    Kinabalu Climb Part 2 🧗‍♀️ Summit Push & Descent

    The reality of Borneo's Mount Kinabalu, we discovered, lies not in the triumphant photographs taken at dawn, but in the pitch-black, exhausting hours preceding them, and the subsequent descent.

    #Sabah's Ferret Badger Found Nowhere Else on Earth
    A collaborative study between the University of #Oxford’s #Wildlife #Conservation Research Unit (#WildCRU) and local orgs has provided the most comprehensive assessment to date of the endangered Bornean ferret badger (Melogale everetti).

  9. Checking the #iNaturalist records for Australian #PlumeMoths in the genus #Hexadactilia, it seems there is an outlier that doesn't fit either of the two known species:

    inaturalist.ala.org.au/observa

    This is further north than the other known records of the genus from #Australia and has rather different markings. It may well be an #undescribed species. The only other possibility is a third species described from #Sabah in #Borneo, but I can't locate a copy of the relevant paper. It's from a 1995 issue of Entomologische Zeitschrift Frankfurt am Main:

    Arenberger, E. (1995) Eine neue Art der Gattung Hexadactilia Fletcher, 1910 von Sabah. Ent. Z., Frankf. a. M. 105: 138-140

    I've located a copy thanks to Petr Ustjuzhanin. Looking to see if it's a match.

  11. What kind of people is this trying to label or imply the entire demographic as something, triggering those people to respond defensively to the indirect, subtle gaslighting? And then avoiding accountability by acting innocent.

  13. I contributed three weeks of real technical knowledge to a Sabahan dev group. When I responded to an MA63 post, I was called "mentally ill" and mocked with stickers while saying I was in distress. The admin pinned a topic reminder. Everyone who bullied me stayed. I was removed. This is the record.

  15. Today I found six observations in #iNaturalist that include what may well be the only photos ever taken of live many-plume #moths in the genus #Triscaedecia.

    This is a rarely recorded genus for which I accidentally became co-author on a 2019 global revision: researchgate.net/publication/3

    There are six named species, four first described in the 2019 paper.

    The new records include the second known individual of Triscaedecia svetlanae, extending its range from mainland #Malaysia to #Sabah in #Borneo, and the first (five) records of the genus from #Australia (far north #Queensland). The latter are probably Triscaedecia septemdactyla, a species previously recorded from New Guinea and the Bismarck Islands. I need to check the national #insect #collection here in #Canberra to see if there are any existing specimens in the unsorted material.

  19. I feel like I'm tired and have a headache. I don't know why. Maybe because I was drinking more caffeine than my body needs, and I have been looking at and interacting with electronic devices more constantly and for longer than my body is capable of.

  21. What I have learned from my vibe coding since I started it within the past 28 days: I prompted AI, and they produced so much AI slop. However, it's better than nothing; I can't even code "hello world" lol. It's hard. I'm still in semester 2. The good experience in vibe coding is that I have learned and used Git, GitHub, and more earlier than what my college diploma is going to teach me.

  29. Threaten people to accept Bahasa Melayu or not to live in Malaysia. They forget that there is an Orang Asli language, the indigenous language of Sabah and Sarawak. They don't threaten like that.

  30. Ugut orang supaya menerima Bahasa Melayu atau jangan duduk di Malaysia. Mereka lupa ada bahasa Orang Asli, bahasa pribumi Sabah dan Sarawak. Tiada pula mereka ugut begitu.

  31. AI is a vital tool for disabled individuals like me, not a threat to authenticity. It eases the burden of masking, letting my true ideas shine. It defends my dignity in a system that values only 'human capital'—my digital paintbrush, still wielded by me.

  32. I've wanted AMOLED phones since the 2010s (my teenage years). People had them. At that time, AMOLED phones were usually expensive and only available for flagship models. As of now, I have had two AMOLED phones. The first one was bought for me by my mum (which a random troll on Lemmy.world never contributed anything to me except harm).
