Maybe we should stop exporting to China since they're bullying us?

It started as a Roman Catholic observance. Today? It's a cultural & social tradition with an optional religious context.

@AgentKaryo Same! 😁
@AgentKaryo I haven't tried (can't currently).
But re: your (other) topic, I think you're looking for a sandbox MMO or semi-sandbox. Sadly, sandbox MMOs are rare these days (even semi-sandbox). The most we have are in the 1st Gen and 3rd Gen MMOs. Or, MUDs/MUSHes. (AoC looks promising though.)
@[email protected] It's amazing. I mean, the concept of Among Us, if I understood it correctly (I haven't played it 😅), was similar to classic offline games and board games, like Cluedo, yet we didn't shorten it to "sus". 😅 I mean, we din't say "you're sus, I think you're the murderer", yet we did say something like, "bbl, I'll buy a drink" or "gtg, bye".
Among Us really did leave an imprint in cultures and languages.
@[email protected] Ooh! A British expression too and different. In a way, I can relate to the British expression "suss". It's like saying, "silly me, it was that simple".
I'm seeing "sus" used a lot these days but I' m not sure if it means the same way it means in #Filipino .

In Filipino, it's an expression that has existed since the 20th C. It can mean, "dismiss" (an idea/object), "meh", or "frustration". We pronounce it literally as /sus/ (/숫/) (/ᜐᜓᜐ᜔/). It originated from the expression "susmaryosep" which is the shortened form of "Hesus Marya Yosep" (Jesus Mary Joseph).

But I can't find it on Spotify or YouTube Music! I wonder if it's a #Filipino cover?

@[email protected] Good question! Yep, "bagyo" applies to any storm and typhoon. It's only in Philippine English that we have two words for it. 😅
I'm not sure when it happened. But IIRC, back in the 90s, "storm" and "typhoon" were the same. I guess it was part of PAGASA's (Philippine meteorology agency) to make it easier to distinguish what is weak vs powerful "storms"/"typhoons".
Oh, we still don't use "hurricane", it's still reserved for the Western hemisphere.

So, if you're a foreigner visiting the #Philippines for the first time and you hear "po" in pure English sentences, don't ask, "Who is po?" 😜
"Po" is a Tagalog-only word show respect. It's actually overused because we can shiw politeness in different levels, but "po" made it easier and faster to do so. And since it is not easy to show politeness in English the way we Asians do in our native languages, the Tagalog "po" got mixed in to Philippine English sentences.
So, now, one need not think how to change their English sentence to make it polite, just use "po".
Like in, "f*ck you po" or "I hope you die po, thief!". You can be polite while cursing someone in Philippine English. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
- Taglish is code-mixing.
- Singlish is, I can't even remember the proper terminology.
- Kinglish/Konglish is actually a subset of Korean. It's different from Singlish and Taglish.
So many foreigners, and it's understandable, mistake Philippine English as Taglish" Or, how it is supposedly similar to Singlish and/or Kinglish/Konglish.
It is not. Philippine English is pure English. It is a combination of Australian, British, and American English, with Philippine languages and dialects (200+) influences. It also focuses on pronouncing the letters clearly, as it is written, and as "neutral" as possible.
Example: We clearly pronounce "than" and "then". You won't hear us say "other then", you'll hear us pronounce it correctly as "other than".
We also follow what is commonly known as the "Oxford comma".
And when it comes to spelling variations, all are valid, you can freely mix them. Although there are cases wherein a specific use became common. Like, "center vs centre". We don't write, "Can you centre this?" We use "center" for that. But we write, "Can you go to that centre you went to and ask for this?" Which refers to an institution. But we generally pronounce both the same as "sen-ter" (some say "sen-tre" 🤪).
Confused already? That's only the tip of Philippine English. We form our sentences differently too. 🤣
There is also the politeness/respect and formality levels from various Philippine languages and dialects also influenced the way we choose which English words to use and how we construct our sentences. It's not much because English itself is limited and simple, but the influence is there.
Oh, and the overused "po" gets mixed in Philippine English as well. It's the only non-English word that gets mixed in a pure Philippine English sentence (well, sometimes "na" and "ka" too).
- "Good morning po."
- "How are you po?"
- "Yes, po. We're on the way na po." (overused)
- "F*ck you po!" 🤣🤣🤣 (Seriously)
- "How do you like your egg po?"
In Philippine #English, if it's called a "storm" it's "weak" (but can still bring in a lot of rains, rains and wind gusts are separate matters, don't mix the two).

If it's called a "typhoon", it's definitely not a joke.
(P.s. And once again, let me reiterate this: "Philippine English" is a legitimate & recognized variant of English. It is NOT the same as Taglish, Singlish, or Konglish/Kinglish.)

I really can't find how it all started that Filipino Twitter users are migrating to The ATmosphere network. While Facebook users are in Threads (and only few actually activates their fediverse settings despite telling them how).
It's something I'm very curious about because the Philippine SNS / social media space is heavily Facebook + Twitter only for the last 20 years. Yet, somehow, in the latter half of 2024, things started to change.
What is going on?! I want to understand what triggered my kababayan to migrate, or at least, take seriously a "new" platform. And this is despite the fact that most of the people they're following are more likely than not still active in those closed-silo platforms.
The migration isn't huge, like Brazil-huge. But still, it's significant. These are not the usual "let's give it a try" crowd and then they'll disappear. They're actually using Bluesky and Threads!
The challenge is, like in Threads where we have to tell them to turn-on their fediverse set

It's not "Firefox-only" per se, it's CSS. Firefox is fast when it comes to implementing updates that benefits multilingual and Asian support, and Chromium is either slow, implements a small part only, or just ignores it completely.
(aside: Another good example is Ruby annotation. Firefox's implementation of Ruby is up-to-date while Chromium's stuck in 2010.
And this is very very annoying, you have to design for Chromium when it comes to Ruby annotations; or use JavaScript to serve different Ruby codes per browser. Chromium is practically the "modern IE6".)
It's the same with :lang().
In Chromium, you still have to do it like this:
:lang(en-GB), :lang(en-US), :lang(en-AU), :lang(en-NZ), :lang(en-PH) { }
In Firefox you can do it this way:
:lang(en-GB, en-US, en-AU, en-NZ, en-PH) { }
or
:lang("en-GB", "en-US", "en-AU", "en-NZ", "en-PH") { }
Another example, in Chromium:
:lang(ceb-Tglg), :lang(pam-Tglg), :lang(fil-Tglg) { }
:lang(ceb-Hano), :lang(pam-Hano), :lang(fil-Hano) { }
In Firefox:
:lang(\*-Tglg) { }
:lang(\*-Hano) { }
or
:lang("*-Tglg) { }
:lang("*-Hano) { }

The ability to opt-out of quote posts is also currently planned, which makes it that Mastodon’s implementation will not be compatible with other fediverse implementations of quote posting.
Not surprising. Even before ActivityPub was announced, when the #fediverse was still powered by #OStatus, Mastodon was already breaking compatibility. There were countless of heated debates about almost every Mastodon-only "feature" they implemented that all other Fediverse devs were forced to implement.
And here we are with yet another.
I wonder what will supporters of opt-out or anti-quotepost camp will do if the other Fediverse devs ignore this Mastodon-only "feature", and just continue with the common implementation of quote posts? Are we going to see a new reason for "fediblock", and finally fragment the Fediverse network?

And apologies, hashtags are important in the fediverse. \_
Hmm… what I can do next time is to not use inline hashtags, and just have it in a separate line. Thank you for the feedback!

It has been around since 2010, but it goes all the way back if we count its predecessors. It is also an open-source game.
As of this post:
There are already 3 expansions.
The 4th expansion is set to enter beta testing soon.
The 5th expansion is already being developed in parallel.
Give it a try, available in Linux, Windows, and OSX. (Also available via Steam.)

A bit of history based on what I was able to find:
Originally named: Tales of Middle-Earth: The Fourth Age. Set 122 years after the fall of Sauron.
In 2010-11-21, the game setting was changed entirely into a new one. See: https://te4.org/news?page=27
Its predecessor was “Tales of Middle Earth”. See: https://www.t-o-m-e.net
But, that itself is ironic. Koreans are coming to the #Philippines to study, and get away from the very toxic Korean education system. So, in the end, why invite foreign institutions to open a branch in the country, or to own existing ones?
What we should do, like what the West is doing, is go to Korea to observe, participate, and learn from them. Bring that home ourselves, adapt it to our existing #education system and #culture.
If they do want foreign ownership/branches here, then we should invite the Korean institutions. Why? Even Western universities are coming to Korea to learn from their educational system.
It would be foolish to invite Western institutions who themselves are learning from the Korean #education system. We should go directly to the source if we're going to invite foreign schools.
@trashgirlfriend I remembered, #Walkr, a space gamification fitness app, have an option to "boost" steps when you're about to go on a long walk/run/jumping rope session. You can use it once every 24 hours only (and only lasts for 2 hours IIRC).
I think, now that you suggested it, that was maybe their solution to keeping the sensitivity fixed for their game, but giving users a chance to earn more if they're about to engage in a long session.
🤔
@trashgirlfriend Ooh. I like that! It could be a widget too for easy access.
@hornedfiend @schamppu I think the game is set to medium sensitivity, or Low. There are some fitness apps with a sensitivity setting, and if you place it high, it is more accurate. The problem arises if you're just moving your phone, since it's high sensitivity, it counts those as steps. So, most apps have it at medium or Low. That's my guess at least.

That's a new way to explain it, “frame rate”.
Most #scifi that touches on #ParallelWorlds and #TimeTravel use some sort of vibration or frequency. Even in the 90s Japanese #anime entitled #SerialExperimentsLain, it used the Schumann resonance to explain its plot. And of course in #Marvel and #DC they do the same.
But, yeah, I'm not sure either about it. Is there a way to find out which author/writer first thought of this idea? Or, was it based on a real-life theory that scifi authors picked-up independently? Or, was it Star Trek that created this approach?
(And again, that frame rate approach is great. \_)
