

The first kind is the people who rebel against God.

That first kind also has two types.

The first type disagrees and rebels against God; they will tell others that they do not agree with God. The other type claims they are being kind and peaceful and do follow God's words, while they are acting rebelliously toward God.

The second kind of person I found is people who actually worship and submit to God. If they push their limits, including doing what God forbids or something sinful, they repent to God.

Which kind of partner do you choose to be with? I choose the second one. You?

Days, weeks, or months ago (if that's correct), I subscribed to a managed hosting service.

One of the apps is Lemmy, which I use more frequently than other apps like micro-blog.

Firstly, I paid less than the monthly price because it was days to weeks before the first fixed due date: June 1st.

Then, I was saving my money and doing some business by helping my mother sell and market her gardening materials.

A few days before the first due date, I had more than enough to cover the upcoming major managed hosting service fees.

In Lemmy, it's easier for me to assess whether my opinions or knowledge are compatible or agreeable with the public, partly because of the upvotes, downvotes, scores, and upvote percentage features.

I also experienced in Lemmy that there are many differing opinions; some genuinely support me, while others using Lemmy made me think they need to improve their online attitude and behavior.

I also have the idea or suggestion that Lemmy developers should make a built-in poll feature available, where the poll could include options such as: only local Lemmy instance users can vote (for example, for instance rule changes and policies), and another option allowing users from Lemmy software, whether local or fediverse, to vote.

My Fediverse lifelong journey is still my choice. I find that those very popular social networks aren't relevant for me, such as Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, and X. They are not relevant for me.

It's because they're closed source; I can't view or audit them fully. I have to trust their reputation and terms of service alone.

Paying for managed hosting is awesome because these Fediverse or ActivityPub protocol software and even the client apps are usually free, libre, and open source (FLOSS). At least this gives me a chance to own or rent them as I see fit, instead of blindly following big tech.

Thank you for reading my long essay. Yes, I used AI to correct my grammar.

• Pokémon pic:

My past relationships taught me: do not be in love. Do not marry. Do not get a girlfriend. Do not have a wife. Do not propose to anyone. Do not reciprocate love as a romantic partner. Don't marry. Forget about it. Correct me if venting about my past life is too much or is somewhat counterproductive to healing.

Hey! I was out driving to the closest shopping area filled with all sorts of shops and restaurants. I tried some delicious chicken fried rice and a refreshing iced coffee, which was really yummy. Later on, I’ll be helping my mum with our family business selling gardening supplies. How about you? How was your day? Can you believe it’s already Friday? Time’s flying by!

Summary

• I Updated My Server Rules — To Protect and Include Everyone

• Hello friends,

• I’ve just updated the community rules for Kadai Kupi Space — the Lemmy instance I host from Sabah, Malaysia.

• These updates are made with love and care, to make this space more inclusive, safe, and respectful — especially for people who use AI tools to help with writing, communication, or learning.

• Why the Update?

• Some people use AI to:

  • Help write or fix grammar (especially if English isn’t their first language)
  • Express thoughts clearly (like neurodivergent people)
  • Translate between languages
  • Be more polite or confident in their writing

• I believe these tools can help us join more conversations — not block them.

• So, I updated our rules to protect people who use AI responsibly. No one should be banned or downvoted just because they used an AI to help. That’s unfair, especially if the content is kind, respectful, and useful.

• What’s New in the Rules?

• Clear support for AI as an accessibility tool, not just a “tech thing”

• Rules against harassing or mocking people for using AI

• We now hold people accountable if they abuse their moderation powers to remove AI-generated content without a real reason

• You can still use AI — as long as it’s honest, respectful, and not used to mislead or harm others

• We All Deserve a Voice

• This update is for people who:

  • Are autistic, disabled, or neurodivergent
  • Are learning English or another language
  • Want to be more thoughtful with their words
  • Use AI tools to participate more fully online

• If AI helps you communicate better — you are welcome here.

• If you don’t use AI, that’s okay too — just respect those who do.

• Thank you for being part of this small space.

• Let’s keep it kind, weird, warm — and safe for everyone.

• – Kalvin / @kaeurenne

• Admin of Kadai Kupi Space

For mobile phone client applications for Lemmy, I generally prefer using Boost for Lemmy and Summit for Lemmy.

The Boost app is proprietary, as it offers an ad-free version available for a small fee. The Boost Lemmy client app features a Material You color theme that aligns closely with Material Design guidelines. Additionally, I find the rocket icon particularly appealing.

I particularly appreciate the Summit app because it makes it convenient to capture screenshots or photos of posts directly within the app, without needing to rely on the phone's built-in screenshot functionality.

Summary

• Greta Van Fleet’s “Age of Machine” is more than just a hard rock song; it’s a poetic reflection of modern digital dependence.
• The track’s dystopian riff and mournful chorus transport listeners into a bleak yet familiar world resembling our own.
• The intro riff evokes a mechanical, industrial landscape that signals this dystopia is present in our current reality.
• The opening lyrics depict technology becoming deeply embedded in our lives from birth, describing a “perfect child” plugged into an “electric tomb.”
• The phrase “electric tomb” symbolizes digital overstimulation hiding authentic human experiences from a young age.
• Verse 2 portrays humans as creators of an omnipresent force, representing social media, cloud systems, or AI, heading towards new frontiers.
• The line “interstellar shores” hints at escapism and the pursuit of higher connectivity or intelligence.
• Verse 3 indicates that even “godlike” machines can malfunction, leading to emotional and social consequences like burnout and disconnection.
• When systems fail, they cause emotional collapse and reflect the fragile nature of our reliance on technology.
• Verse 4 offers a moment of liberation, advocating for unplugging and shedding societal expectations embedded in digital life.
• “No more underscores” suggests abandoning artificial identities created online.
• Opening “the doors” symbolizes reconnecting with reality, nature, or human relationships outside the digital realm.
• The chorus emphasizes the emotional pain inflicted by digital interactions, expressing feelings of defeat, being cheated, and retreating.
• It calls for healing, recognizing the inner wounds caused by virtual isolation, ghosting, and long-distance digital heartbreak.
• The chorus includes a plea for higher help, acknowledging that only a higher power or oneself truly comprehends the damage endured.
• The guitar solo symbolizes data mining, likening it to extracting gold, emphasizing data’s value in today's economy.
• Visuals of figures mining a human-like statue reinforce the metaphor that personal data is commodified and exploited for profit.
• The song’s conclusion loops through riffs and instrumentals, illustrating the ongoing, unending cycle of dependence on the machine.
• Rather than resolving, it emphasizes the relentless, draining feedback loop we are trapped in.
• “Age of Machine” acts as a mirror, prompting self-examination of how much we let machines shape our identities and sense of humanity.
• The song is a call for healing and a reflection on what it takes to reconnect with genuine human experience.
• It encourages listeners to consider unplugging and stepping away from digital dependence, even if just temporarily.
• The interpretation has evolved over time, reflecting a personal journey of understanding and perspective.
• The author acknowledges AI assistance in refining this reflection, emphasizing a focus on meaningful expression.

You are welcome to read the full article where I share my personal interpretation of the song's lyrics, inspired by my own ideas and years of experience analyzing the song. I also used assistance from AI to support the writing of the article. Thank you very much, and I hope you enjoy it!
