Yikes, I just learned that Nitter, the alternative front-end of Twitter, and all its instances, including xcancel.com, are shut down due to receiving cease and desist letters from X Corp: nitter.net Wayback Machine link: web.archive.org/web/20260825... #Nitter #Twitter #X

I love the @catppuccin.com colour scheme, especially the Mocha flavour and Mauve accent, and I use Arch Linux, so I made this Catppuccin Mocha Mauve Arch Linux desktop wallpaper in Inkscape. #Catppuccin #ArchLinux #wallpapers

Same Catppuccin desktop wallpaper, except without the Arch Linux text.

Just received my first smartwatch, Xiaomi Smart Band 9, which was a free gift from my father's purchase of Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G. I'm wearing it to keep track of my fitness information, so hopefully it helps me to stay healthy.

Yat Tong enjoys car rides, so occasionally my father will drive him around our residential area in the evening after giving him a bath in the afternoon. I like to join them in their mini road trip to observe Yat Tong in our car. 🚗🐕 #DogsOfBluesky

My dog, Yat Tong (Cantonese for 一筒, one of the mahjong tiles), loves to sit down, so he doesn't even need to be trained to do so. 😆 I find Yat Tong especially adorable when he stares upwards while sitting down. 🐶

The mochi mascot of AEON Mall Malaysia is so cute. 🥰 Photo taken on 6 December 2024 in one of the AEON Mall branches in Malaysia.

I love having meals at a local coffee shop and restaurant named The Toast, not only for their quality food and coffee, but also for their coffee cup that greets you "hi" as you enjoy your cup of coffee. 😄☕

In addition to the requirements, I also did the stretch goals of responsive navigation and displaying more posts by clicking “View More”. Doing the stretch goals allowed me to practice and apply the JavaScript knowledge and skills I had learned. (2/2)

I enjoyed building the Pokémon Search App a lot, because not only I got to practice building an app that fetches data from an API, but also my familiarity with Pokémon helped me to quickly identify which data in the API I need for this project. (3/3)
