Because there must be bugs. It’s a feature. ^_~

> 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 #fediverse was still powered by #OStatus, 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?

@slazer2au Apologies! In any case, updated and moved the inline tags down.

@vasus It is!

And apologies, hashtags are important in the fediverse. ^_

Hmm… what I can do next time is to not use inline hashtags, and just have it in a separate line. Thank you for the feedback!

But, that itself is ironic. Koreans are coming to the #Philippines to study, and get away from the very toxic Korean education system. So, in the end, why invite foreign institutions to open a branch in the country, or to own existing ones?

What we should do, like what the West is doing, is go to Korea to observe, participate, and learn from them. Bring that home ourselves, adapt it to our existing #education system and #culture.

If they do want foreign ownership/branches here, then we should invite the Korean institutions. Why? Even Western universities are coming to Korea to learn from their educational system.

It would be foolish to invite Western institutions who themselves are learning from the Korean #education system. We should go directly to the source if we’re going to invite foreign schools.

@trashgirlfriend I remembered, #Walkr, a space gamification fitness app, have an option to “boost” steps when you’re about to go on a long walk/run/jumping rope session. You can use it once every 24 hours only (and only lasts for 2 hours IIRC).

I think, now that you suggested it, that was maybe their solution to keeping the sensitivity fixed for their game, but giving users a chance to earn more if they’re about to engage in a long session.

🤔

@trashgirlfriend Ooh. I like that! It could be a widget too for easy access.

@hornedfiend @schamppu I think the game is set to medium sensitivity, or Low. There are some fitness apps with a sensitivity setting, and if you place it high, it is more accurate. The problem arises if you’re just moving your phone, since it’s high sensitivity, it counts those as steps. So, most apps have it at medium or Low. That’s my guess at least.

That’s a new way to explain it, “frame rate”.

Most #scifi that touches on #ParallelWorlds and #TimeTravel use some sort of vibration or frequency. Even in the 90s Japanese #anime entitled #SerialExperimentsLain, it used the Schumann resonance to explain its plot. And of course in #Marvel and #DC they do the same.

But, yeah, I’m not sure either about it. Is there a way to find out which author/writer first thought of this idea? Or, was it based on a real-life theory that scifi authors picked-up independently? Or, was it Star Trek that created this approach?

(And again, that frame rate approach is great. ^_)

@sub_ Yep, I’m using #Exult. I find it easier than regular #DOSBox. I used the files installed by GOG for Exult Linux. And true, I like the QoL features they added!

@Lunar Ahh! Fable, Fallout, and Witcher! I miss those too. Hmm, I think they’re on winter sale, I might be able to grab them as well. ^_;;

@Lunar You too! ^_

@evelyn @rom @heliosef

Yep, it is weird. There are strict guidelines for franchises. Sadly, I can’t find it anymore. But, it makes sense as an explanation why some stores have small chicken (like last week, a certain store along Kalaw their chicken obviously came from a small breed; not the big breed Jollibee is known for); even though there isn’t a reported chicken supply problem this year.

Or maybe, franchises have an option to order the big or small chicken breed from JFC? The small chicken breed is cheaper? But still, it’s a question why JFC doesn’t have the same breed of chicken across all stores in the Philippines, or even within NCR.

Like what I mentioned earlier, minsan na lang ako kumain sa labas, maliit na manok pa yung sa branch na 'yun.

@seav Ahh! That’s cool. I think a user can assume if there’s no tag, it’s either a franchise store or not yet updated.

I’ll start asking the stores when I visit them and add the information. ^_

@rom @heliosef

@rom @heliosef

Although I’m not sure if there’s any legal issues in doing that?

Maybe it’s fine to track which ones are franchise stores, and then store the information in #OpenStreetMap. But I’m not sure when it comes to if the branch’s chicken is big or small. ^_;;

@rom @heliosef

That I’m not sure. I only recalled reading how franchise stores basically have more freedom, and they have an option to choose their own source (for example chicken) as long as they use the same recipe and pass HQ’s quality tests.

Since then, whenever the chicken is smaller, I assume it’s a franchise store that decided to source independently. Because the ones that come directly from JFC are from big chickens.

I guess the best way is to ask.

Hmm… that gave me an idea, track and mark branches that are franchises and have small chickens. ^_;;

@heliosef Ito? https://twitter.com/kippschickenph

Haha, I will try it! ^_

@heliosef Ganito siya lumabas (attached screenshot).

But, yeah, mamantika nga. Ginagawa ko, lagyan gravy.

Although if there are more options, Uncle John’s chicken and KFC Philippines chicken are better.

Uncle John’s chicken, it’s crispier, less grease, and consistently big. Sa Jollibee, if it’s a franchise store it’s small; but if it’s handled by JFC itself, it’s big.

While the chicken of KFC Philippines is soft and tastier, on the medium size.

Hmm… Mang Inasal too? Still, I’ll pick Uncle John’s or KFC Philippines over Jollibee and Mang Inasal.

#Philippines

@heliosef @the_yaya

No! Hahahaha.

Jollibee Chicken Joy is better than Chicken McDo. (At least those produced here in the Philippines.)
