Honestly, I still passed on some titles as the covers were not visually interesting to me. But there was still quite a lot I had to skip due to costs. This was already an unexpected splurge for me, but I like the idea of supporting local authors.
Medyo mahirap din kasi yung self-imposed standards nila with quality paper and full-colored pages. I wonder if they could have done better in the current internet landscape.
Pick up a light dumbbell and see how long you can hold it. Take a rest and pick a heavier dumbbell and see if you can hold it for as long as you could with the lighter dumbbell.
You can also try and see how far you can walk while holding either the lighter or the heavier dumbbell.
Tried commuting via MRT after 3 years of avoiding public transport and it's surprisingly just about the same experience I had on good days before the pandemic. On a related note, one of the stems on my foldable umbrella finally broke after a decade of use, so now I've a reason to buy a new one.
My average travel time between work and home is usually around 30 minutes. Last night it took 2 hours; nearly an hour trapped at the Santolan U-turn and another from that U-turn to Ortigas. I half-expected the problem to be due to a higher volume of traffic going into Ortigas at the Ortigas flyover, but it was actually caused by an unusual volume at Ortigas ilalim; presumably to take either take a right turn to San Juan, or a U-turn to EDSA's northbound side. It's almost like an ouroboros.
No. It just means Reddit managed to argue for their specific case. And even then they had to spend resources that a Lemmy instance owner might not have.
They don't even need to put malware it seems with how Twinmark Media Enterprise managed to make a business out of disinformation to a point where they were publicly banned by Facebook in 2019.
What's also surprising is that I ended up finding a Linkedin profile of a UP graduate who worked for them circa 2017-2019.
One thing I disliked about reddit is how controversial topics tend to get highly upvoted knee-jerk reactions. They're often low effort and tend to get traction by virtue of being one of early replies to the topic.
It's not as bad here, but that's probably because of fewer users compared to the other site.
I vaguely remember seeing one of the artists' videos on reddit but kinda forgot about him. But last night I stumbled upon this song on a Youtube short and I especially liked the lady singer's voice. It got me looking for the original and what a pleasant surprise.
Kanina habang nag-hihintay sa Edsa inabot na ako ng sobrang lakas ng ulan. Pero parang ang init pa rin. I don't even remember the last time I wore a jacket due to the rain.
It's one of the reasons why I was hesitant trying out a non-federated site. There's a risk that it's just going to be another Voat. Tildes lang yata yung clear sa goal nila about creating a better culture than Reddit.

Goes to show how infrastructure can be caught unprepared for unusual weather patterns. I shudder at the thought of getting a few days of snow here.
What The Fuck. I clicked on the linked Washington Post article on Oil companies hiring TikTok influencers and the opening is about a US-based Filipina lola shilling for Shell.
It may just be one whiny wanker today. But better play safe now than be involved with some corpo roping you in on an anti-piracy suit.

Would be great if they actually tried to understand the underlying issue instead of resorting to knee-jerk reactions.
Others have already pointed it out, but Reddit had to fight a subpoena to reveal users who discussed piracy on their site in 2011 and 2018. And just because everyone else is doing it is not a good argument to justify why this instance should expose themselves to an unnecessary risk.
It's on this site's Legal page.
It's an elephant in the room. It's an unavoidable topic that will eventually need to be addressed at some point.
It's a little funny to imagine them making a scene about leaving and then you see them still active here but with an account from another instance.

Always set boundaries and set a max amount that you're willing to lend (or lose since the risk is always there).
