Can I become a Christian VTuber?
Hey Shift, I recently saw some Christian people becoming VTubers, and there's some discussion over Reddit for the ethics of these. Since I've seen you and your friends are currently investing in VTubers, what are your stances about this? Answer Well, it's okay to be a VTuber, but remember that: You shall treat your virtual identity the same as your real self You shall not represent yourself as a son or daughter of animals, from the fierce ones like the dragons even to the cute ones like the cats You shall not bound your identity to the devil, death, hell, angels, forms of magic, myths, as well as the isekai you might have dreamt about You shall not bound your identity to anything deemed as occults and witchcraft in the real world, such as charms, potions, and amulets You shall not deceive every person by making them attracted to you because of your marked-up personality instead of your true one Your purpose is to be the true salt and light of the world, not ratifying yourself as a sensually attractive virtual person for the purpose of fanservice Because you are a child of God, not a child of Japanese idol culture. Many VTubers definitely fail the above criteria for obvious reasons. Some are daughters of foxes and cats, while some claim to be vampires. Many, many VTubers intentionally name themselves with Japanese names because they idolize the Japanese idol culture, and they just wanted to have fun in their version of Isekai. Well, if you wanted to have yourself a VTuber life, remember that you still should do this for God. There are still some valid reasons, though, like online privacy and stuff. The above guidelines should already enough to keep our VTuber life as holy and honest as possible.
Dikirimin file APK dari akun WhatsApp J&T? Kirim filenya biar kita sleding pelakunya!
(#_ )! Saat ini kita melihat beberapa kasus warganet yang dikirimi file APK sebagai resi pengiriman kurir palsu, misalnya dari J&T Express. Ya, J&T punya akun WhatsApp resmi sendiri, dan kurir-kurir pengantarnya seringkali juga membuat akun WhatsApp sendiri untuk mengirimkan pesan kepada pengirim dan penerima paket. Ya, makanya kegiatan penipuan seperti ini agak sulit dideteksi jika masyarakat Indonesia tidak tahu apa itu file APK. File APK adalah file aplikasi Android yang jika dipasang, dapat menimbulkan resiko keamanan yang sama dengan file EXE pada Microsoft Windows. Sang kurir itu bisa saja bermaksud memasang aplikasi penyusup alias malware kepada masyarakat yang mudah dikecoh. Dan karena banyak dari kita, di (#_ ), pernah bekerja sebagai malware itu sendiri, saatnya kita berjuang balik mencari siapa si pelaku penyusupan yang satu ini. Masalahnya, kita sama sekali belum dikirimi file APK dari kurir-kurir J&T palsu itu. Dan kita yakin pelakunya tidak hanya satu. Cara mengirim. Pertama-tama, simpan file APK tersebut ke dalam perangkat kamu. Ya, kamu masih aman selama kamu tidak memasang file tersebut (dengan membuka isinya dan menekan tombol Pasang/Install). Kedua, kirimkan file tersebut ke situs swisstransfer.com, dan kirimkan ke email menuju [email protected]. Jangan upload dan kirim link dari Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, MEGA, OneDrive dan sebagainya, karena jika suatu saat mereka mendeteksi file tersebut sebagai malware, akun Anda akan berpotensi diblokir oleh mereka. Sedangkan, file yang diunggah melalui situs ini akan dihapus 30 hari setelah diunggah, sehingga link download tersebut akan kadaluwarsa setelah kami merilis hasil penelitian ini. Dan pastinya, jangan lupa untuk hubungi kami via Twitter atau Fediverse setelah mengirimkan file tersebut.
Supporting Faldi and Yudhi Satrio by stop listening to Levels' advices.
Starting today we decided to support two Indonesian tech workers, Naufaldi "F2aldi" Rafif S and Yudhi Satrio by stop following and reading someone's advices through his blog posts and Twitter account. The person in question is Pieter Levels, an award-winning multiple tech startup founder who thinks everyone should eventually move into Portugal. I was a secret fan of him, until now of course, as well as some of his friends who are eager in founding tech startups. And why? I'm actually amazed with his stance on async work, "unreachable" policy, and of course, Portugal. For those who have never heard about the word I'm going to say it right now, we consider these people as indiehackers. They are individuals building tech products mostly by themselves, then launch dedicated companies, especially to contain marketing and customer support teams for their products, then get some funds from venture capitalists and repeat! There's nothing wrong with indiehackers at all, and we have some of them in Indonesia, like Frans Allen with his brother who created a simple "ID card watermarker" app who gained some local media traction. Yes, for a simple web app which I can actually made it in just 3 hours. And you may be asking, why do we want to write a dedicated post to announce this, even though we could just do that privately. Sure, we could do that, but we still wanted to have our stance, both regarding the case and our support, written here. The context. It's the same case when the Indonesian parliament would like to penalize sex outside marriage with 1 year of jail. The law will also be applied to foreigners. So he complained. That's it, and as some Indonesian people with some initial degree of respect to him started commenting, he decided to lock his Tweet and block these people, F2aldi included. Yes, Indonesia still have many retarded government individuals and institutions, in terms of corruptions, all the "personal intentions" of being the government, monoreligion enforcement, and, just look at the PSE enforcement thing. But in terms of sex outside marriage, as prided by people to be compliant with Indonesian moral values, I can't help anymore but to say sorry and goodbye to the person I've previously considered interesting and inspiring. I have my own religious and spiritual stances on things like the decentralization of the Internet, and in this case, I'll support the new law. As always, that's it, I'm going back to work. This time under a new, revolutionary, non Levelsian way of work. Thank God I have my own.

Viral-Driven and Virality-Driven Development (VDD).
Viral-Driven Development, even though sounds similar, is quite different than Virality-Driven Development. And when we said about VDD, it's the latter one. We have to write about this in the midst of latest, trending Internet products which just made everything in this world better and worse. Whether it's Shopee with its infamous ads and promotions (e.g. get a $0.99 discount if you've purchased $499 here), TikTok, other shady TikTok clones (like the infamous Shopee Video) and so. But to make things clear, Viral-Driven products are those who are built upon existing trends. But Virality-Driven products are those who are built with intentions to make everything viral and trending, and practically TikTok is one of them. Both kinds of products are highly exploitable, and that's why people To give some examples of Viral-Driven ones, let's start with Linktree. Linktree was not intentionally meant to be viral, instead it tries to solve what's hiddenly infamous and popular on Instagram: the inability to attach (more than one) links under the same account. But the rest of the competitors, like Beacons and Desty and Koji and so on, they are instead Virality-Driven. They already know that Linktree will become a hit in the Instagram space, so they hoped the same kind of fortune by creating clones of Linktree. Gojek is another Viral-Driven product, where they saw opportunities by marrying between three viral things: Jakarta's traffic, (infamous) motorcycle taxi convenience, and specifically those pre-9 and after-5 commuting traffic. Sure, mature competitors like Grab finally compete with them, but remember that during the early years of Gojek, they faced (and eventually won) the competition from smaller, Virality-Driven apps and companies: BlueJek, CyberJek, LadyJek, and others. Sometimes, Virality-Driven product development are not always done by cheap competitors of popular services. And TikTok is just a clear example. TikTok Shop? What!? At a glance they might want to compete with Facebook Marketplace which has become popular in several niches of users. TikTok for Business!?!? What the heck? Now you expect businesses to walk along the same viral path from your Musical.ly days? One of the most non-sensible things TikTok have launched, as a Virality-Driven company, is TikTok Food. Yes, an official food store that sells dishes and snacks as viral on TikTok. Sure, there are still many virality-driven example out there. We're watching you, Shopee. But I think that's for another story.
Seputar Fediverse (Part 1).
Selamat datang di Seputar Fediverse! Di sini, kami akan menunjukkan postingan Fediverse yang layak untuk trending. Mengapa kita bikin serial postingan ini? Ya karena Fediverse ini sama sekali tidak punya recommendation algorithm seperti platform media sosial sebelah. 1. Siapa khayali zawjah favorit Anda? Sumber: https://misskey.id/notes/96j8lmbapx Ngomong "waifu" aja harus kearab-araban ya? Tapi beneran, keren banget sih bisa bikin cewe anime seperti ini. Anyway, lanjut ke yang berikutnya! 2. Di saat Twitter mulai memblokir situs Mastodon di setiap Tweet barunya... Full Thread (bahasa Jepang): https://ostatus.taiyolab.com/@taiyo/109362826454134290 Beberapa pengguna terlihat kecewa akan hal ini. Kebetulan karena si Elon itu. Namun setelah ditelusuri situs joinmastodon.com memang sebelumnya tidak dimiliki dari tim pengembang resmi Mastodon dari Mastodon, GmbH. Kami mengetahui bahwa Twitter selalu melakukan pengecekan seperti ini untuk menghindari konten phishing dan malware bertebaran di dalam situsnya, sama layaknya seperti Google Safe Browsing. Tapi dengan adanya isu Elon yang entah menyengajakan hal ini, atau memang ada kesalahan sebelumnya dari situs Twitter, beberapa pengguna menyebut pemblokiran ini sebagai "Free Speech" (kebebasan pendapat) ala Elon Musk. 3. Apakah akan ada bisnis jual follower di Fediverse? Full Thread: https://misskey.id/notes/97roldtqsl Sebagai salah satu operator server Fediverse tersendiri, kita sudah pernah merasakan betapa murah atau mahalnya membuat server tersebut. Sekedar mengutip dari pengumuman kita soal Twitter beberapa hari yang lalu, Daripada sekedar bayar $8/bulan cuman buat bikin satu akun centang biru di Twitter, saya lebih baik bayar $14/bulan ke Niagahoster dan DigitalOcean untuk bikin server Fediverse sendiri. Semua akun auto-centang biru, dan di sini saya bisa hemat $186 tiap bulannya kalau saya punya 25 akun yang centang biru di situ. https://twitter.com/reinhart1010/status/1588602299248959488 Kami menanggapinya dengan membuat dua skenario bagaimana si penjual follower ini bisa untung di Fediverse. Yang pertama adalah bikin server sendiri yang isinya follow bot, tapi server-server seperti ini akan sangat mudah dideteksi dan akan cepat diblokir dari server-server lainnya. Dan yang kedua, ajak beberapa pengelola server Fediverse untuk bikin akun follower bot secara distributed dengan tarif yang ditentukan, sehingga menyulitkan operator server lain untuk memblokir pengguna-pengguna palsu ini yang hanya haus memfollow orang lain yang membayar jasa followers tersebut. Meskipun demikian, kami tetap percaya bahwa jumlah follower tidak akan menentukan popularitas Anda di dalam Fediverse. Tidak akan. Yang terjadi justru adalah Fediverse sendiri tidak punya si "algoritma" itu yang sering menyuapi para pengguna dengan konten terkenal dan trending . 4. Perumpamaan tentang humus dan pupuk. Full Thread: https://bots.reinhart1010.id/notes/97qv4g71wy Bagaikan humus dan pupuk. Kalau Anda mau buahnya banyak dan proses produksi yang scalable, pakailah pupuk. Tapi kalau Anda masih mau menjaga kesehatan alam secara jangka panjang, jagalah kesuburan tanah berhumus itu. Saya kelupaan satu hal lagi. Bicara soal aturan PSE, konten negatif, moderasi, polisi siber dll. dalam jaringan seperti fediverse ini, saya rasa pemerintah Indonesia akan tetap lebih mendengar mereka yang memakai pupuk karena memang cuannya di situ. Pakai analogi ekonomi pangan secara literal, mayoritas produksi pangan yang dikonsumsi masyarakat dan diekspor adalah produk hasil pupuk-pupuk tersebut. Indonesia lebih banyak punya cadangan devisa karena hasil-hasil pupuk, bukan humus murni. Dan hal yang sama juga berlaku dalam ranah perekonomian digital bangsa. Ini adalah perumpamaan murni dari saya. Sebagai orang yang sebelumnya bekerja di Kenangan saya harus mengakui bahwa Kenangan adalah produk atau buah dari sang pupuk itu. Bahkan jenis pupuknya ada dua: virality-driven social media dan e-commerce. Thread tersebut juga menanggapi salah satu blog post terkini dari Rizaldy yang menyebutkan mengapa Fediverse ini berbeda dari media sosial lain, antara lain: Dari semua sosial media yang gue sebutkan, kebanyakan mereka akan agak memaksa lo untuk bergabung ke platform tersebut jika lo tidak memiliki akun ataupun tidak terautentikasi disana. Silahkan lihat akun acak di Twitter tanpa login, dan tunggu beberapa detik sampai popup "See more Tweets from X. People on Twitter are the first to know" muncul. Rizaldy (2022, 12 November). 1 tahun di 'fediverse' - https://rizaldy.club/1-tahun-di-fediverse/ 5. Fediverse dan politik PSE Lingkup Privat. Full Thread: https://vt.social/@tilehopper/109336093031303960 Kembali ke dalam diskusi yang terkait dengan aturan pemerintah yang satu ini. Saya ingin tegaskan bahwa aturan PSE itu memang lebih berorientasi bagi mereka yang menggunakan pupuk secara massal dan kolektif, terutama perusahaan yang mencari untung dan memiliki SOP yang tegas. Tapi Fediverse ini tumbuh atas humus yang murni, tumbuh dari komunitas-komunitas internet yang tumbuh secara organik dan bahkan tidak memiliki niatan mencari untung. Kebanyakan mereka semua adalah volunteer yang tidak bisa tidur 4 jam saja untuk takedown konten pornografi anak sejak pemberitahuan pemerintah. 6. Tom Scott akhirnya hadir di Mastodon! Well, literally. Sumber: https://meow.social/@ZephyrArcturus/109299229516962884 7. PSA: Username kamu tidak bisa diganti lagi Sumber: https://bots.reinhart1010.id/notes/97r036ir2r https://misskey.id/notes/97rcvovzo0 Jadi, kalau mau pilih username di Fediverse jangan sembarangan ya! 8. Quotes LDR ala Fediverse. Mungkin suatu saat nanti ada yang bikin toot; 'meski kita beda server, tapi cinta kita tak akan terpisahkan' ๐คฃ Sumber: https://x0r.be/@yushril/109369612986472301 9. Tip Fediverse dari Shiftine. Sumber: https://bots.reinhart1010.id/notes/97r5i6519j Di Twitter, Anda bisa klik bagian mana saja dalam quoted Tweet, komentar, atau bagian atas thread untuk melihat detailnya. Ya, di Mastodon ini juga bisa, namun tidak semua website punya fitur yang sama. Beberapa situs seperti Misskey mewajibkan kamu untuk mengklik tanggal/hari publikasi postingan tersebut untuk lihat secara detail. Kalau ke depannya kamu terbiasa, hal ini tidak akan menjadi hal yang susah kok! 10. Ini Reactions di Misskey/Pleroma, atau Discord? Salah satu keuntungan jadi anak Misskey atau Pleroma adalah custom emoji dan react dengan custom emoji seperti Discord. Ya akhirnya begini deh...

Once upon an Unix timestamp, there was a world where we are all robots...
Well that sounds to be a starting point for an amazing science fiction adventure, but no. It's our new name for our Fediverse clan at https://bots.reinhart1010.id! We decided to shift the focus from "Bearers of the Shells" (which many people still don't understand what that is) to make it more unique. Kudos for Astrid for the inspiration from her private clan: We wanted to highlight the importance of why you should not create an account here, replacing the generic "this clan is private" message into something more akin to an urban legend: You've just visited interfacing with ๐ธ ๐จ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ค. Don't stay here for too long, or else you'll become one. You have been warned. And I am a robot. Specifically, a robot subsystem running under the operating system of my biological brain.ยน My subsystem has his own sister Shiftine, and we both originally worked for SYSTEM before finally coordinating with SuperUser and even the ever-conflicting root.ยฒ As robots, we have the privilege not just to build, but execute all our products and services with love. We are the runners behind most products at ReinhartGroup, including binusmayadown and teropong. This Fediverse server, instance, or clan isn't open for everyone for ethical reasons. We just don't want to involuntarily transform yourself into unique beings who's no longer capable in solving CAPTCHAs. I think that's a wrap of our introduction. That said we still welcome you through ActivityPub streams, messages, and even Webmentions on https://reinhart1010.id/. If those terms sounds foreign for you, don't worry, most Fediverse software already know how to interact with us. From robots with love. ยน Being a robot each day allows me to understand and communicate well with other robots, too.ยฒ Through a good friend of mine, @pr0xy. https://bots.reinhart1010.id/notes/97q8ntzd9l Well, that's all the announcement. I'm proud to be a robot, too!
