    This day shaping up to be a snoozefest… slept at 12MN, woke up at 8AM to eat breakfast, slept again, and now kakagising ko lang ulit… I LOVE IT

    I didn’t go to work today because I knew I wouldn’t function with 4 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours and an emotionally clouded mind.

    Reading Lost Connections made me lose trust on FDA, Watching You Don’t Know Nicotine made me lose trust on WHO, I dunno but the more I delve deeper into Health Science the more I divert to popular opinions, am I getting insane or the world is?, is my beliefs an opinion or a prejudice?, am I overeducated or semiliterate?

      your young, the more you know, the more you realize that the world is not a fairytale.

      take for example yung phone na gamit mo, did it cross to your mind yung components niyan most likely mula sa slave labor ng tsina and those rare minerals from minings like sa africa na pag-aari ng mga warlords.

      heck even democracy. akala mo because its popular among those given voice it is for the best, that’s just illusion.

        yes I’m aware of such malpractices, I also knew malpractices in other industry like porn and fast fashion, In fast fashion I learned a lot of companies are getting labor for less wage in 3rd countries and the proletariats environment is also physically abusive I watched it in “The True Cost”, Age for me is also irrelevant imho

            This is true. You’ll also reach an impasse as you grow older and realize that it’s impossible to be morally and logically consistent. Like supporting that the minimum wage should be higher… but then you pay carpenters or maids what you can afford legally instead of what they deserve because you also have your own bills to worry about.

            Heck, I still watch my sports team despite having an anti-vaxxer/anti-semite and an owner that promotes NFTs and crypto (that actually ended up swindling fans).

              pagdating kasi sa min wage, itaas but also itaas in general yung wage upto mid class, where to get the money? tax the ultra rich.

              it’s unethical, na sa iilan lang yung yaman, na kahit sa kaapoapuhan di na nila kailangan magtrabaho sa grabe ng yaman.

      You’re like some people distrusting Google and other big tech companies but still using their products. It’s okay to have some paranoia after you read some “revelations,” and it wears out over time. I was like this a few years ago, but then realized that life “is too sophisticated.”

      I’m not keen or care of anything what happen to the world anymore like I used to. The Election 2022 was my boiling point. It is a waste of time and energy.

    Google is planning to kill Waze daw as per https://lemmy.world/post/728456

    I don’t know kung medyo dinosaur ako but the last time I used Google Maps, parang calibrated yung directions nya for motorcycle kahit na naka car setting. Pinapadaan nya kame sa isang u-turn slot sa Kalayaan Ave before na motor lang magkakasya.

    Edit: trial and error sa pagedit ng link.

    Edit2: I am sorry fellow Connect users. Legit na dinosaur ako dahil hindi ko maformat yung link to work with the app 😖

    Edit3: I made it work! Yey! I had to access lemmy world sa browser, copy that link instead of using yung link generated ng [Copy Permalink] feature ng Connect app. Though the reason maybe is non-lemmy.world ata yung source ng post. For those curious, eto yung original link: https://feddit.it/post/511442

      I’m much more comfortable with Waze than Google Maps. Kahit na dinala kami ng Waze before on a one way dead-end that made maneuvering out impossible, haha.

        Same. I’m trying to check kung may “Vehicle Details” equivalent sa Maps where you can add the last digit of your plate number and toll pass owned. Either super hidden or baka wala pa.

        We had a (mis)adventure with Waze din na dinala kame sa isang street na may ginaganap na liga ng basketball. Super awkward kasi sya lang talaga yung way out, they had to stop the game and glared at us the whole time. Anyways, dun na-ban ni older sib (the family driver) si mader sa shotgun seat bilang hindi nya nacheck yung journey. Fun times.

    Nakakaaliw lang ang lemmy, nakikita sa comment count pag may nag delete ng comment. As in makikita mo -1 comment. Lumalabas din ang edit kahit hindi ka pa nagefresh ng page.

    Update on using Jerboa v0.0.35 with a Lemmy.world login:

    Not great. I’m experiencing a lot of errors and random(?) app crashes. I’m going to downgrade to v.0.0.34

    Edit: Nope, downgrading doesn’t work either. The app just flat out crashes after a few seconds.

      Weird, parang no issues naman on my end. Not sure lang kung anong version ang jerboa ko, but I assume it’s the latest one

      Edit: I’m apparently in 0.0.36 alpha

        I presume you’re still on v 0.0.34, but you can check that by going to Jerboa settings, then clicking “About”.

        Also, don’t be like me who updated–even though I am aware of the possible issues–just because di ko napigilan mag-miron. Lol!

        As far as I know, so long as you stay logged in (and stay with your current version, and basically don’t do anything like deleting app data), you’re safe–at least for the time being.

            Thanks for that. That gave me an idea of what might be happening on my end–like a version mismatch, I guess? But then again, as far as I know, Lemmy.world logins are having trouble for Jerboa v0.0.35 and above.

            That said, I’m mostly staying put with Thunder for the time being.

        I’ve installed Thunder on my phone just now. I was waxing poetic about how clean and simple Jerboa felt in my reply to someone else just now, but ugh, this is a lot better! Provided I’ve only had it for a few seconds now, though.

        Edit: The swipe right a bit to upvote and swipe left to reply might need a little more getting used to though, lol!

      Yeah the experience on 3rd party apps is better. This is what Reddit fucked up with their API changes. Can’t help but to interject “fuck Spez” here yet again. I’m currently using thunder and it fits what I’m looking for in a lemmy client the most.

        I was thinking of waiting for a while before I go around and give 3rd party apps a good try. But then again, this Lemmy.world vs. Jerboa problem has forced me to accelerate the timeline, sort of.

        I kinda like Jerboa’s aesthetic too. It’s simple and clean. And though some of the UX feels a bit clunky, it’s similar enough to Fedilab that I didn’t really mind it much.

        It’s basically how interacting with comments via Connect that really had me adjusting, lol! Other than that, there’s really not much to get used to.

        I might give Thunder and others a try too. Ang focus ko kasi kagabi is to just have something I can use for mobile, and my fingers are a bit too clumsy to use the mobile site (through a mobile browser).

        This is what Reddit fucked up with their API changes.

        And yeah. Lemmy’s app landscape is already surprisingly varied especially given that it’s just barely a month since it’s got enough users to really warrant a handful of 3rd party apps.

        Edit: Added and clarified some points.

        Did you do it via F-droid? Google Play?

        The errors I’ve seen last night could have very well be due to my set-up in my phone, but yeah, for some reason, Jerboa even refuses to run for long enough for me to log-in after downgrading. I am suspecting it’s because as part of the process of downgrading, Jerboa was uninstalled, and all data related to it was deleted.
