      I was just throwing up names around. Dir En Grey had a song called “Decadence” and they were kind of “rebels” in that they weren’t your usual jrock/jpop band.

      This is an old username, I believe it’s from a lyric from a song I liked to listen to a long time ago.

      Superproxy2k6 (one of my favorite songs) + 2019 (when I created my account in RD) = superproxy2k19.

          Yes, but not the pre-packaged bullshit I advertised here on Lemmy. I literally made a pancit canton from scratch, and ofc I bought fresh pancit at mini-palengke nearby. lol

          Oh wait, my username is not PancitCanton.

            I presume that’s from flour, water and other stuff? Damn, that’s hardcore! Also, probably really delicious since it’s freshly made (to cook).

      When I was making my Lemmy username, I was reminded of Oshi No Ko and KonoSuba so I went with the name “Aqua”. As for the “synonym” part, I saw a Red Skull meme saying that the word “synonym” has no synonym - now I know there is actually a synonym for “synonym” (that’s poecilonym)

    What if tanggalin na daw yung night shift dito sa work… actually pabor ang mga tao dito. I guess nobody really wants to do night shift. Heck, I don’t like it either. We just make it bearable.

    Ang weird pala kapag nagpa check up ka sa workplace mo tapos kilala mo lang yung mga people. What if I was diagnosed with a disease tapos may stigma? What if I just want to keep it private? So weird.

      It is tempting to do day shift. But as a nighter, malapit lang kasi work, so night = less traffic at least most of the time. I’m all for 6 am to 3 pm but the lines man, just parang nakakahinayang lang na nagising ka ng maaga para wala kang kasama, which is exactly what a few thousand people also thought at that moment lol.

      Alas, but it is what it is. Do what is best for you, as talagang ymmv whether you want to be a day or night shifter.

      Very tempting din kasi ang shift pay. But do check if your finance can take the hit kapag nawala sya, especially kung sakop mo ng buo yung 10pm-6am.

    Been trying the Lemmy apps that have come out and I like the look and feel of thunder best, at the moment I think I’ll be using this 3rd party app

      It’s also crossplatform so that’s a W for iOS users who technically have just 1-2 options right now since closed yung Mlem.

    I just went on a mini killing spree of cockroaches. Ugh, it was disgusting, but it would’ve been more disgusting if I just let them go. And then I had to clean everything kasi may amoy sila that’s even more annoying i don’t even want to talk about it 😤

    May nag-attempt pa lumipad. You’re not getting away. It was like playing whack-a-mole with my shoe. Feeling ko medyo lumabas yung pent up rage ko in the process. It was still disgusting, plz

    I miss my room, I miss my bed, gusto ko na umuwi. Na-trigger ata yung allergies ko dito.

    Sana cheater nalang jowa ko mas madali pa sanang bumitaw. Hindi kagaya ng ganto na araw araw ako nakakatanggap ng verbal at emotional abuse na parang basahan lang ako tas di ko malaman kung bakit.

      But the thread is about people wanting to get an abortion if they knew the child would have a deformity, not if the child was an accident. Contraceptives are irrelevant in that discussion.

        Couldn’t agree more, we had a same discussion in 12th grade not directly a deformity but indirectly relates to that too, we talk about gene modification in our biology class all agreed to do so if it will make the lives of offspring easier by decreasing the chances of major deadly diseases, abortion is another matter though but If I’m questioned I’ll abort the baby right away and also if I discover that I’ve gene problem that increases risky diseases that is not curable I’ll decide to not have a baby in my entire lifetime, if you remove ethics and moral dilemmas regarding abortion it’s not that bad actually.

        Serious decisions such as those have to be thought out very hard first. I’m for the idea that abortion cannot be used for anything callous or casual, as some freedoms also demand responsibility – I prefer that its utility limited to either a medical emergency, or rape cases.

        I’ve updated Jerboa via F-droid just now. While there’s a warning about my instance being below the supported version, I think I can still use it just fine.

        I might downgrade if I see problems breaking my experience here.

    Does the Data Privacy Act of 2012 have the same powers as the GDPR or CCPA in that it will compel companies and corporations to delete data from users in Philippine territory?

    EDIT: We have the rights to, as per prescribed in the IRR of the Data Privacy Act:

    e. Right to Erasure or Blocking. The data subject shall have the right to suspend, withdraw or order the blocking, removal or destruction of his or her personal data from the personal information controller’s filing system.

    1. This right may be exercised upon discovery and substantial proof of any of the following:

    (a) The personal data is incomplete, outdated, false, or unlawfully obtained;

    (b) The personal data is being used for purpose not authorized by the data subject;

    © The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected;

    (d) The data subject withdraws consent or objects to the processing, and there is no other legal ground or overriding legitimate interest for the processing;

    (e) The personal data concerns private information that is prejudicial to data subject, unless justified by freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press or otherwise authorized;

    (f) The processing is unlawful;

    (g) The personal information controller or personal information processor violated the rights of the data subject.

      PH companies can delete data from their database. The irony here is that you need to submit rigorous documents to them, and it will take them 30 days tops to delete your data.

      I requested GCash to delete my former account linked to my old, forgotten mobile number last year, and yes they deleted “some of it”. I say some of it, kasi under sila sa AMLC na dapat may data retention ang mga deleted account minimum of five years, ten is max. ePhilID (or any valid ID) former mobile number, at letter need nila. I dunno kung ganito pa rin ngayon.

      Tried requesting data deletion sa Shopee, but they need interview or video chat. Wtf? This was a year ago.

      I’m more than willing to give the developers and contributors a lot of leeway given that I’m convinced that Lemmy (and Kbin for that matter) is woefully unprepared to deal with the flood of users from Reddit and everything that it entails, such as more activity overwhelming not just servers, but also the infrastructure itself.

      I’m also severely small-brained to understand a lot of the technical discussion in the thread you’ve linked, but one of the links in that thread lead me to this interesting discussion.

      While that kind of drama isn’t really productive (I’d rather that the devs, contributors, instance admins and anyone else in the larger discussion about Lemmy and its infrastructure happening all around us), it’s entertaining to watch and sadly, just reinforces the stereotypes about “nerds not having social skills”.
