Ang mahal na talaga magpurchase ng books

I miss Book Sale (a πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­ used-books store). It’s time for me to look for such a store here.

Yeah. Good old Icheb. I didn’t like what happened to him in Star Trek Picard.

It was a sad day for me. What a waste of story opportunity. In reply to https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/2024/10/10/posts/replies/icheb/

When you hear Christmas songs, what do you feel? #Polls #Christmas #Music #Songs #Survey #Poll [ ] Happiness [ ] Sadness [ ] Nothing [ ] Anger/Disgust

Before Halloween, annoyed. If the song is on a loop, annoyed. Other than that, its okay.

The idea of keeping your work (articles, photos, notes) in one location on the web struck me. I realized that I lost some of mine when services closed over the years (Twitpic, Lockerz, come to mind.)

Content warning: Monkeypox virus in the Philippines; potentially homophobic

WHO can only change the name of the disease ("mpox") but the scientific name of the virus is still "monkeypox virus".

New blog post: Mobile Banking https://roytang.net/2024/08/mobile-banking/ #mobile #tech #banking

I really hope that πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­ financial apps use other modes of authentication besides OTP via SMS. It is hard to receive SMS texts when the mobile signal is spotty (in the province) and also outside of the country.

Threads What is the ISO 3166 country code in small caps that I see in some messages. Is this inserted automatically? How does it work?

They are probably emoji flags that did not display correctly.
