  • 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.

  • New Maisie Peters album is amazing. Can't think of a bad song at all.

    Now time to plug in some metalcore, lest I go soft. 🀣

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    (a) The personal data is incomplete, outdated, false, or unlawfully obtained;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

    (c) 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.

  • Sleepless man runs amok, gets killed after trying to stab cop

    That headline, lol.

    • Sleepless.

      I'm guessing either something that stopped him from going to sleep has to do. Or meth.

      • The suspect's wife said he hadn’t slept in three days. So we presumed his mental health was affected.

        I've experienced bouts of being awake for more than 36 hours (I think there's even a time I've been awake for 72 hours--my memory of that time is really fuzzy), and I can attest that at such times I'm irritable and yet slow to react at the same time. It's a really strange state of mind to be in.

        I am guessing, just out of my ass, that some kind of mania (a manic episode) is involved.

        Regardless, I hope this incident leads to the man getting the help he needs.

    • Ika nga nila, "anuhin mo na ang lasing, wag lang ang bagong palaging gising."

      I may have had learned the wrong version of the saying. πŸ˜‚

  • No matter how much you prepare yourself for the inevitable, it will not brace you for the sting that comes with seeing it slowly unfold before you. I genuinely thought I’m over this, but I guess not. Heartbreak is starting to feel like an unwanted visitor that won’t leave my fucking house.

    Hay. I’m not even halfway through the week yet, but I already wanna drown myself in alcohol.

  • fyi, may ongoing issues pala sa federation, mga post/comments from lemmy.world to other instances ay di nakikita - https://lemmy.world/post/646742

    • 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 but on the other hand, sadly reinforces the stereotypes about "nerds not having social skills".

  • TIL that orange(fruit) word came first before it was use to describe a color,

    na curious kasi ako bakit redhead tawag at hindi orangehead, so ayun napasearch aq.

  • Cyberpunk 2077 has completely taken over my life over the past few days and I highly recommend it kung naghahanap kayo ng malalaro for the long weekend. πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ
