car enthusiasts may appreciate this-
just rode in the Nissan Z. despite riding on coilovers and very fat 275 rubbers… the NVH of the Nissan Z is quieter and smoother than most continental cars that i have driven and been in.
I have lusted for a certain B58-powered Toyota for a while now after being strapped in the passenger seat to drift on the track. After experiencing the new Nissan Z, i think i’m sold. And that retro 300ZX-inspired rear with a spoiler, 240Z-inspired roofline, bonnet, bumper is sex man… looks better IRL than in pictures trust me.
The concept Proto Z with the Ikazuchi Yellow and black grills is just chef’s kiss. Thank God the production model looks the same as the Proto concept.
yeap, i had a ride in the Proto Z in that same exact colour and spec. them RAYS wheel do be ugly, owner swapped it for NISMO LMGT-4, also made by RAYS la.
i personally prefer silver! contrasts the black bits well.
I saw someone swapping the rims with a TE37, it looks awesome but then again TE37s looks well on most cars.
I just got a set of TE37 Saga SL fitted too. First set of aftermarket wheels. They look alright certainly look better on coupes like Z when they’re like 19 inches I believe that’s when you get FACE 5. Imagine that on the GTR damnnn
That said out of all TE37s, TE37V would look better on the Nissan Z. Seen it before on 370Z. There’s sth about retro wheels on a retro-like car like the new Z
Another 5 spoke that I like is Advan GT Beyond, would totally rock too, maybe in the Hypergram Black if the car is dark coloured like that very dark wine red.
here are some photos of the car
Imgur has somehow flagged it as porn, understandable.

@dukeGR4@monyet.cc using an instance of the rimgo alt frontend, the url becomes: https://rimgo.kling.gg/a/F3i13pF
nice and lightweight, no js required 🆒 #altfrontends
what’s the benefit of using alt front end when imgur does the job lol just like on reddit? i’m gonna need someone to explain to me… so complicated!!!
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
Awesome stuff!
I have decided that I will be using libreddit till the small communities I follow here get really active.
uwu seems like lemmy is gaining more traction. Though mostly are DTs regulars. uwu. Just thought I’d pop in and say happy weekend 🥳
Happy weekend for you too!
YHappy weekend~
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?!
😭 😭 😭

fair enough, the mods are asking for feedback about the NSFW now, have a gander and share what you think
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.

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”.

My parents always nudged me to exercise more while saying I can eat whatever I want. But do you guys think exercise or diet is more effective? Or it’s a mix of both? Personally I think it’s a mix of both, but sometimes I’d get fatter for no reason(even though I was still exercising) then I’d somehow get slimmer for no reason(I wasn’t exercising during this period because I was exhausted from work). My diet was pretty much the same.
I really don’t understand how my body works.

Thanks for the tips in exercising! I normally go to mixed rice shops because they are cheaper haha

issue with malay and indian mxed rice is they never understand what is Kurang Manis, and the kuah and curry memang sedap can you guarantee you will portion control…? hahhaa… also the curry dishes require pecah minyak before they pour in the rempah, uses way more oil than Chinese cooking. typing this out already make me salivate yummmmm
Coming in a bit late but I’ll say this: if you want to exercise for fitness, yes please do. But exercise and/or dieting for weight loss is basically… Bunk. Yes there will be (short-term) results but much of the state of evidence in 2023 will tell you that TLDR your body is very good at staying alive and if your weight setpoint is such-and-such, then work with the body you have to give you the fitness that’ll give you good long term prospects. Even your own personal experience (at your age) is telling you there’s no real meaningful correlation, meaningful as in you can’t minmax your way to a solution. General advice about living well seems sound, but nutrition and fitness science literature is showing there’s really no standard pathway that you can hack. BBIAB with citations.
That’s interesting… I’ve seen a lot of people on the internet saying something actually works for them, but it’s usually something very extreme like keto diet and/or intermittent fasting. I haven’t tried either yet, but I don’t want to resort to these if possible.
I was trying to find all sorts of articles etc but then it would be overwhelming, so i’m gonna say, if you need to read anything, it’s just this one: Training and Diet are Simple Because Your Body is Complex
There are certainly more and less efficient ways for your body to accomplish any particular purpose, and those things certainly matter at elite levels of competition, but it’s easy to over-emphasize the differences and ignore the broad domains where pretty sizable differences in application really just don’t matter all that much for most people, most of the time.
We like to use mechanical analogies to explain our bodies. But, quite simply, those analogies just aren’t very good.
For example, a car needs a very particular type of fuel, it performs equally well until it runs out of fuel but stops functioning completely the moment it runs out, and it only has a single way of accomplishing any purpose (if one part doesn’t function correctly the whole machine stops working, or starts functioning much, much worse).
A car is linear. With a car, cause and effect are easy to unravel.
If you conceptualize your body as a linear system, it becomes much, much easier to get hung up on the details.
In a linear system, a small tweak can be the difference between optimal function and zero function. A small tweak will have predictable downstream consequences.
In a messy, nonlinear system, small tweaks are much less important. Fasted cardio? Eating six meals per day? Post-workout supplement regimens? Finding a magic rep range (that’s the topic of next week’s article)?
It’s not that those things won’t make any difference. It’s just that, if they do make a difference, the difference will probably be very small, since those things are just details, not big-picture items.
In a messy, redundant, nonlinear system, small tweaks generally get lost in the noise.
the other comments you’ve got are all pretty much sensible advice, and try to figure out your best way forward using the state of mind in the article I linked. fwiw that site is very popular for people into strength training, but their advice has been very sensible. your body is optimized to keep you alive - being healthy while you’re alive is pretty much only a bonus. The state of the literature like I mentioned shows the variety of pathways a person can be healthy with - I mean just a couple of months ago, apparently eating ice-cream regularly is probably good for certain types of diabetes (because of how it impacts the blood sugar level). One research (I’m sharing my other forum’s discussion on it, because NYT and gated academic wall) indicates that there seems to be no optimal diet really for our species, based on the various cultures studied; despite the wide range of eating habits (don’t forget the indigenous people near the Arctic basically live off of seal fat), people seem to show the same general range of good health.
ETA: And in this discussion, it’s about the critical baseline flaw in obesity research (and subsequent findings, preliminary or otherwise, that inform the diet and fitness industry). And if there’s one outmoded ‘talking point’ that no one actually takes seriously on the research side, is the idea of Calorie-In-Calorie-Out. Too much contradictory evidence especially since nutrition science honestly really became a thing in the 20th century, it’s only recently we’re getting more proper longitudinal/long-term data from the same groups of people.
Thanks for citing the article! I agree with it honestly because things just differ between people. Out body is just complex and even nutritionists can only speak in general
eating ice-cream is good for diabetes? did the ice-cream makers fund that paper? 😄
lolol see, how that “common sense” bias tripped you up? XD Nutrition Science’s Most Preposterous Result
"Could the idea that ice cream is metabolically protective be true? It would be pretty bonkers. Still, there are at least a few points in its favor. For one, ice cream’s glycemic index, a measure of how rapidly a food boosts blood sugar, is lower than that of brown rice. “There’s this perception that ice cream is unhealthy, but it’s got fat, it’s got protein, it’s got vitamins. It’s better for you than bread,” Mozaffarian said. “Given how horrible the American diet is, it’s very possible that if somebody eats ice cream and eats less starch … it could actually protect against diabetes.”

omg i was typing a long ass comment but accidentally cancelled and now it’s gone. Here I go retyping it.
The commenters here are right, but so are your parents.
Exercise regulates your hormones and keeps your hunger in check. But after exercising, you’re gonna be hungrier than usual. Just make sure you’re eating what you normally do. Drinking more plain water might help prevent overeating.
You’re a woman so you have hormones that make you crave certain types of food. Give in to those cravings, but keep it in moderation - you want to satisfy your craving, not eat a whole meal of them. E.g. if you’re craving chocolate, grab one or two small cubes and eat them slowly. If you’re craving fried chicken, have a couple of wings or a drumstick but not too much more. If you suppress it, you’re gonna stress yourself out which messes up your metabolism or your productivity.
I have a wall of text typed up which I’ll put in a following comment, but you can ignore it because lots of people give diet/exercise advice but you should avoid information overload. Work on yourself little by little and don’t feel obliged to apply every advice in your life right away. You can always come back and re-read later.
The wall of text:
I think you should continue to eat whatever you want like your parents say, but not however much you want. You’re reducing your carb intake which is a good step! It’s much better than completely cutting out carbs because your mind and body are gonna stress out over sudden diet changes.
A very difficult habit you could try to learn is to eat until you’re satisfied, and not until you’re full. If you’d like to start, it will help if you focus purely on eating when you’re having your meals. That means no phones, no work, no TV - anything that causes you to mindlessly put food into your mouth because it makes you lose track of your fullness. You can kinda still do the above, but when you’re performing the action of putting food in your mouth and chewing your food make sure to focus purely on those actions and yourself.
Also learn to be okay with not emptying your plate. It’s a habit a lot of us learn as kids, but we should stop thinking about the kids in Africa because it’s not our fault they’re not getting food. And if you’re worried about the farmers who painstakingly grew our rice, they have more machines that help them these days anyway.
With regards to snacking, obviously you should minimize it, but don’t completely avoid it. Some tips are:
- Snack with a purpose. E.g. you’re nearing your period and you are craving. Snacking because bored should be avoided.
- Drink a bit of plain water first. If you still want to snack after 10 mins, then go ahead.
- Put effort into your snacking. Turn snacking into an action that takes effort. Rather than reaching for a bag of chips, put some in a bowl, slice up a bit of cucumbers to have alongside it. Rather than just having some chocolate, slice up a fruit to have alongside it.
- Remember that it’s still a snack and not a full meal though, so small amounts is enough.
- Focus still applies when snacking - avoid distractions while performing the action of putting food in your mouth.
That’s a new perspective on snacking that I’ve never thought of before. Thanks for the detailed writeup! I definitely got extra stress from trying to restrain myself from snacking. When I’m stressed because of work, my appetite increases a lot but then I know I can’t eat because I need to control my diet, which adds to even more stress.

The easiest way to avoid guilt is to put the leftovers in the fridge, wait 2 weeks, then throw it away. The guilt is spread out across 2 weeks. It’s like paying installments!

If the purpose just to lose weight, I would say go with dieting.
Do exercise when you wanna get in better shape. Saw too many people got demotivated to lose weight because they think they need to exercise and push yourself but I’m the end they feel like eating more because of it.
So I would say focus on the diet first. It’s a process, it’ll take time. Slow and steady also take care yourself too.
Oh dear… I never really thought of it that way. Must be what happened to me during my previous failures. 🤣 But right now I am saving money on food anyway, so it’s much easier to control what I eat. I’m already avoiding excessive outside food by eating dinner at home unless I’m outside.
Back when I was still living with my parents as a student it was much harder to control my desire for food(sry dad mom for wasting your money).
Off to a good start already, cutting down on outside food and also processed food. The less processed it is, much better for you. Can eat food with high water content to make yourself feel more full too.
Does it really affect our bodies that much? I know sleep and stress levels affect cortisol, but I swear there have been times where I got fat due to stress and sometimes I’m stressed but I still got slimmer 😂
yes, cortisol encourages fat to be deposited near abdomen to save them from later. whilst cortisol increase appetite, adrenaline according to my understanding will inhibit appetite. So it’s actually a combination of factors? maybe sometimes one is higher than the others.
so many factors - your mental health, your genes etc may all play a role, in theory.
certain cultures, ie. south asian cultures are also more prone to obesity due to evolution.
Even if I have the urge to eat, I usually just restrict myself so it doesn’t go that bad. So many factors… I think my mental health may also be screwing things up here and there lol
another free and harmless method you can try is portion control. I’ve found that drinking a huge glass of water BEFORE meal, like 30 minutes really help with satiety. The rationale is that the body is pretty bad at distinguishing hunger and thirst. so if you could quench your thirst, you can just focus on the hunger and stop feeding when you are satiated.
i’ve also seen people changing the order they consume food - ie. eating veggies first before consuming meat and rice. You can also try eating lots of veg and meat, but reduce carbs. Brocollis and cauliflowers should be good for this task. lots of “matter” to chew through for essentially zero calories.
it’s a mix of both. I have been doing intermittent fasting for 4-5 years now, i used to be able to lose my weight and maintain it at low -er level. my metabolism has perhaps slowed down and IF is no longer working on its own and I could no longer eat whatever the hell i bloody want. Perhaps try swimming, it’s like the only sports that doesn’t feel like Essesise imo.
Also are you a woman? I’m asking because women can gain weight due to hormonal fluctuations so it’s natural? And if by fatter you mean appearance-wise, could be due to salt retention and what not - try cutting down sodium intake.
Yeah I’m a woman. I hate my hormones so much because they’re been very weird lately. I’m not sure it’s appearance wise or not since I don’t have a scale here.
I can’t do IF because a hungry stomach distracts me from my work
hungry stomach isn’t a huge problem for me, but the fogginess does affect me when it comes to productivity work. If i want shit done i will still have brekkie lol.
Disclaimer: This is not health advice. I’m only describing what I know from chubbyemu’s personal experience.
Always do diet control first. No point burning calories if the intake valve is wide open.
Basic exercise follows. Don’t overdo it at the start. Go slow and steady. Only ramp up when progress plateaued with diet + basic.
Yeah Im doing diet control alright. I’ve definitely reduced my calory/carb intake and it’s been working great. I want to go keto, but I’ll have to prepare for every single meal and it’s inconvenient when I eat with others(some places don’t let you bring your own food)
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.
@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
based on what she mentioned here, most likely not
I see
Yah I busybody only lmao
@cendawanita@monyet.cc @cafe@monyet.cc 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 😆
@cendawanita@monyet.cc @cafe@monyet.cc 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 🤣😌
