Isa ba tayo sa mga top consumers ng Swiftie songs?
Nagbabasa lang ako sa wiki at pansin ko lang na mention ang Philippines sa list ng countries kung san pumapatok ang song. I mean, out of all the countries na pwede mabanggit, tayo ang isa sa 5 na nasa list. Pero di naman included sa world tour ni Taylor lol
Everytime new Taylor Swift’s songs stream on Apple Music and Spotify, burado agad yung mga predecessor na nasa chart, at magse-stay ang mga song niya ng ilang linggo (at minsan pa nga isang buwan).
I’ve never been a fan of Michael V so obviously I’m not going to like this parody. His opinions remind me of the average Filipino internet user na ramblings without much intellect or awareness and reek of privilege. Like his post calling out collectors for not wearing the shoes they buy and just display it. Or those tacky “Ako at ang Ina” series that satirizes internet memes but through the lens of a boomer who don’t get it.
Ang low effort na target ng Starbucks. It hasn’t been a symbol of “prestige” for more than a decade now and most of the gripes regarding those who indulge in it are presumptuous. Pano mo alam na yung bumibili dun clout lang habol? Ang dami dami na mga coffee chains and drinks that are in the same price point as SB. Just because pinipilahan ng marami yung sa Tagaytay, doesn’t mean they want to be “cool” — I don’t think nakakita ako ng drive-thru SB na hindi blockbuster ang pila. St. Charbel, San Fernando, Malolos, West Ave, lahat yan mahaba. Masahol talaga diyan, Tagaytay e. Even the shittiest restaurant there will have tons of patrons, lol.
Big deal kasi yung rating for a seller. May monetary penalty yata. Not really sure. Kaya minsan nakakaawa din lalo na reseller lang karamihan at di nila talaga nainsure yung quality ng paninda nila kasi sealed pa.
Karamihan ng na-enxounter ko automated. Automatic magme-message “Sorry to hear that. Can you change your 1 star to 5 stars?” may sticker pa na malungkot
On a related note, I wish they would start implementing Samsung Pay, Google Pay, and Apple Pay locally soon. Hindi nama-maximize use ng smartwatch if pang-track lang ng exercise.
IMO unless two unlikely allies (webkit and moz) team up against chromium this ain’t gonna do jack best us users can do is move away from using google services and either self hosting everything yourself or use platforms that could be substitutes to said services both at the price of convenience
The logical fallacy here being that, based on that context alone, you should care because you will have something to hide in the future. Saying you have nothing to hide is always used in the context of one’s sense of guilt, or lack thereof, based on past actions. A counterargument would then be to ask why you should be allowed to hide your future wrongs.
For many, the subject has nothing to do with that. It’s about not wanting to be monetized without consent. There’s also benefits in the form of protection against identity theft or social engineering. For others, the simple right to fundamental personal privacy itself is important - it’s about not having all of one’s life’s details on public display.
Also known as “none of your goddamn business.”
As a tangent, because it’s now stuck in my head and needs expression - the more thought you give to the problems introduced by technology that blur or step over this line, the more you realize how much harder it’s becoming to prevent outcomes where privacy is lost.
Only engaging AI under tightly controlled circumstances is one thing; having it in the background perceiving everything you say and do on your desktop is a very different conversation. No matter what assurances are given that your privacy is protected, almost every situation like it that’s arisen since the advent of personal computers has resulted in a loss of control through duplicity, intrusion, sabotage, bad design, or floundering integrity.
Microsoft and Motherboard manufacturers: Putting DRM chips on the motherboard.
User: Why?
Microsoft: No reason.
User: Most businesses would switch to a cheaper toilet paper to save $5, why are you shipping chips and developing software and technology to use these chips.
Microsoft: Oh we’re not going to force anyone to do anything, we just want the ability to. Look at this workaround that we expect 0.015 of our billions of Windows users to use.
