I hate people who locked their accounts on Facebook. I understand it's their right but it seems very arrogant to me. What are they hiding? What's their secret? They are good to be stalkers if they are like that.

Maybe I didn't provide enough context in my previous post where I said that I hate people who lock their profiles or accounts on Facebook. I have no problem with people locking their profiles but hopefully it's for a good reason not for a bad reason. I understand that it's part of their privacy but it's risky. That raises some questions about security. If you want to send them friend requests, that should be questioned by them, and if they want to send you friend requests, that should be questioned by you.

In some social networking services (SNS) with a friending system like Facebook, we can't just befriend someone, especially if they are strangers (without at least one mutual friend). We have to know who they are based on their public information before we accept their request. I have received friend requests from people like that a few times in the past and because they were fake accounts I unfriended them. Not to be racist, some of them were perverted ahh Indian men who like pictures of "bobs and vegana". No wonder they have high r4p3 rate.

Have you ever experienced a "haha reaction" bombardment on your public posts on Facebook, especially old posts? It's really suck if we want to find out who they are but they locked their potentially criminal alike profile. To stalkers, if you want to stalk don't react the posts. Luckily on most SNS they only have one type of reaction, mostly "love" or "like". So the reaction was more like a care to a post than a real reaction. I thinkost people seem to be using the reaction feature on Facebook incorrectly, at least since the late 2010s.

Don't think that this is just on the internet and not 'real life', internet is part of real life even if you pretend to be someone else (like creating alt accounts). Do you think that if you commit a crime (depending on jurisdiction) on the internet you will not be prosecuted? It is important to include morality here and if this is not important, why have community guidelines or standards in the first place? Of course for the common good of all users. However, since morality is relative, what can be considered good or bad can vary from person to person.

On 16 September, 2024, Bluesky has over 10 million users, and I was 5,583,187th user when I joined on 10 May, 2024. Since Bluesky opened their registration to the public in February 2024, they have received a huge influx of users from 2 to 10 millon users now.

I sometimes use Bluesky, not too crowded and not too quiet. Actually it is kind of boring bur still acceptable. Follow me guys on Bluesky: https://sofiaflorina.bsky.social.

The only thing I hate about Bluesky is that users can't create thread or sequence of posts like on Twitter and Threads. It's bothering me because I usually like to write long posts. At least Bluesky has some basic features. Not really bad if you just want to post updates.

Happy International Day for Universal Access of Information (IDUAI), 28 September, 2024. 2024 Theme: "Mainstreaming Access to Information and Participation in the Public Sector". This theme implies the fact that there are still many people who do not have access to information and that public participation is still lacking.

Access to information and public participation are interdependent. Both are important in creating a better society with a more transparent and democratic government. Good policy making depends on this.

Convair 990 Coronado takeoff from Bisho, South Africa, 1986. This plane is nothing without its turbofan engines, CJ805-23B, which has made it the fastest subsonic airplane with maximum speed of 540 kn or 635 mph or 1,022 km/h (mach 0.82) Don't mind about the smoke, it was an early turbofan.

Happy International Translation Day, 30 September, 2024. 2024 Theme: "Translation, an Art Worth Protecting: Moral and Material Rights for Indigenous Languages". This theme implies that translation, as original creative works in their own right, has their own copyright protection under the Berne Convention.

As creators of derivative works, translators have fought to protect their moral rights to be credited for their translated work, to control any changes to that work, and to receive appropriate compensation. Protecting these simple things will ensure a sustainable future for translation professionals and the historic art of translation itself.

This 2024 theme calls on us to protect translation as an art, protect copyright and related rights, and protect our livelihoods, thereby ensuring the future and sustainability of our profession.

For years, Indonesian people have been propagandized about the 30 September Movement on 30 September-1 October, 1965 (which killed six generals) which is always said to be carried out by the Communist Party of Indonesia.

As the result of that accusation, the Indonesian government through its army, carried out mass killings targeting members and sympathizers or, let's say, alleged sympathizers of the party which resulted in the deaths of 500,000 to 1,000,000 people.

I'm not a communist but what the Indonesian government did at that time was a crime against humanity, the history of it has mostly been erased or skipped. A black stain in the history of the Republic of Indonesia, very bad.

I don't want to go into too much detail about this since I'm still an Indonesian citizen, I also generally don't really like talking about the government of the Republic of Indonesia, it's not comfortable for me. I hope that this country can become better in the future.

Radio Moscow (Pадио Москва, Radio Moskva) in Japanese broadcast in 1970s. Firstly you will hear is the interval signal of Radio Moscow, then the "Wide is My Motherland", and lastly the State Anthem of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Roughly the transcript of the Japanese broadcast in English is like this:

Radio Moscow is calling (male voice).
Radio Moscow is calling.

Radio Moscow is calling (female voice).

He ate and drank the precious words,
His spirit grew robust;
He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was dust.
He danced along the dingy days,
And this bequest of wings
Was but a book. What liberty
A loosened spirit brings!

~ Emily Dickinson

Hey, how does it make sense if there is an anarchist but also a nationalist? National anarchism or anarcho-nationalism is funny.

Happy 19th birthday to myself.

Happy World Habitat Day, 7 October, 2024. 2024 Theme: "Engaging youth to create a better urban future". This theme implies the importance of youth responsibility to protect the habitat for their future, for future generations, to maintain sustainability.

As we know that urbanization is now very fast and inevitable, therefore we have to control it to keep the environment sustainable for everyone. Everyone must participate in controlling the urbanization, especially the youth.
