It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons →

MacOS Tahoe, Apple new mac operating system, promising updates, like function and new UI, which is very bad, just like Windows Vista-esque, and now, new rant about how Apple designing its context menu, it is, “copying” windows ugly UI and HID.

Icons are supposed to be easily recognizable from a distance. Every icon designer knows: small details are no-go. You can have them sometimes, maybe, for aesthetic purposes, but you can’t rely on them.

I have not yet upgrade or trying this new operating system, and it seems, will not use it in the near future.

Al-Ghazali: The Thinker Who Linked Money to Morality →

Pastinya sering dengan kata-kata mengenai uang, seperti, “uang bukan segalanya, tapi segalanya butuh uang”, “uang tidak dibawa mati, tapi mati butuh uang juga”, atau uang adalah sumber bencana, dan lainnya.

Pandangan ini bisa jadi sah-sah saja, seperti yang disebutkan oleh Al-Ghazali, uang itu seperti cermin, akan berguna jika ada yang ditampilkan, sebuah fasilitator, sebuah alat tukar, tidak lebih.

Di video ini membahas pandangan Al-Ghazali mengenai uang, dan bagaimana uang membentuk manusia, kelompok, sampai bisa membentuk negara, meski hanya sebuah alat, tapi bisa menjadi kuat dan bisa juga menjadi senjata.

Some projects I found interesting

Somtimes you can found some interesting projects on GitHub. I was looking for something to help me with my daily tasks, and found these projects, mind you these projects was packaged using docker, so it was easy to run on my mac or any other machine that support containerization.

1. Bento PDF

2. Actual Budget

3. Wallos

4. Beszel

5. Dawarich

6. Linkwarden

You can try all of the app directly from the docker hub, just run the following command:


docker run -d --name bentopdf -p 3000:8000 bentopdf/bentopdf:latest

or if you are using Podman as your container runtime, you can run the following command:


podman run -d --name actual -p 3000:8000 bentopdf/bentopdf:latest

RIP Browsers →

Having read this article, kinda scary to see the “progress” of the browser, where it will heading, and what technologies was baked into the browser.

Yes indeed, just like Jim, I love browsers.

Using, reviewing many browser on my blog, probably because I used to develop websites, that needed a lot of testing, how the app work, is the UI works, how it interact with browsers, compatibilities etc.

Currently I am using few browsers, Brave, Orion, Zen, and Safari. previous browser I was using was Firefox, Arc, Chrome. The last three browser i was given up mostly because of the security, lack of innovations.

It is sad to see browser has more and more become a honeypot for data collections, or a trap for their users, it’s like we are giving these companies a way to know us more and more deeper, and obviously they will sold the data to the higest bidder, for ads, for anything. The browser that I am using also the same, in some way, they will monetize their users, and with AI, and obviously its term & condition, will override the privacy feature, and browser company will have a way to collect more data.

PPATK dan akun dormant yang diblokir →

Pendapat saya mengenai pemberlakuan aturan akun dormant dan aksi blokir yang dilakukan oleh bank terhadap akun blokir tersebut.

Secara prinsip dan ide dari aturan ini, saya cenderung mendukung, tapi dengan adanya penekanan aturan sampai tidak bisa ngapa-ngapain, agak lumayan ribet aja sih, musti urus ini itu yang belum tentu akun tersebut dipakai sering.
