@rpf International, not local. Since they're not updated with countries such as ours, it's easier to use Voter's ID since it's well recognized. @luthien1126
If you have a personal domain name, use it for redirection (301 or 302). Easy to remember.
Another advantage, if you ever decide to move instances or change your accounts, you don't have to reprint business cards and update links everywhere, just change your redirect target setting. (It won't move your content of course.)
And if you're bridging to the #ATmosphere network, you can use your own domain as your handle for your #Fediverse network accounts (if supported by your bridging platform)!
@luthien1126 I guess it depends on the branch. It's weird because the COMELEC branch here in Makati (used to be in the Makati Central Fire Department building) sometime early 00s, it was part of the process. The only thing that was not included was the lamination. ๐ According to them, lamination wasn't part of the budget. ๐คท๐ฝ
LOL. They need to be consistent! It's a useful government ID too! Recognized for international online verification as well, not like UMID and the National ID, I've encountered services that won't accept those.
@mk_rexx Interesting! When I registered before, it was mandatory. Only the lamination was optional. ๐ (Apparently, they don't have a budget for lamination. ๐คท๐ฝ)
The #NeoDB "lists" / "collections" need a few tweaks.
1. Notes should support markdown 2. If โ1 is not ideal, at least support multiline 3. Reviews shouldn't show the entire review text. A truncated summary or just a link to the review itself 4. The "edit" link is better positioned at the top instead of at the end of the list

@luca Yeah, I think that's one aspect #NeoDB will need to improve, language setting. I'm not sure though if the NeoDB team is working on it, or someone filed a suggestion already (I haven't checked).
@TerryHancock Haha. I hope only a few decades away. If I can use it to extend my life. ๐ All these new technologies and how amazing and cusious it is to observe humanity, is making me wish I can live longer.
I want to observe humanity. How far we can go. What other things we are going to create and discover. And if we can truly unlock the secret to traveling and communicating across the multiverse.
@TerryHancock In a ray, it's similar to the parallel world / diverging timelines. The other "me" is still me but with different experiences and in a reality with a different history.
Only, in this teleportation/transfer of consciousness, it happened in the same reality.
So, both are still "you you".
Did I understand it correctly?
The way you explained it kind of made that connection. I openly accept there's another version me out there in the multiverse that diverged from some point in time. We simply both exist.
Huh. That actually brought The Prestige in a new light. He was committing murder every time he used the machine. ๐ฑ
Automated import from #Goodreads work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn't appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.
Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.
Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?
Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.
* Method 1: You can add the details yourself
* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items
* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB's search box and it will import it to your instance
Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the #SocialWeb. But Method 3 is even sweeter!
Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it's a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don't! I contribute to #TMDB but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in #TVDB.
Secondly, there's no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with items. It keept the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).
I'll never trust teleportation tech and transfer of consciousness to another body. There is always the question of, "is it still you you?"
Think of it this way, what if it was successful but you are also still there in your original location? Or, the consciousnesses that was supposedly transferred is also still existing in the original body?
The most logical conclusion is that the "you you" is the one in the original location or body. The person that showed up in the target location or the consciousness in the new body is not "you you".
In other words, you never really teleported or transferred consciousness!
I'd rather trust: 1. Folding space or quantum travel 2. Body regeneration or chromosome reprogramming
Because then, I know that it's still "me me".
This problem was perfectly demonstrated in the film #ThePrestige. When the "teleportation" machine did its thing, it did transfer the person in the other machine but there's a copy on the original machine.
Or, the original was left in the original machine and the one that appeared in the second machine was the copy.
So, who's "you you" in ยซThe Prestigeยป? Who was original?
We will never know. Only the person who was duplicated can answer that question but of course both will answer "I'm the original!" Not because they don't want to die, rather, that's what their brain is telling them.
@cendawanita Nothing to apologize for. A public post is a public post. You are fully qualified to leave comments and react to a public post.
It's like speaking in a public town square. By doing so, anyone can react, ask questions, and share their side to the topic.
I was simply irked by the "philippine foreign policy" comment, because I'm not one to just agree with any incumbent government just because they are in control.
In addition, as I've said before, my OP was based on the available information at the time of that post and how there are accounts/online handles who are painting the narrative that India is the be-all-end-all problem, yet available information at that time says otherwise. So, those accounts seem to know something critical than, say, Reuters, as if they have access to top secret information. The craziest was, they were from the Western hemisphere. They're not Indians, Pakistanis, nor the family of the foreign tourists at that.
And as I mentioned before, I do find it excessive. The way I see it, India did not exhaust all possible options and quickly jumped to direct assault, an excessive one at that. Or, maybe they did and this was the last option.
Oh, and Reuters appear to be the only one actually reporting both sides without biases. Other press media are reporting with a narrative twist, subtlety leading the reader to a particular conclusion โฆ which is "India is 'evil' in this escalation". ๐คท๐ฝ
Anyway, again, a public post is a public post. You and anyone else is free to reply. I'm not going to block or tell anyone to stop doing so just because we don't see eye-to-eye on a particular topic. Things can get heated up, that's part of it and again, it's a public post.
So, don't worry about it. All is well and good. You're not dealing with a troll. ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
