Commenting so I could be the 100th commenter here 😁. Currently at 99 as I am typing.
Wtf just happened and how can i missed the train uhuk
uwu seems like lemmy is gaining more traction. Though mostly are DTs regulars. uwu. Just thought I’d pop in and say happy weekend 🥳
YHappy weekend~
Happy weekend for you too!
From just adjusting my parking brake to changing the master pump. No wonder the car locks up so easily, only the front brakes were working, I thought the tires were just shit.
Now my car can actually brake and doesn’t move a couple of centimeters when I pull the parking brake.
did it feel like the car’s sliding when braking? and since the rears didn’t work the fronts were probably working way harder?
Yeah, the fronts would lock up during hard braking much more easier than it should’ve. It’s a Kancil so it doesn’t have ABS but it should’ve lock up during much harder braking.
what happens when the front lock up in the Kancil? When i go kart and the front lock up, i’m usually bracing for the rear to swing around and i have to countersteer lol… fun but scary to be honest - crashed so many times cause of this. wonder if a car will exhibit the same behaviour
If I don’t modulate the brakes it’ll go wherever wants lol and of course the braking distance is longer but with the all weight in the front, it’s still controllable and predictable. Locking up happened so much to me that it becomes second nature for me to cadance brake when I feel like I’m applying to much pressure lol.
IIRC, Toyota MR2s have the tendency to overslide because it’s rear engined.
Yes MR2 is prone to lift off oversteer. It’s technically mid-engined, MR2 stands for mid-engined RWD or Mid-ship roundabout. Also read that this trait is overexageratted, it’s indeed a characteristic of all mid-engined cars. I believe it was very affordable back in the days and after many years people are still picking them up as cheap project cars… putting Camry V6s in them etc.
you’re essentially giving novices the driving layout of gods (aka mid-engined RWD) for people who presumably have only driven FWD or traditional FR RWD…
Strangely, the only layout that is not prone to lift-off oversteer is rear engined RWD, which is only found on Porsche 911. i read that the car enjoys being provoked like that, it’s how it generates grip and rotate lol, just like a rally car. not surprised that it’s the fastest NA car on nurburgring
Dude, is this the same issue you talked about months ago? Glad that you had it fixed!
Different Kancil lol but same issue.
ayo…i just found out about Lemmy NSFW… somehow it’s more cursed than NSFW subreddits cause you know, the entire instance is NSFW. shame they didn’t call it Lemmy Smash
Gah… got boned by the recent IPTA concert debacle, cancelled for “reasons”.
wow! the fediverse is so dahsyat la. I posted something in !cafe from my calckey account to test if cross posting works.
my original intention was for you all to see it, but within half an hour, it has already collected 10 comments from the rest of the lemmyverse!
Yeah, people tend to browse with “all” to see more content, but unlike Reddit, c/cafe doesn’t comes with country identifier like r/malaysians does, so no one will think twice about answering your question since it’s also pretty general.
Same thing with my watermelon post which get a tons of views, upvotes, and comment from lemmyverse and people from different country. The tone is a bit different than what we always get from monyet.cc, and the advice is not malaysia climate specific.
I originally create c/food for us msians and monyet.cc, but lately i got a few people not from msia posting on it. This two case got me thinking.
Which I think it’s good in a sense. We’re no doubt a Malaysian-centric instance, but it’s not like our rule specifies against it. Any user traffic is good I guess.
The ~powaaaah of the fediverse /skeletor
cystic acne sucks man… they’re all around my chin area. fucking painful.
currently taking doxycycline, was told to be patient and i need at least 3 months to see effect. it’s almost month 3 now but it only got worse. visiting parents in my hometown atm and left my acne cream (some antibiotics + topical retinol cocktail) in my apartment.
gonna try bezoyl peroxide later as stop gap solution.
Good luck man, gf had it and I felt so bad for her. It’s hormonal right? Making it even harder to resolve? The worst part of it is people giving normal skincare advice and not hormonal skin care advice lol
Yeah it’s hormonal acne.
The worst part of it is people giving normal skincare advice and not hormonal skin care advice lol
Yo this so much…. Normal skincare advice do not work lol. Even with prescription topical retinol it’s difficult enough to manage.
My dad thinks it’s shingle and keeps asking me to go to this folk medicine place involving them snapping some rubber band near the ears to “kill” the snake…. He said it worked for him 🤣
My gf gets a lot of generic advice like changing sheets, wash face, use moisturizer, etc. But one advice stuck out to her - it is to take a spoonful of extra virgin olive oil every morning before eating. Weirdest advice she’s heard, and she heard it from two people on completely separate occasions. Both these people also dealt with hormonal acne.
Does it work? We don’t know because on the first day of trying it, she learned that she hated the taste of a spoonful of extra virgin olive oil lmao so I can’t vouch for it.
I rather drink kerosene than drink extra virgin olive oil…… hahahah.
The doctor that saw me actually asked me to stick to the basics and don’t even use skin care other than moisturiser. Asked me to wash with warm water with a “mild” moisturiser like Cerave.
Well that Cerave actually gave me worse breakouts and Rosacea…. So recently been using some leftover Korean cream.
But basically I’m just so fed up, I have zero control over how my face look other than to wait it out.
It’s the thing people comment about first thing they see me even, ie. my partner’s parents : oh dukeGR4 your face so many acne you still wanna order spicy hotpot broth?!
😭 😭 😭
Where did the “Subscribed” option go on lemmy.world?
Hmm? Would you care to elaborate a bit?
Or maybe you haven’t sign in yet? This version of Lemmy UI have a problem of npt signing in when you first open the browser, refreshing will fix it.
Oh oops it was me not logged in haha. Thanks.

That’s a bit tricky for now since we haven’t established the instance-wide etiquette and moderating NSFW content is really really hard, and not easy for the moderator’s psyche too.

Who open it they will have to seed it.
no. not that kind of seed

NO FUN! LET THEM TIDDIES FLOP AND THEM BOOTY BOUNCE!!! WE WANT NSFW PHOTOS!
Great question. We’ve been talking this out internally and will share a note on this soon!

do you need permission to create a community? as in, it has to be validated or something?

fair enough, the mods are asking for feedback about the NSFW now, have a gander and share what you think
I think most daily thread regular migrated. Dt has waaay less traffic than before.
And why does lemmy keep asking me to relogin? I wonder if theres some boxes i havent check yet.
try clearing cookies (if you don’t want to be logged out everywhere, do it only for this site) because there was a lemmy cookie bug that was fixed last week, and old cookies carried over from before the fix could cause such problems
try clearing cookies
Shit, no wonder. I still have two cookie i haven:t finished yet.
Do you get the relogin when opening the site? Or does it ask you to do it every refresh?
It ask meto relog everytime i reoppen the apps. I mean i understand that its not an app, just an icon created to enter the site. But i had no problem with login when i just joined, not sure why i have to face that now.
Yeah, i got the same problem as well. Cleaning cache doesn’t fix it either. Anyway, next time just refresh the page and it will fix it right away, i do it every time.
not so long ago, maybe 6-7 years ago, just before GE, the daily thread used to be very deserted lol, double digit almost every single day. This chat thread does remind me of the calmness the old DT provided me, and hopefully many other people.
if you go even further back maybe 7-8 years ago, the entire sub was a desert, you could post very strange questions like What does everyone do for a living, What is everyone’s favourite food etc… HAHHA
I was there for 1500 subscriber - there wasn’t a daily thread or anything. I ran across the sub before, but i wasn’t active or anything. The meme golden era where meme chains can last days or weeks, the ‘we are serious sub, no meme’ time, the screaming political posts and comments era (no meme and only serious posts make monyets cranky), and then return of the meme (monday)
one of the time the amount of people spiked was during the ODF debate i think. tech people already on reddit finally found their way to r/malaysia even if they ignored it before.
What’s ODF debate? Open document sth? Google’s saying that’s from 2007?
Damn that’s real old… I only joined at around 2015/2016 when it had around 6800 subs. Remember 10000 being a big event. Reddit never appealed to me cause the UI kinda wack.
From there it snowballed, with the two GEs + Sheraton Move being the biggest user magnet.
Maybe monyet.cc can grow if we weather a few of those events haha
@cendawanita I’ve been trying out foundkey and akkoma today, and I definitely see why you prefer the interface of the *keys over akkoma (do you know if akkoma inherited its ui from pleroma?)
however, I couldn’t get posts from foundkey to federate over to lemmy. hopefully that’s caused by a setting that can be changed, and it’s not due to the *keys being incompatible with lemmy by default.
anyway, which of the *keys did you say you have experience with? (and how many of them are there? I’ve seen misskey, calckey, foundkey. anything else you know of?)
(quite interesting, even though you @ me, i didn’t get notif also)
re: akkoma - ya it’s a pleroma fork actually. can’t quite remember if there was any technical reason for it, it was mostly because the pleroma dev+main instances was infested by nazis and rightwingers and lolis. iirc when i joined in nov 22, that was the “lore” that i picked up.
of the *keys, misskey is the original flavour but the japanese founder dev is apparently a bit of a lone wolf and so the dev for that became quite slow. And I think there was fallout when he, in running the japanese instance for it, wouldn’t commit to moderating against homophobic speech or protecting explicit support of lgbtqia. So there was a big break from then on from there. The rest are forks of misskey, but you’ve pretty much named the major players:
- foundkey is a fork by this swiss guy. Apparently decent but is by this one guy, so that could be an issue.
- calckey is by this german guy I think. This one is going to go on relaunch on the 19th with new name etc. Supposedly it’s because the fork has branched out enough it’s its own thing, but idk. Sounds cool though, another german dude to go toe up against Eugen’s Mastodon. I’ve noticed a lot more on the Black Americans side are beginning to rec Calckey because of all the functionalities you’ve also noticed (I’m on a walled-up instance for BIPOCs for example, that runs on it). Just because of what I perceive to be real good prospects in terms of userbase and with it development and funding support, I recommend Calckey, and–
- hajkey (it’s swedish for shark, so “hai-ki”) - this one also another difference in ideology. The people behind blahaj.zone have been key contributers to the Calckey code repo but they fell out over the growth mindset with the soon-to-be-renamed Calckey so this is a soft fork. So they’ll stay within the calckey development cycle. (but who knows how soft it would be; one issue i’m sort of understanding is how resource intensive it can be as an instance grows, especially on the antenna function - btw, my favourite fedi function when it comes to scouting posts from other people.) My kitajagakita alt is one awkward.company, that one runs on this software.
re: federation - the problem is normative centralization - mastodon is the main dog especially in the western and western-facing userbase, so lemmy and *keys and *oma devs do try to make sure the federation works well there. But Lemmy is already a little janky, and maybe that’s why it doesn’t really play well with the foundkey yet (esp if the fk dev has enough on his plate). try setting up on an instance on calckey (not the main one, they’re having continual performance issues) or hajkey and see if there’s any improvement from last month (even kbin wasn’t federating well with calckey).
LONG POST IS LONG
Wow, that’s a lot to digest
Do you happen to be a comp Sci graduate? Coz you sound like it ahah
I see
Yah I busybody only lmao
@[email protected] @[email protected] testing from calckey 14.0.0-dev46
so far, to make this work I’ve had to:
- pick a calckey instance that’s running a pre-release of the latest version 14
- made sure it was already on https://monyet.cc/instances to increase the chances of federation working
- search for the /c/cafe community first, and made sure the follow request completed successfully
- and only then, search for your post, and reply to it, tagging/mentioning the community too
probably some of the steps are not needed, but I just wanted to throw everything that would increase the chances of it working at my attempt 😆
@[email protected] @[email protected] and it works, yay 🎉🤯
edit: thanks for your long and informative post. by the way, when talking about calckey, you said “another german dude”, who’s the first german dude to go up against mastodon?
Yay! So happy for you.
Re: german guy - no lah, I was being unclear also. Eugen also German mah, so GvG la gitu 🤣😌
As much as I advocate for sensible, non-emotional investing via passive means, it’s hard to ignore:
-
the bear case where after a yield curve inversion, the stock market usually only crashes after the yield curve uninverts. This has yet to happen, which adds to the suspense, as it’s currently very inverted.
-
the bull case where CPI is noticeably heading back towards the Fed’s target of 2% (latest report at 3% y/y). The Fed has already said the last Fed meeting decision was a “skip”, implying that a hike is still on the cards for future meetings, however the market has been performing very positively over the past 2 months. Related to the bear case, the yield curve will uninvert once the Fed decides to cut rates instead of hiking. On the technical front, on a higher time frame, the monthly MACD had a bullish crossover for all broad-based equities indices. This could still be a FOMO rally, but so was the last 10 years (as the US market’s return was primarily driven by higher PE ratios rather than dividend yields or book value, compared to rest of the world where PE ratios are still relatively tame). For all we know, the Fed might pull off this “soft landing” shenanigan.
Well, I lied. If I just ignored the noise, and emotionlessly and periodically added to my investment portfolio come rain or shine, I would’ve ended up much better. The odds are in my favour if I just stuck to the plan.
Of course, this only comes up when market is up. Even crypto is up after some extremely favourable news yesterday. When the market is down, “oh syukor tak all-in lagi”.

today’s theme for me is alt frontends and fediverse software:
- https://libredirect.github.io/ is a web extension for firefox and chrome that auto-redirects to alt frontends (as an aside, don’t you find it interesting that there are redirects for tiktok and bilibili, but none for zuck’s networks?)
- use https://farside.link/ if you don’t want to install anything (so instead of https://reddit.com/r/popular, you modify the url to https://farside.link/reddit.com/r/popular and farside redirects you to a random alt frontend instance)
- last but not least, https://fedi.builders/ is a huge list of fediverse software for building a real alternative internet, because alt frontends are more of a stopgap measure, and sooner or later they will be taken down
I have decided that I will be using libreddit till the small communities I follow here get really active.
Awesome stuff!
which one is manis ah?
Usually i always buy susu one, not sure about the other.
Manis?
Have to depend, sometime its good sometime it’s not as good :x
ripeness i guess :D
Hmm, all seems ripe to me 🙈
But how early they pluck also will affect the sweetness. Season will affect it as well, too hot, too much water.

wow they made R2D2 into mango. hebatnye…
Got EV as well, good job thailand!
given how there is an EV called Dolphin by BYD, Mango is strangely apt for an EV if Thais were to make one lol.
It will be named…TYK.
