Hey Filipinos, many of us do not have a "colonial mentality." That means we think like we are colonizers: violent, racist and oppressive.

What you actually mean is that we have a "COLONIZED mentality."

PH government agencies warn people about using the popular 90s AI Yearbook app, which uses 8-12 of your photos to generate retro-themed images.

The "photos could be used for malicious purposes, namely, for the fabrication of false identities online, identity theft, data breaches, phishing, sexual exploitation, ransomware attacks, and other forms of malicious activities."

Mastodon is more for micro-blogging like Twitter. If you want photosharing like Instagram, I suggest you use Pixelfed.

Most Japanese still call the platform Twitter. Also...

"In this survey, 18.4% said [the Japanese] were considering leaving [Twitter] at some point in the future, while 25.2% said they had plans to give it up. Asked which alternate platforms they would migrate to, the top answer was Instagram with 40.8%, followed by YouTube at 25.6%."

I tried using Firefox on my Pixel phone but my phone heats up every time I'm browsing on it, so I went back to using the Brave browser.

@vetjet @ceremus @Mair_

Yeah, Firefox Focus is good but I need a browser that remembers my history so I tried out regular Firefox on Android.

Interestingly, regular Firefox does not heat up my old Samsung Galaxy phone, which runs on Android 12. Heating up only happens on my Pixel 6a (Android 13).

Tomatoes in the Ph are now sold for P170/kg ($3/kg). It was just P60-100/kg in July. The country still doesn't have an agriculture minister. There's no need. All is well.

Filipino is an evolving language. (Tagalog too.) The KWF is neither powerful nor influential enough to change the way we learn and re-learn Filipino, so I don't mind what they say so much, unless of course you're an academic or a researcher. They once told us (high school students) to differentiate between "nang" and "ng," then a few years later (university), changed their minds to say to just spell both as "ng."
