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

I miss Sliders. Yeah, those what-if scenarios are becoming real.
In reply to https://bsky.app/profile/paulcatiang.bsky.social/post/3lwxfsalkjs2e (https://www.frederickcalica.com/?p=3371933)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].

fredcCan 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…

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

(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.

In reply to https://mastodon.world/@jikomayo/114325107183200028 (https://www.frederickcalica.com/?p=3370089)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.
