I’d like to think it was a subtle middle finger to Hasbro.

I used to use a Meier Audio headphone amp which ‘fixed’ this with a switch toggle. Handy feature.

Nano is more like fast food. It’s easy and convenient, but it makes you feel a little guilty and dirty afterwards.

In any case, I stand by my decision to almost never buy single player games within the first year or even second year of release. I save money and the worst bugs are fixed. If I keep seeing articles about a game popping up everywhere, I become even more sceptical about whether it’s hype that’s warranted.

I think the aim for this law is to make it easier to empower employees to say ‘no’ with the risk of high fines as a deterrent. Whether it makes a difference or whether employers will simply force you to agree to contact outside of work hours via updated job contracts, is anyone’s guess.

I forgot to mention, all of the client passwords for things like web hosting and social media accounts were in a plain text Word document too. The boss didn’t think there was anything wrong with this.

There’ll sadly be a lot of MAGA people who think those conditions don’t exist.

Yeah I just realised my error after posting about ‘nya’.

Meanwhile at the place I used to work, my boss had a single hard drive holding 10 years of unencrypted client data that he expected me to use day-to-day for live tasks.

I have over 500 passwords in my password manager. I don’t know what I’d do without it.

I love the simplicity of Indonesian.

There is no ‘the’.

If you want to say the word for a group of something, you can usually double up the noun.

Book = buku

Many books = buku-buku

There are no conjugations or tenses since it’s implied based on context.

Eg. Tadi pagi saya pergi ke pasar.

Literally translated as “This morning I go to market”. Since the morning occurs in the past, the past tense is implied and understood.

In informal conversations, you can also usually drop the subject if you’re talking about yourself.
