“I’m quitting tech to become a better person and I am not a fan of the show.” Sounds about right. The problem with these things though is that I usually have predictive text off. (It’s a crutch I don’t like it)
Quoted PavelASamsonov's tweet:Try this with tech instead: “I’m quitting tech to become” and then let predictive text decide your new career path.

I had a very long convo with globe customer support via messenger about that unliBB thing (took 3 days because they took so long to respond between messages). Adding new charges to a bill without confirmation should be illegal
Quoted momblogger's tweet:@talk2GLOBE hello. I did not subscribe to amazon Prime. It was a trial period. Pls remove it. Also unliBB. WHY DO you do this ?

Baseless speculation, but I imagine that many of those who dislike criticizing him arent the type of people who understand striving for excellence and wanting better. Quoted nuelleduterte’s tweet:
Why do I keep pointing out Digong and company’s shortcomings? Because people need to know this isn’t, and should never be considered, good leadership. The rest of us are all expected to strive for excellence in our fields and they’re not? Screw that.

02/02/2020 is only a rare palindrome date when we consider all commonly-used date formats. And the only date format preventing more common palindrome dates is the nonsensical MM/DD/YYYY, the favorite of Americans

Streaming some Theros Ranked Draft: https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy
I did one and a half-drafts for this stream, so it went 2 hours again. First draft was terrible, 2nd was much better, but ran out of time to finish it, stopped at 3-1.

Someone commented to me last night asking why my RSS feed includes my twitter content now. Two reactions:
- happy to get confirmation that someone is actually still using my RSS feeds lol
- because this site now archives content from across my social media behavior, the main site feed now includes everything including those twitter content (as notes), photos, links, etc.
If you’re interested only in blog posts or other particular content, there are specific feeds:
- Everything: https://roytang.net/index.xml
- Blog posts only: https://roytang.net/blog/index.xml
- Notes only: https://roytang.net/notes/index.xml
- Photos only: https://roytang.net/photos/index.xml
- Links only: https://roytang.net/links/index.xml
I’ll link to this note from elsewhere on the site. Hope that helps!

Relax, don’t panic. Just remember: Wash your hands. Use face mask. Have your temp checked. Avoid crowded areas. No beso-beso. No to killings. Makibaka. Demand accountability. No to budget cuts for health and disaster management. No to ugly, misogynist, murderer leaders.

I kind of want to know what happened after that glare at the end Quoted KasamangChad’s tweet:
WATCH: PCOO Usec Lorraine Badoy, sinabon ng mga host ng #TheChiefs dahil imbis na sagutin ang rebuttal ng @IBONFoundation, puro panreredtag ang binubula ng bibig nito.

Wow, Duelyst is shutting down: https://duelyst.com/news/farewell-duelyst. I played a few hundred hours of this (Review: https://roytang.net/2017/02/review-duelyst/). Pretty good game, but there’s a big learning curve and each game can take some time. Hope it can come back in some form in the future.

@mlq3 @enjoyGLOBE There is a bandwidth cap depending on your plan (mine is 600gb at P999 i think), speeds get throttled if you go past. There’s also options to buy small data boosts, I used one the one time I exceeded the limit
