Hi @Flipboard

The messaging on your “Do Not Sell My Info” footer link is a bit confusing. ^_^

This paragraph (2nd paragraph) suggests turning it “off”:

> You may opt-out of the sale of your personal information by toggling the button below off (green is on, grey is off).

While this paragraph (5th paragraph) suggests turning it “on”:

> Do not sell or share my personal information / opt out of targeted advertising (If you select On you are asking us not to sell or share your personal information and opting out of targeted advertising)

I'm not sure if it should be “on” or “off”. ^_~

If I may suggest, you can remove the second paragraph, as it is also explained in the 5th paragraph.

Then the 5th paragraph can be reworded to something like:

> Turn on the “do not sell or share my personal information” option. If this option is enabled (green “on”), we will not sell or share your personal information and you are opting-out from targeted advertising. (Default is: off.)

  • I used “turn on” since it's simpler (more understandable to a wider audience; than using words like “enable”/“disable” and “toggling”; also the button is labelled “Off/On”.
  • Since the default is “Off”, it's more appropriate to “Turn it ‘on’”.

If, by any chance, the 2nd paragraph is needed according to your legal team, may I suggest something like:

> You may choose to not allow the sale of your personal information by turning “On” the button below (“On” is color green; “Off” is grey).

  • Also simpler for a wider audience. Especially in countries where English is not a major part of their curriculum.

To all Filipinos, and foreigners planning to live in the Philippines for quite some time, a fair warning: avoid getting a Globe SIM.

Here's why: if ever you lost your phone (theft, etc.) Globe Telecom Inc. will not immediately block your old SIM for the following reasons:

  1. The SIM is STILL RINGING.
  2. You cannot PERFECTLY answer ALL THREE verification questions, which were designed to ensure you'll fail it.

I just went to a Globe store to go through the process because their online agents were heartless and very rude. While the agent in the Globe store was very helpful, and exhausted all possible options, it still was not enough to trigger the “immediate old SIM block” step.

This is after providing the following:

  1. Affidavit of Loss.
  2. 2 government issues IDs.
  3. A selfie with me holding my government issued IDs.
  4. Load amount prior to phone theft. (I even have a screenshot.)
  5. Expiry date of the load prior to theft. (I even have a screenshot.)
  6. That it is attached to a GCash account that is Tier-3 verified. (One GCash account per mobile number.)
  7. I brought all the SIM beds I ever had for the same number. (I always kept the SIM bed whenever I get a new SIM issuance for the same number.)
  8. Provided the numbers I often send SMS and the messages I sent to those numbers.

They also confirmed with me that whoever got my SIM, bought a Globe promo after it was stolen.

But, NO, absolutely nothing whatsoever can trigger the step: Block old SIM.

The only thing they did is escalate the case. However, it will take 3-5 business days to be processed.

They also informed me that it can be declined, too, even after proving my ownership of the SIM beyond any reasonable doubt.

So, yes, that's GLOBE TELECOM INC. for you.

AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS!

Get a SMART or DITO SIM instead.

I don't even know what to do next if it gets declined. Probably go to NTC, which means, I have to go through a hundred processes again, spend money I don't have to get this and that, and still no guarantee.

All I can do right now is continue removing that number from my accounts. Banks are done, already filed requests.

I'm already very tired. Sorry, but I really have to say this: .

Why Telecom Inc. has the worst in history.

  1. They ask verification questions guaranteed to fail.
  2. Their agents are heartless and rude.
  3. They are above the Law of the land.
  4. They don't care about their customers.

Here are the verification questions I was given:
> 1. Can you provide the exact date when your SIM was activated? Ex. March 2023.
>
> 2. What’s the last promo that you purchased before your phone was lost? When did you register it?
>
> 3. What was your remaining load balance before your phone was lost?

All three verification questions are guaranteed to fail.

#1: Can you honestly remember the exact date when your SIM was activated, especially if it has been with you for at least a decade?

#2: Can you honestly remember the last promo you purchased when you did not purchase any promo for the last 5 years?

For the third question, I provided the CORRECT answer, and I even submitted a screenshot taken on April 12th, very recent.

And yet, Globe Telecom Inc.'s agent replied with the following:

> We have to follow the process before we proceed with the deactivation.

> Unfortunately the details you have provided, do not match our record.

> Yes, the details you have provided do not match our records.

> We can only block the number if you were able to provide the correct details we need.

After this, their agent copy-pasted their spiel in a rush to close the chat conversation.

I've worked in the customer service field for 20 years, and I can tell you this is the worst agent and the worst process I've seen and experienced.

  1. Verification questions guaranteed to fail.
  2. Not exploring other avenues of verifications, that actually are logical to ask.
  3. Totally heartless and rude.
  4. A company process. In other words, this is how they were trained.
  5. End the chat conversation as fast as you can.

To the agent, “I deeply apologise for disturbing your sleep and giving you some work to do.”

To Globe Telecom Inc., “Shame on you for having such a process, and yet you continue to claim awards for having the best service.”

EXO's Zhang Lay (张艺兴) vision in #ShowItAll (百分百出品) E05 is very broadminded. Basically, he's promoting that all cultures are equal and we should not force our culture on others.

I wonder if he'll be okay after this. coughPRCcough

EXO Lay's show is really hard for his trainees. They're competing with pro groups. Even if they match with , a “rookie group”, they won't win. Half of UNIS members are pros already. And Lay's girls do need to improve.

Don't get me wrong, Lay's girls (they don't have a name yet) are talented. Also, the purpose of is for them to learn and grow. Just that, it's super tough to match with experienced talents.

I hope to see Lay's girls debut.

@filburutto Yep, different. At least what I've read and the few I understood.

In the Chinese version, I think they used the translation sung by Mandopop singer Zhao Lusi(?), and originally titled “You Are My Light”. I haven't found that version; I'm thinking Zhao's translation cover is also different from PiXXiE's Chinese version?

EDIT: Ahh, found it! Finally appeared on my Spotify. Entitled “You Are My Light” by 赵露思.

Wow, #EXO's & EXO-M's Lay (张艺兴) is very protective of his girl group in #ShowItAll. I also love the concept of the show, inviting big names from other countries, to help hone their local talents.

(You can watch “Show It All” legally via YouTube.)

Shows and games I'm still waiting to see:

  1. Highlander TV. This time, with a serious continuity. The original franchise messed its continuity.

  2. Highlander MMO. It should be a sandbox MMO and there should be three modes: unli-life (subscription); limited permadeath (buy-to-play, or a store item); permadeath or 1-life (free-to-play).

a. Unli-life: Players can resurrect again after they were defeated by a Highlander. However, they resurrect as a new character (for obvious reasons). They only carry with them their previous character's assets, fame, and what not.

b. Limited permadeath. After XX resurrections (similar to unli-life), the last chance is permadeath. A player will have to completely restart. OR, if they don't buy a resu store item, they'll have to completely restart.

c. Permadeath. Players always restart fresh after being defeated by another Highlander. They won't inherit anything from their previous character.

  1. Ultima TV + Films.
  • Ultima 4 should be a TV series. With all the virtues playing an important role (that's the plot anyway).
  • Ultima 5 can be a film.
  • Ultima 6 a TV series.
  • Ultima 7 Part 1 a TV series.
  • Ultima 7 Part 2 a TV series.
  • Ultima 8 a movie.
  1. DragonLance TV + films.
  • TV Season 1 a prequel to War of the Lance.
  • War of the Lance first movie.
  • TV S02, the side-stories during War of the Lance. It complements the first movie, and sets the stage for the second movie.
  • TV S03 + Movie 3.
  • We can also have a Lord Loren Soth spin-off. Which culminates into meeting Mina, which will set the stage for a possible Mina spin-off (and the death of Takhisis).
  • The Knights of Solamnia spin-off. (Web series?)
  • The Blue Lady spin-off (web series? Also a good supplement for the War of the Lance movies.)
  • And so on.
  1. Forgotten Realms
  • TV series for Azure Bonds. S01 to S05.
  • Can have a spin-off series for Curse of the Azure Bonds, focusing on a the unfortunate party. Maybe for 2 seasons only.

#LearningFilipino #MatutoMagFilipino

Two of the members of the new K-pop "idol" group, UNIS / U&iS, are pure Filipino, they are "Elisia" and Gehlee.

But how do you pronounce their names?

If you write their names in Hangul, you can get the pronunciation correctly.

  • Elisia = 엘리시아 = e·li·si·a = eh-lee-si-ah (not e-lai-sha)
  • Gehlee = 젤리 = je·li = je-lee (sounds like jelly)

P.S. Happy Birthday Elisia!

Or, in Filipino, Maligayang Kaarawan Elisia!

  • Maligaya (ma-lee-ga-ya) = happy
  • Kaarawan (ka-ah-ra-wan) = birthday, anniversary

"Maligayang kaarawan", when used in context to refer to a single person, is generally understood as "happy birthday".

@BrikoX

> The ability to opt-out of quote posts is also currently planned, which makes it that Mastodon’s implementation will not be compatible with other fediverse implementations of quote posting.

Not surprising. Even before ActivityPub was announced, when the was still powered by , Mastodon was already breaking compatibility. There were countless of heated debates about almost every Mastodon-only "feature" they implemented that all other Fediverse devs were forced to implement.

And here we are with yet another.

I wonder what will supporters of opt-out or anti-quotepost camp will do if the other Fediverse devs ignore this Mastodon-only "feature", and just continue with the common implementation of quote posts? Are we going to see a new reason for "fediblock", and finally fragment the Fediverse network?

youronlyone,
@youronlyone@c.im avatar

To add, #Fediverse devs should agree and make a stand not to implement any mainline Mastodon-only "feature" related to quote post.

If mainline Mastodon instances and users complain about it, they can just rely on "fediblock" and use this reason: "refused to implement Mastodon-only quote post feature". Sure it will fragment the Fediverse network, but why not? People and the media keeps calling it the "Mastodon network" anyway.

Users who prefer the Fediverse network over the mainline Mastodon network can migrate over to friendlier and sane instances. 😉

But, seriously, we're not yet in May and you can feel the heat even from the electric fan. I just want to soak in a pool or swim to the next island and back.
