Maybe the United States of America can learn from the #Philippines: only one term for the #President.

Storm #Nika / #NikaPH is passing over CAR, and later Region 1. The next local name is: #Oppa / #OppaPH .
J/k. But I hope #PAGASA will list "oppa" next year. For the lulz. ๐๐คฃ
@n_dimension Thank you for sharing! ๐๐ฝ Definitely something to be aware of, especially the third one. ๐
๐ค If a foreigner use any of those, is there a curious or negative reaction? I mean, regardless if the foreigner is a tourist or already living in Australia.
A short public announcement from yours truly, a concerned citizen. There's a foreigner who identified himself as #Thai, roaming around Washington Sycip Park & immediate area in #Makati #Philippines , asking for a fare to #Tagaytay .
He's suspicious because after I gently apologized that I can't help & I was about to suggest to go to the #Thailand embassy, he quickly left. I already reported it to the security in the area.
If there are foreigners stranded for whatever reason, direct them to their embassy or the local authorities. Don't give them money, & don't go with them if they keep on walking. Also look around you.
It's fine to assist foreigners, but don't forget your own safety & security. Not because we're in our own land does it mean we have the advantage.
Share your #culture & #language time!
How do you casually and informally call someone's attention?
Here in the #Philippines, in particular the #Filipino and #Tagalog languages, it's "hoy" / "oi". (The _very_ rude version is "psst" or some bad word.)
Your turn. ๐

Bittersweet endings hold a quiet, yet powerful beauty. Theyโre different from pure sadness, which settles in your heart like a weight. In stories like ยซUncontrollably Fondยป (ยซํจ๋ถ๋ก ์ ํํ๊ฒยป) and ยซMr. Planktonยป (ยซMr. ํ๋ํฌํคยป), we know early on that joy and pain will entwine, but still, we cling to a fragile hopeโthat somehow love will rewrite destiny.
Mr. Plankton doesnโt just remind us of loveโs power, but of lifeโs fragility. It nudges us to forgive, not just others but ourselves, and to embrace every moment. It teaches us to live meaningfully, without regrets, and to leave behind memories that will inspire others to live fully too. Thereโs a humbling reminder in these stories: at the end of our journey, the legacy we leave is a reflection of the love and peace we nurtured within ourselves.
Highly recommended.

@qui_oui Ah. More likely the same!
I'm wondering how it started, and in two differeet networks at that, on different days.
Do people these days just want to be anti-AI because it's trending? ๐
@zoltandulac It's understandable if version a platform or app is using is not that great. But to lump all tools as poor and campaign how those are bad for alt texts, is overboard. I mean, it's just a tool, and a tool can be improved. In addition, those who can read can check and adjust if necessary. If they're not, then it's a user problem not a tool problem.
I'm not defending these tools, but they can help, we just need to learn how to use them. Again, like in Spoutible, they're doing just fine with it.
I don't know, it's just odd to see there's a growing(?) voice against the use of these tools for alt texts. It seems like people just want to be anti-AI or something because it's the trend. *sigh*
@qui_oui I think different, or it branched out. At least for the one I saw, it was about "alt text" too.
Me #watching #ADiscoveryOfWitches : She looks familiar. I know that acting. That smile. Her face. The way she looks pulling you to her.
Me later: Ahh! #TheChoice #WarmBodies #IAmNumberFour ! Of course!
Ok. Back to watching. Up next S01E05!
@zoltandulac @Lottie This is the second time I saw this topic in less than a week (the first was in Bluesky). I can't believe it's an issue. I for one find "AI" generated alt text useful. If I'm not mistaken, the #Spoutible community implemeted it in 1Q of 2024, including creating a summary for threaded posts.
And as mentioned, it's a good first pass.
Now I'm curious, how did this anti-AI alt text started? Who complained about it? What was it they're whining about?
Simply hating technology just because "AI" without understanding how it is used or can be useful, in this case #a11y , is just whining and noise. "Alt text" text don't even qualify under Copyright laws anywhere, so I can't understand why there are people complaining about it being used for alt text.
What did I miss?
I went back to using emojis in display names because I'm getting confused myself where I posted what which. ๐ ๐คฆ๐ฝ

@TheManilaTimes While I prefer a death penalty in this particular case, and unfortunately it was abolished years ago, I think handing down life sentences or seven times 70-year sentences, is actually better.
Most inmates won't give them an easy life. Even in the criminal world, there are things you should never ever cross, and this is one. The inmates will punish them for the rest of their lives, they'll want a death penalty instead.
If we give them a death penalty, assuming it was not abolished, we're only giving these evil people an easy escape, they'll probably welcome it with wide opened arms. Much better that they suffer for the rest of their lives.
Sorry but not sorry. What they did was pure evil.

#30DayMapChallenge ๐บ๏ธ Day 5๏ธโฃ: A journey
Back in 2010, the #OpenStreetMap #Philippines ๐ต๐ญ community held a mapping party in Cavite.ยน To show off the event, I created an animation using the popular #Python OSM party renderยฒ script:
After 14 years, I thought that this would be an excellent animated map to recreate using current #HTML5 technologies. And it looks good!

@tilefan ๐๐ฝ For some reason, after the lockdowns, it was when things started to change. There was Elon/Twitter exodus. Then the Reddit exodus. These two events made a huge impact than all the efforts combined prior to it.
But it's still hard to pinpoint what changed. I mean, media coverage was, I think similar as in the first 10 years, it was always about "Twitter alternative" from mass media. I guess what Elon and Reddit did are the trigger point and not the media coverage of a "Twitter/Reddit alternative"?
@gcvsa True. It's why I'm in favour with Elon doing all he can to "improve" Twitter. ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐ He's driving growth elsewhere!
There are many big and respectable names in the #Fediverse today. I'm curious though, where were you & what were you up to during the first 10 years of the network (2008โ2018)?
Care to share your background & why you jumped into #ActivityPub ?
(feel free to reshare ๐)
I just remembered, last Nov 1 โ besides the 11 black cats I saw while #running โ I also saw a #squirrel high up the trees after my #run. It's rare to see squirrels here in Metropolitan #Manila because it's highly urbanized, and city parks are small.
