• i should compile mgba for my malay translation hehe

• FLAC is the most prominent lossless audio codec, about 50% compression. i think even audiophiles dont use flacs, probably only savvy audio people need for subconcious manipulations. xD idk why subconscious manipulation was a phrase i came up with

• LibreTranslate! Really lousy (at least for eng-id translation) but it's something!

• I STILL dont understand why archives love lossless compression???

• CRC is for ERROR CORRECTION TOO!?! absolute geniusses

• happy 30th bday linux

• SUPER annoyed that browsers dont let you export your history, but i guess most people would only abuse it... haih not sure if i've typed it out before but i really think utilising your browsing history is super important to keep track of your own learning

• Harian Metro, there u go, your first ismail sabri supporters

• should create a searchable directory of youtube comments for certain channels... dk what for tho. but i need to learn yt-dlp

• i have a feeling that i need to learn some database management to sort out archiving stuff, did i just stumble upon another fundamental concept? haha

• meaning of domain specific language, just specialized use case

• owhh sqlite is embedded database and therefore "more popular" cuz more devices in the world lol and most others are host-client databases (PostGreSQL)? i assume?

• lol had to follow long chain of memory to find the name of postgre

• lol popular youtube tutorials arent necessarily great, instead of packing in provoking thoughts about the meaning of database, what it is and isnt, just gave list of 5 identical items

• piratebay is cool, there's a repo on github.com to create a whole proxy of it LOL. i played around with the idea of what it takes to make one for non-eu-indian languages but probably more problematic than just not. get rid of porn section imo, but how to even moderate? and it may harm the smaller film industries, we only want to harm the propaganda big ones. But nusantara cultural accessibility is really bad, hmm i guess the reasons ive been so obsessed over archives is to improve this aspect

• tbh idk what's so bad about cloudfare.. they seem extremely neutral. maybe that's why? It's too widespread? Idk... i should find out

• hmmm cloudfare ipfs is in teres tingg

• HMM will i be able to read history textbook? I doubt it, but i made it through a few sentences so far hahahah

• Ohhh, TK (Taman kanak-kanak) -> SD (Sekolah Dasar) -> SMP (Sekolah Menengah Pertama) -> SMA (Sekolah Menengah Atas)

• the australians DID get the term from malays (or at least nusantara) https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/balanda

• hah greatful i know how to use spreadsheets, and that libreoffice calc is similar to the ones i already knew

• there are way more urban chinese people in malaysia than i thought

• WeThe15 - i wonder how what counts as disability for 15% of the population to be disabled persons

• "Grand Narratives" Lyotard's term for the totalizing narratives or metadiscourses of modernity which have provided ideologies with a legitimating philosophy of history. https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095903493

• ok maybe i could technically slowly read the SMP history textbook but i definitely cant effectively read it

• Wikipedia levels :ooo maybe i could start with level 1 articles

• Jean-François Lyotard - "Simplifying to the extreme, I define postmodern as incredulity towards meta narratives...."

• you can only know what could be expressed in language? trying to find counter-examples and arguing that that doesnt count is quite an exercise itself

• hm understanding the "Science wars" (sciencewars)... i THINK [[i THINK]] it only existed because the postmodernists felt bad for being colonizers and the realists didnt

• science wars is an apt study for present times, covid, climate emergency, mathematics' shift to formalism,

• i need to read "Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity"

• thinking about what postmodernism people would love to read is that indigenous people with little contact with outsiders dont prefer western tonality WHERE IS THAT PAPER

• interesting adam neely's answer to Aren't you a cultural imperialists touring for America? after going to mongolia with AMA funding (idk who is that). What is Polytonality Q+A. Hmm if only there was a way to search through his Q+A, haih he stopped timestamping his videos for no reason

• ok watching his qna goes through too many thoughts cant possibly document them all, still trying to find that paper/video

• now im wondering how postmodernism got into my brain, i dont think i read anyone explicitly teaching it, maybe i picked up hints from a bunch of places? idk, this is why u document stuff

• YIKES i remember watching the same ted talk long ago about "classical music" and "learning" from it...

• hehehe FIRST citation from wikipedia's page on dissonance https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-65615-8 check the references :)

• FOUND IT HAHAHAHA

=> doi:10.1038/nature18635

• hmm initially misread as Bolivians rating consonance higher than US residents, immediately mentally comparing it to Indian people liking Bollywood style music, but tbh i dont even know the harmonic content of pop indian songs and if classical indian music significantly impacts them or at least a non-trivial portion of them. and imagining that US residents are too familiar with consonance and liked something else for a change for the experiment

• OK this paper is super good, logging off
