The Blogger

Hello! My name is Retno Nindya, and my online nickname is Kappa or Kapkap. I’m from Indonesia and have lived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, since 2014 with my husband and two kids. I’m one of the early generation of the Millennials (1984).

I usually blog about things in my daily life, some commentaries on things I read or watch, a bit of WordPress scattered here and there (I was a Happiness Engineer in Automattic, circa 2019-2024, for APAC time zones), and quite recently, Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

I enjoy and appreciate murder mystery novels, photography, cinema, food history and history itself in general, feminism, culture, and pop culture. I love to draw, although not professionally. You can check my drawings on my Portfolio page. While it’s really easy to put me in a certain label considering how I wear my clothes, I am a straight ally.

I am that kind of person you usually call an “armchair expert”, that is, full of opinions with (sometimes) a lack of data and information other than me being chronically online.

I have strong opinions about genAI and bot-produced content in general, and most of them are closer to “let’s burn this shit down” because I, and everybody else on this Earth, need our drinking water. My current flex right now is that everything here is written and published by me, a human. Expect run-on sentences, manglish, inglish, English with local contexts, multiple edits, and grammatical weirdness. Yes, weird flex, but those techbros just keep digging and bringing humanity’s bar even lower.
