Substack is convenient, but treat it as a distribution tool for your content. Your content should live on an independently owned website, which has a domain name you control and own. This way, you can secure long-term visibility and control over your digital presence on the Internet. #Blogging #Indieweb #SocialMedia #Writing #Substack
My weekly (hopefully) compendium of links to stuff that I found interesting on the web. This week the focus is about "Being on the Internet". #blogging #Indieweb #Links #linkdump #reads #articles
Why the global south is grateful for Deepseek
Deepseek is pretty amazing. I made 22 API calls yesterday and I have spent….$0.005. Granted my use case is extremely simple, just some simple data work, extracting and shuffling data from a csv file to create a directory page on a website. But what would’ve taken me 2x longer copy and pasting, with lots of context switching that would’ve taxed my limited cognitive battery cells, took me only less…
With their continued work with Activity Pub and efforts to integrate wordpress.com websites with the #Fediverse, they’ve effectively enabled me to have my own #Mastodon instance. Most Mastodonians rely on the generous support and donors of server space. Now I can turn my wp.com website into my own instance. A fantastic development!! #wordpress
A reaction to a fascinating essay on Substack about the cultural pressure of "leaving the mother tongue" and adopting other languages for class mobility. I reflect on the dynamics of language use among Malaysian Chinese, where the shame is about not mastering more languages or being slow at learning languages. #Languages #Chinese #Mandarin #Malaysian #SoutheastAsia #LearningChinese
I'm often frustrated by the writing community's misconceptions about AI in writing. I wish more writers were more open to AI's potential in the craft and stop crucifying those who dare to say they use AI. PS: By writing openly about this on English social media, I know I'm inviting attacks (they won't bother reading my article. Their minds are made up.) Stick your head in the sand, if you must, but focus on perfecting your craft instead. That's a better use of your time. #AI #Writing #Fiction
Claude is the "cool kid" of the retail AI services world. However, thanks to its snobbish attitude to some geographical locations, token limitations, and corporate ethos I ended up in the arms of Mistral. Why I use Mistral and why it honestly doesn't matter how great the model is as long as it serves your needs.
Pu Songling’s "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" are more than just ghost stories. They also serve as critiques of Qing Dynasty bureaucracy. With the help of an LLM "literature professor", I explore the deeper insights of "The Haunted House", one of the stories in the 300-year-old collection. #Amreading #Books #Literature #Chinese #Culture
A quick update on what I'm up to these days.

Sometimes the challenge of UX writing is not what to write, but how we write our copy. Here is a case study of how I streamlined the UX copy review process for my team. The aim was to reduce mistakes and cognitive friction in the UX writing and design process. #UXwriting #UXcopy #UIUX #UXwriter
What I learned in Malaysian history class
Malaysian secondary history classes have changed so much, so I am not sure what is being studied now. But during my time, we studied the history of Malaysia (of course), world history, which includes Islamic civilisations, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. We didn’t go in depth with all of them; we just learned their big highlights.The one thing I remembered about the Islamic civilisations,…

A New York Times article about Coral Hart, an indie romance author that generates 200 novels using AI has gotten most of the writing community clutching their pearls. Me? I'm just tired of this cycle of unproductive outrage. #Writing #WritingCommunity #AI #LLMs #CoralHart #Writer
Weekly (hopefully) linkblog featuring articles and blog posts I found online. This issue is about China, tech & being Chinese. #blogging #Indieweb #Links #linkblog #linkdump
