Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • What is the “shell” of Bearers of the Shells?

    Sure, we found out that may people don’t understand the shell thing we mean for the term “Bearers of the Shells”. We’re not selling seashells and don’t own some shares on the Royal Dutch Shell, anyway. The shell, as in BOTS here is the computer shell, and we found it difficult to translate its meaning…

  • The future of Shift and Shiftine is in the real life.

    The future of Shift and Shiftine is in the real life.

    I reflected on the days when I decided to build my own original character (OC) fantasy, be it the Hackers and Jackets, the Bearers of the Shells, the Shift of Worlds and Nations, the root force, the Jailbreaks, and so on. I built them because I really wanted to build my own dream team of…

  • A Mindvalley ad issue.

    A Mindvalley ad issue.

    It came to our attention that some videos from GMS Jakarta are monetized with ads. And before that, we’re already aware with this message: However, this time, it’s not an ordinary ad. It’s a Mindvalley ad, and we can see that their ads are currently targeting videos relating to personal life problems. You can learn…

  • The few odd things found on Hacktoberfest 2022’s presents.

    The few odd things found on Hacktoberfest 2022’s presents.

    Alright, so, the Hacktoberfest 2022’s presents are finally here! The first thing I’m looking here is, well, for DigitalOcean’s shark stickers. And it seems this is the first Hacktoberfest, over those consecutive years, who doesn’t offer them. Quite disappointing. I think it’s also to note that some Indonesian devs here are complaining for higher import…

  • Site and infrastructure updates, February 2023 Edition.

    Finally! Another blog post full of our love from the digital world! We are almost running out of scheduled blog posts, but don’t worry, we’re going to fill it up soon. And here’s a summary of all the changes: It’s the toughest month yet, we guessed. Why, because we’re preparing for one our shiftiest moments…

    TL;DR: Another Fediverse instance based on Pleroma or Rebased.

  • Universal.css: The Tailwind CSS that never was.

    Are you tired to organize your CSS class names? Check out Universal.css, the only CSS you need. It’s available for just under 5MB storage, but it’s really worth the size. (Just don’t use Tailwind CSS, it’s a cheap ripoff of Universal.css).

  • Re: The (extremely) loud minority (of JavaScript and Typescript developers)

    Actually, there’s a DEV.to post named “17 Compelling Reasons to Ditch TypeScript for JavaScript”, only to be defeated by another post named “18 Reasons to Use TypeScript Since Yesterday”. I’ve documented all my criticisms here at “Code, not Content”. Since you specifically mentioned Twitter as the main source for these loud posts, I can say…

  • Releasing an Instagram filter next week!

    Releasing an Instagram filter next week!

    I’ll be releasing a new Instagram filter that transforms yourself into a living, bionic gold statue. This, actually, is a continuation of our work to make a safe version of “bionic gold” developed by the two scientists in our botworld, Putri “Timun Mas” and Gold (who still wanted to remain anonymous this time). They originally…

  • A personal reflections of using Twitter in early 2023.

    After months after the Musk takeover, a few people asked us if we will eventually stop using Twitter and move everything to Mastodon and others. So here’s our official answer: Not yet. But we’ll keep our Twitter archives fresh in the long term. At one point, Twitter is still good for customer service outreach for…

Got any book recommendations?
