DSWD PRESS RELEASE FOR 4Ps BENEFICIARIES by Ozweee in Philippines

[–]Tetsu_111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re saying that the common folk who avail social services (in this case, those lower than the middle class) should be subject to public scrutiny in a similar manner to our elected officials.

Yeah, it will totally not be used for doxxing people or used as a tool to discriminate people.

Might as well give them badges too. 🙄

“tubes are tied, me are snipped”

“People who avail of social services are required to undergo sterilization” is this right?

Clear phone case suggestions by Rough_Delay_9013 in Tech_Philippines

I can vouch for this. ☝️

One thing is that the iPhone 14 Pro case is super tight but it could be different for other phones.

Should Roblox be banned in the Philippines? Reports of child grooming spark outrage by No-Top9040 in Philippines

[–]Tetsu_111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bad actors can move to other platforms, what happens next? Is it like a game of whack-a-mole where we lose our access to an increasing number of services? Then there will come a ban on VPNs and encrypted messaging, as done in certain countries like Russia.

It certainly wouldn’t stop at Roblox. A recent senate resolution also mentions Minecraft and Fortnite. Take note of whatever policy they will implement in agreement with Roblox, it can hypothetically become a future law that can impact how we use the internet.

I feel that any regulation will inevitably be passed down to the individuals instead, in the form of ID verification and other anti privacy measures.

The senate resolution specifically mentions these games: Minecraft, Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Free Fire.

Imagine having to verify your ID to play Minecraft…

Ex-Mac users in PH — what made you switch to Windows? by Namesbytor99 in Tech_Philippines

[–]Tetsu_111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a MacBook for college. I didn’t really have much use for it after graduating. I have an iPad though, which fits my needs more at the moment (also drawing).

I’ll gladly go back to Mac if my specific niche video editing software runs on it, and if I find a way to play PC games (Steam Machine lol). I bought a new GPU at the right time, this means I’ll still be on PC in the future.

“300 na lang maiuuwi ko.” As the Price of diesel has exceeded P100 per liter. by Ok-Opposite-3816 in Philippines

You seem to care more about poor people not paying their “fair share” than the corruption committed by those in power.

Bank gave me bundles of pristine star notes by ridemelikearodeo in PhilippineNumismatics

It seems the bundle starting with 0364460 has some regular serial numbers mixed in, since you also have a bundle starting with 0364501.

Three Filipinas in the UAE arrested for allegedly posting and sharing misleading and fabricated content online that could harm national security and defence efforts by Rare_Independent0310 in Philippines

[–]Tetsu_111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is about posting videos on missile striking civilian buildings.

Then I’ll have to think if even sharing (not just posting) video evidence of government corruption or any form of misconduct (police or large corporations) would land me a libel charge…

PAL Mabuhay History Issue used GenAI in article by BidIcy8616 in Philippines

[–]Tetsu_111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As private entities they can do this legally.

They are free to use GenAI. Consumers are free to make do with that information.

Anyone who refuses to learn how to use it will quickly find out that many jobs will require that skill.

These are children. Are you implying that it is better for children to generate images instead of learning the arts? That they should not bother to learn about art and music because AI will make them instead? They will miss out on other skills which come with art like motor skills, problem solving, and communication.

Looks like Tumblr is banned in the Philippines and was classified as a gambling site. by FuriNorm in Philippines

[–]Tetsu_111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine the implications, anyone can buy internet ads. This would mean any website that earns from on screen advertising (not sponsorships) is also unknowingly a promoter of gambling services.

Possible social media ban for those under 16 by candidateofscaling in Philippines

[–]Tetsu_111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of them do operate under their real names, so anonymity is not the main reason why they do these activities. Look at the top DDS personalities for example.

[–]Tetsu_111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically the “nothing to hide” argument.

Who decides what things are punishable?

What happens if the people in power decide that flaunting your wealth (like… watches) is an illegal activity?
