My verdict on Liquid Glass vs Material 3 Expressive.
Over the past 4 weeks, two new design systems emerge. First comes Material 3 Expressive, which upgrades the existing Material Design (or “Material You”) and fight against some boredom that do come from the previous designs. Secondly, Liquid Glass, the long-awaited redesign by Apple (and even Microsoft) fans “as inspired by visionOS”. If you don’t…
What the hack is (#- ) and how do I even pronounce it?
(#- ), formerly (#_ ), is pronounced as [ruːt]. It is homophonic with “root”, because indeed, (#_ ) is root, so (#- ) roughly means “a happy and friendly root“. (#- ) exists as a singleton with many polymorphs. alterine (alt1e) is an example of (#- ) in a form of a pragmatic robot basket…
A reminder on fascism in free, libre, open-source (FLOSS) projects and communities.
You may call any names from L (the forbidden word in major FLOSS communities, referring to a person) to P (that top YouTuber who recently advertised Linux). But I would argue that people won’t be able to reject certain people from using any Free Software or Open Source software for being “fascist” or “nazi”. In…
Site Updates, April 2025 edition.
Today four years ago, we officially launched the reinhart1010.id website. Great things come and go with our portfolio since then, including when Reinhart gained opportunities to work with Indonesian public sector projects, and recently, received a scholarship from LPDP.

My 2-month verdict of the Zen browser.
The Zen browser might be overlooked as a ripoff an actually sensible and privacy-friendly version of Arc, and possibly a best reincarnation of the dying Firefox for the power users. So now I do approve. But with some notes, of course. This infamous Arc-style layout is not for everyone who *might* have to work with…
Announcing the development of Shiftine, the Content Multiplexing System.
In the coming months, we decided to completely replace 90% of our websites, either powered by: into a single, custom-made content management system (CMS) to standardize the look, feel, and features to our websites. Our general purpose is to let future website improvements to be shipped as quick as possible, and to let ourselves build…
The illusion of Surveillance Capitalism narrative as we knew it.
Exactly one year ago, I made the decision to withdraw myself from those surveillance capitalism narrative where corporations and governments are ambitioning for extracting your data in exchange for all the fun and convenient things of the cyberspace. And you have to take action. As a person who have ever worked with real FLOSS organizations…
Site and Infrastructure updates, September 2024 edition.
Hello, world! We’re currently in the middle of something great, and we can’t wait to finally tell about that. And at the meantime, here’s what’s new and improved in our website. 1.

Fing now won’t let me scan without giving my money, so I forked an old Android app for that (Altia).
So, it came to my attention that Fing, the app highly recommended by Forbes, MakeUseOf, and other tech sites, has become so greedy that it now attempts to limit the most basic, essential features of the app: Scanning for devices inside a network. Fing Premium continuously scans your network so you don’t have to initiate…
