Which is a bigger flex to say? #Polls #SocialMedia #Survey #Facebook #TikTok #Poll #CyberSecurity #DataPrivacy #Flexing #BigTech [ ] "I'm not on Facebook" [ ] "I'm not on LinkedIn" [ ] "I'm not on TikTok" [ ] "I don't use WhatsApp"

I haven’t been on TikTok. Maybe it’s just me being a hipster. However, I am watching short-form videos from time to time on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.

Loved seeing people’s aurora photos. Unfortunately, I live in the tropics so no sky lights for me. (Actually, that might be really fortunate. 😉) Anyway, here’s a video released almost exactly 14 years ago compiling sped-up videos of Earth from the #ISS, many featuring auroras. https://vimeo.com/32001208 #Auroras #NorthernLights

@seav@en.osm.town unfortunately, it’s cloudy in my area 😔

Sa experience ninyo: Replacing the wire with colorful yarn sa spiral notebooks: for aesthetics or for savings? (May nagpost sa X na sinasadya pala ito dati for aesthetics. Sa amin kasi, sayang yung unused spiral notebook pages. Hahaha)

For convenience. I hate it when the side of my palm rests on the spiral while writing.

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].
