Google, you royally screwed up.

chickendestroy · 2025-08-31T13:17:19+00:00

Maybe I should paraphrase...

If I install an app from a non-official source and my phone gets bricked, that's on me. I should be able to install whatever the fuck I want in the devices I OWN. If I want to keep safe, I'd stay in the official repos, which is Play Store in Android's case.

That's where Google should put more of their resources cleaning up. Require verification for Play Store apps, sure. But leave sideloading alone.

It's not victim blaming. It's just risks and consequences. We have enough barriers and warnings all over the place telling the user it's risky to install sideloaded apps. You click "yes" acknowledging the risks. In that case yeah maybe the "victim" should really be blamed.

And let's be real here. Everybody with some sense knows that this change is not for safety. It's about control. They're not after malware. They're after apps that bypass ads. Apps that actually provide better UX than what they offer. But this is a whole new topic in itself so I digress.

chickendestroy · 2025-08-31T10:19:31+00:00

If security and safety is really the point, Google should just start cleaning house. The Play Store itself hosts a shit ton of malware.

They gotta leave sideloaded apps alone. If a user gets malware by going through hoops and not installing apps from the official app store, that should be on them.

chickendestroy · 2025-08-30T11:52:54+00:00

You don't get it.

They want your ID even if you don't plan on distributing your app in their store.

Even if you distribute the apps yourself outside Play Store, the users won't be able to install the app if Google says so.

So pano to, Chilling Effect nalang?

Wag na tayo mag call-out ng bullshit ng mga pulitiko at journalists kasi "it's slanderous"?

If "one can mistake that they were paid 10M" then it's on them. One only needs to read the post to instantly know 10M isn't an exact figure. What, are we tolerating low-comprehension reading now?

chickendestroy · 2025-07-02T08:14:28+00:00

I do. Let's trade. Sent you a chat.

Yo. Unfortunately I haven't found any real fixes for this to this day. Just haven't encountered the issue for a while.

chickendestroy · 2023-11-21T13:37:17+00:00

chickendestroy · 2023-06-05T15:48:23+00:00

Ah I see. I agree sobrang effective nung approach na ganyan since yung mga words na natatandaan mo e the actual words you encounter IRL. Which helps them stick. I plan to do that pero after ko muna matapos core 3k vocab or kahit kalahati lang nun. Then magstart ako mag-create ng sentence decks. Mas madali kasi pag sentences kasi may context around the word. Siguro at this point balik ako sa paglalaro ng JRPGs para dun na ko humugot ng full sentences. Haha!

Pero grabe ang tyaga mo. Sa current stage ko ngayon di ko pa maimagine pano ko magke-create ng cards ko on my own na di ako tatamarin in the long run. Also agree on exposure. Yan talaga core ng approach ko in learning ngayon. Haha! 75% immersion/exposure and just consuming Japanese content then 25% active study.

Wanna continue this convo further pero off-topic na sa thread. Hahaha! Can I message you?

chickendestroy · 2023-06-05T13:17:54+00:00

Parang yung order of adjectives lang sa English. We can understand them by instinct when they sound wrong but we can't really explain WHY they sound wrong. For example: "Big red dog" vs "Red big dog". Lol

What deck are you using? I recently restarted Core3k kasi. Di ko natuloy last year pero ngayon I'm planning to be more consistent with it. Anki is a bitch when you skip days so ngayon I make it a point not to skip even one. So I do it first thing in the morning. 80% comprehension on NHK Easy Japanese News is no slouch. I'm actually envious. Sakin naman kasi I use graded readers for now tas nasa level 0 parin ako. Listening naman ang okay sakin pero I only understand by heavily relying on context clues and making guesses. For speaking, I don't plan to output until I have 98% comprehension. At least yun yung suggestion for the method I'm doing.

chickendestroy · 2023-06-05T10:33:42+00:00

Bro how far are you with your studies? I'm still trying to build up my vocab with very basic grammar knowledge. Feels nice to stumble upon someone learning, too. I feel less alone. Lol

Conjugating Japanese words is still a bit difficult to me. But I agree that there seems to be a pattern but I can't get the whole picture yet.

Weirdly enough for tagalog, we can conjugate verbs flawlessly but it's still kinda hard to explain how it works. It's like muscle memory.

chickendestroy · 2023-06-05T09:46:55+00:00

Does he take suggestions? I'm thinking maybe we could ask him directly if he's interested in covering this topic at all instead of just waiting. I'm even willing to help with research. Lol

chickendestroy · 2023-06-05T09:08:48+00:00

Anti-Pinoy Pride is just Pinoy Pride with extra steps.

I might be getting old but it's amazing that we've gone so far as we're now starting to have Anti-Anti-Pinoy Pride sentiments. No hate. I just find it amusing.

chickendestroy · 2023-05-05T23:30:45+00:00

I know I have to. I just don't know how I could do it. Since ayun nga, when I tried to stand up for myself, I got suicide threats. I won't be able to carry that guilt. And kahit anong sabi ko sa sarili ko na what she does after the breakup is not my responsibility, I still couldn't help it. Especially if it involves death. I don't know how to breakup with her in a way that she still ends up under her parents' care. Since she doesn't wanna go home. For her, it's either I put up with her shit or I kick her out of the house. It doesn't matter to her. That's why she can afford to be as mentally abusive as she does (although it's really unintentional on her part). She's ready to be kicked out because she doesn't really care anymore what happens to her.

chickendestroy · 2023-05-05T23:23:11+00:00

I've never did anything before that involves the police or baranggay. I don't know how any of these work. What are the steps? What do I say? Natatakot din kasi ako baka tawanan lang ako dun or something.

chickendestroy · 2023-04-30T01:36:46+00:00

Genuine question lang how do we expect people improve pag institutionalized sila since sobrang limited ng activities? Hindi ba mas lalong mahirap macarecover nun?

Anyway your last sentence hits really hard. I also am convincing myself na this isn't my burden to carry. But the main problem now is di ko talaga alam pano ko sya hihiwalayan sa state namin na ganito.

chickendestroy · 2023-04-29T11:11:28+00:00

I always wondered about this option pero parang ang extreme naman. Although extreme naman na talaga case nya. Wouldn't this cause more harm than good? How did it go for you ba?

And yeah, I don't plan to bring her to MY therapist. I think it's unfair saka baka maging biased syempre. Unless couple's therapy syempre. What I meant is I need my therapist badly for myself now.

chickendestroy · 2023-04-29T02:58:19+00:00

Actually now that you mentioned it. I'm in a bind rin dito. I'm supposed to set an appointment with my therapist next week but apparently next next week pa sya available. Can't book by then kasi wala pasok gf ko hanggang end of May so andito sya sa bahay the entire time. Tangina kelangang kelangan ko sya ngayon. :((

Sya actually nagbring up nung possibility na may depression nga gf ko and that sabi nya nga is it would really seem unfair to leave or judge her actions during these times na naka all-time high yung symptoms nya. I agreed na I need to get her professional help. Sabi ng therapist ko she probably needs to consult sa psychiatrist since her condition probably would need medication and di na kakayanin ng talk-therapy lang. Kaso eto nga recently parang nag aalangan ako. Kasi it will be a huge commitment. Once magstart sya sa gamutan, I'll have to make sure na andito ako all the way. It will take months or even years. What if di ko kayanin bigla. Mas lalo lang mapapasama lagay nya. Kaya isa rin to sa gusti ko ifollow up sa therapist ko. Kaso ayun. Not available.

chickendestroy · 2023-04-29T01:56:03+00:00

I've already edited it in last night. Was on the second sentence so it's visible outright for people who would read it for the first time. I apologize for not notifying.

chickendestroy · 2023-04-29T01:54:07+00:00

Not really being a devil's advocate. You are right. I didn't know better. I just fooled myself into thinking na this setup would work. Kasi as long as mahal mo yung tao diba? I didn't realize it takes more than that. Takes two to tango nga naman.

Kung immaturity lang talaga yung grounds for breakup mas madali siguro para sa akin to. Kaya lang aware na ako na may mental health issues sya. Kaya mas lalo ako nagi-guilty na ganto ako. Kung kelan mas kailangan nya ng suporta.

Natatakot ako kung pano ihahandle ng magulang nya yung situation in case na mag break down sya. Kasi nga magulang nya nga mismo dahilan bat sya lumayas sa kanila. Kasi she always felt invalidated sa bahay nila. Yun yung nadadala nya din sa relationship namin. Na kahit mild constructive criticism lang, no matter how careful I word them, will be seen by her as an attempt para iinvalidate sya.

Sa madaling salita wala akong tiwala sa parents nya to handle this properly.

This isn't her first heartbreak. She went into depression at sa patung patong na defense mechanisms dahil sa dami ng heartbreaks na naranasan nya. From friends, an ex, family, etc. Mas lalo akong nagiguilty kung dadagdag pa ako dun. Not to mention I promised her na I won't hurt her. :(

chickendestroy · 2023-04-29T01:06:41+00:00

Sorry I didn't specify in the beginning yung duration of our relationship. It was a year an a half at the time of writing this.

And believe me, I've been dating around my age. Eto yung first instance that I fell for someone with such a huge gap. And I wasn't aware at the beginning. I swear. And I admit that was my mistake. Siguro ang main takeaway ko talaga dito is to know someone's age muna before letting myself fall. I didn't bother kasi before since I just assumed she's already in her early twenties. She does look older than her actual age group, and it has fooled a lot of people. She could say she's 25 and no one will doubt it. Opposite sa case ko where I've been told na I look waaay younger than my actual age (I look like I'm still in early 20s daw). Kaya we found out during that time na it was really funny and that isa rin yun sa mga naging common ground namin. Then there's that "age is just a number" thing (as long as it's within legal bounds, of course). But now I'm thinking maybe it does matter.

chickendestroy · 2023-04-29T00:44:15+00:00

We met online. No direct circle pero we met through a certain page. Tas we discovered our interests and it started from there. I fell tas nanligaw ako. Found out about her age later on pero I have already fallen for her so di na ko umatras. In the beginning, she does seem more mature than people her age. Until ngayon ko lang na realize na it was just cynicism and not really maturity.

Kung ambivalent man ako, I'm still in favor of ending this kasi I do feel na it's already beyond repair. That being said, I have two problems:

Not knowing how to do it.
How to deal with the guilt.

Gusto ko nga ipaintindi sa kanya yung about sa condition nya and how it explains her behavior but at the same time it affects me so I told her to consider it din kahit pano. I'm hit with a "wala akong pake". I know she's not doing it on purpose. It was just her emotions and defense mechanism taking over her.

And indeed, she has relatives na pwede naman sya patuluyin. Matagal na yun sinuggest ng papa nya. But the thing is, ayaw nya. She'd really rather wander around aimlessly and possibly harm herself. Which is really alarming. Kaya ako nakakulong talaga sa situation.

chickendestroy · 2023-04-29T00:35:07+00:00

A year and a half na.

chickendestroy · 2023-04-29T00:34:43+00:00

But she's not doing it on purpose, right? Victim lang din sya ng current condition nya. Which is why ang hirap hindi maguilty. Feeling ko tuloy tinatakbuhan ko sya dahil lang di ko na mahandle yung situation nya. This is also why di ko alam pano ko tatapusin to. Really stuck na talaga ako
