  1. Dimalukan dan dipersalahkan atas imbasan QR yang rosak—kemudian terpaksa turun dari bas, tak sampai ke destinasi. Teknologi sepatutnya memberi manfaat kepada kita, bukan memalukan kita.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. Are we moving forward towards a sovereign digital nation, or are we regressing to the stone age where communication was only done through smoke signals? If the roads are dangerous because of drunk drivers and potholes, should we ban pedestrians from using the roads? Spoiler: No.

  6. Sabah is rich in resources, but politicians jail its wealth, using patronage to ensure dependency and easy bribes. The "Sabahan Malas" stereotype and using religion to gaslight are tactics to hide this reality. Focus on corrupt leaders and demand a fair system.

  8. A senator from #Sarawak has proposed that the now defunct #FeriMalaysia services between #PeninsularMalaysia and the East Malaysian states of Sarawak and #Sabah be revived

    This is not only good for tourism developments but also national integration between the people of both sides of the country

    The #ferry service was active in the late 1980s but was stopped due to financial reasons
