And in Paris it could cost you an extra €60 or something if there's random ticket check and you can't provide that you have the ticket. As a tourist I've seen this myself in Bir-Hakeim Station. Please keep your ticket, don't throw it away!

I'd like to think that in 2023 with the spread of (democratic) information on the internet people will be more matured, stand up against dictatorship and all that but then just last month Hun Sen jailed many if not all opposition candidates rendering the election a charade to let the world know that "hey we have democracy here".

Sadly, this happened in many country in Southeast Asia especially those with Junta military in power. Thailand Parliament just last week ends Pita Limjaroenrat quest who win popular vote to be Thai PM. And in Myanmar, everyone from Aung San Su Kyi Party (NLD) already in jail or worse missing.

Indonesia where i live used to be ruled by Junta Military for almost 32 years until reformation in 1998. What's important to note is that General Soeharto himself wasnt full blast cracking down on democracy supporters, there are still casualities but the overall smooth transfer of power is what the we can be proud of. I'm not saying that Indonesia is the best model but maybe other country with Junta Military ruler can learn from us. Once they have real democracy good change will come.

You know what I'll be just take them grocery shopping at a supermarket and show them that for X amount of money you'll get less items.

Local made products. In my case it's LED lamps. It was started when i read articles on LED and in the end i was searching if there are locally made LED lamps and i found out there are some and they are quiet huge since they are doing contract making road lamps for the government.

So i look for the brand on the popular ecommerce platform and i was surprised that the price is like a quarter of the popular imported brand such as Philips, although the Lumens per Watt is lower (110 Lumens per watt). I was skeptical and hesitated to buy it at first fearing it'll become useless junk. But i took the chance and order it anyway.

I received the product the next day, four 3000K color Lamp. I'm testing it first before permanently installing it and what really surprised me the Lamp does not gets hot, only lukewarm, i guess its because of the board design where the individual LED are not tightly packed.

I gradually replaced all LED lamps at home with locally made ones, they even have 4500K color which i installed for my gf room since shes doing a lot of times doing make up and i think that requires neutral color lighting.

I don't know if the 10M is a pun or something but it reminisce the same amount that Mark Shuttleworth pledged when he started a Debian fork project called Ubuntu.

But Flatpak is very European. And KDE Kirigami is very Asian. Shall we call it best of world model? 🤭

Effing printer man! The open source movement started because of this, go ask Richard Stallman.
