I have a brother who already has kids, so I am relieved of the perceived obligation.

Back in college, I write code on a notebook and then encode those on a disk during computer lab. Pinagpapasahan yan during breaks.

I just realized the Tagalog word “tsuper” (driver) sounds a lot like the French word “chauffeur.”

@jikomayo@mastodon.world it was borrowed from Spanish “chofer” [1] that was in turn borrowed the French word [2].

Can you teach this old dog new tricks.
(Browsing job listings in my field is depressing.)

Since it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks, how about older tricks instead. This old coder (ie, moi) is thinking of learning an older language, COBOL. Now, where to find some learning materials…

Grammar pet peeves committed by Filipinos:

* in English: using apostrophe S to form plural
* incorrectly using quotation marks to emphasize a word or phrase (use bold, italics, or underline instead)

In your experience, which of these breaks apps/websites the most? (For example, the app freezes or crashes.)

#Polls #Apps #AdBlocking #DuckDuckGo #uBlockOrigin #DataPrivacy #CyberSecurity #Poll #Website #Survey #Surveillance

[ ] Adblock
[ ] uBlock Origin
[ ] Privacy Badger
[ ] DuckDuckGo App Tracking Protection

When a website breaks after an adblock, it is not worth visiting in the first place.

I hate it when politicians rationalize not supporting same sex marriage by falling back on “Well, the Family Code doesn’t allow it.”

We know it’s a barrier. And so we need legitimate political support to change the system to respect LGBT rights. The code isn’t the Constitution!

If the law does not allow it, then change it. It is the job of a legislator, after all: to create new or to amend existing laws to fill the needs of the present.

May naiwan ako sa isang bus. Malabo na yatang ma-claim ko yun. Fine.

I was sad to lose five books previously. Imagine giving up all of them and starting to collect from scratch.
