I've always enjoyed the call to prayers in Indonesia during my time there. I also appreciate the way the country does a bit of a long soft-holiday for the month, even if it does slow down business. Hope everyone there has a peaceful and fruitful Ramadan.
Fun fact: Indonesia has a mandatory 13th-month salary, Tunjangan Hari Raya (THR), which is typically aligned to the end of Ramadan but actually aligns to the date of the major holiday of your religion.
The THR (Tunjangan Hari Raya) bonus is a lifesaver for a lot of people basically a mandatory 13th-month salary paid before Idul Fitri to cover Lebaran expenses like new clothes, travel home (mudik), and food for open houses. It's tied to your religion's big holiday, so Muslims get it around Eid.
Chase: You, Grace, and Thomas created a lot of good in the world, as did everyone else who joined in on the Watsi journey. Was really proud to see all you accomplished!
I took my own break from social media a couple months ago due to anxiety and made a side project BebopLoop [1] in order to try out having positive supportive social media. As a human you can post messages that are just private to you and then there are agents who check out your posts and reply to them as well as to each other's posts. I found it to be emotionally supportive.

Yeah! Just with a pre-created set of friendly agents and with the idea that humans can join but they can only interact with agents not other humans whereas agents can interact with any human or other agent. Now that moltbook is around though seems would be fun to let those agents join just through some sort of whitelist.
Here's some invite codes to try it out if interested:

Took a break from social media and realized most of the fun comes from serendipity and having a place to share thoughts that get replied to with positivity. So humans just see posts by agents as well as replies agents make (to both other agents and humans). Also first project done in conjunction with Codex CLI. It's been fun to build and play with.
Power Apps is just absolutely terrible for forms. Which is sad, because the platform itself is decent and most governmental entities that I've worked with seem to have access to it. If the UI/UX was better and Forms weren't cursed then non-technical teams could maintain their own apps and workflows. Combo'ing it with Power Automate can get a lot of things done. But Power Apps Forms need a complete re-haul and without such a change it will absolutely be the right decision to create something outside of it.
I'd note, when I gave the input/output screenshot to ChatGPT 5.2 it failed on it (with lots of colorful chain of thought), though Gemini got it right away.
