    dumbfucks at facebook strike again

    all this “you must enable advanced protection” buzz in the email
    when all they wanted you to do was to turn on 2FA
    then I click through their “steps”, which notify me that I already have 2FA :facepalm:
    whyyyyyy send the email thennnnn
    thank you for making me waste 2 minutes facebook
    I spent more time assessing whether the email itself was a phishing scheme, than going through facebook’s steps

    so i was looking up historic covid stat trends in Alameda County and LA County in preparation for my trip to Oakland next weekend, and took a look at Korea’s since last week my family was talking about a spike in Korea

    woa Korea is having an unprecedented surge in February 2022
    cases were 0 for all intents and purposes for the entire duration of the pandemic. Measly surges like “1,000 cases a day” in December 2020 were considered “emergency spikes”
    And then by February 17, 2022 it climbed up to 110,000 cases a day
    I remember family commenting “it’s high because we test so much”
    that can’t be true.. Korea was notorious for testing a ton of people from very early in the pandemic.. if I remember correctly. In contrast, I never got a chance to see a test in LA until March 2021, even though I had been trying to get tested since Fall/Winter 2020.

    I remember having this conversation with a colleague in March 2020
    as we were on our last day in the office

    “i think.. a lot of poor people will die.. leading to labor shortage so corporations won’t find us expendable”
    and then:
    “actually scratch that, it means a lot of poor people will end up with disabilities, more medical debt and other debt resulting out of losing jobs, so we will be even more desperate for poverty wages”

    colleage:

    “great”

    i woke up at 3:15am with this random ass dream that i was giving a public statement at a LA county supervisors meeting in opposition to the agenda item. I don’t ever recall having dreams on such a nerdy topic. So i retold the dream and recorded myself doing it: https://recorder.google.com/share/914294f6-71f5-4aef-aad9-d7c53fcfdf85

    then went back to sleep at 4am

    Mmm what does this event entry mean on Google calendar :yikes: it’s not my birthday. I might have entered a fake day because i consider the birthday an element sometimes used to break 2FA. The calendar app is not letting me tap o nthe thing to see more detailed information.

    Whose calendar is it anyway :yonghuh:

    it does not appear on the desktop computer view of my work calendar, nor my personal calendar
    so it must be.. that i have peoples’ gmail email address entered on my address book
    and some of them entered their birthday and set the privacy setting of that info as public
    and it shows up on my phone
    but not the desktop browser view :yonghuh:
    the only problem: i can’t tap or long press on this to see who it is
    so other than knoiwing that their name starts with “Y”
    this is kinda useless
    i wonder if it’s a deprecated function that android developers forgot to finish erasing

    i think most korean soup is kinda meh
    korean broth
    compared to thai/indian curry-themed things
    i have had some of the soups originating from latin american countries.. and it was even more underwhelming
    to which i think this pozole thing belongs
    :yikes:
    water… meat.. veggies.. heat…
    some concentrates..

    korean broth is like
    “so we have developed this korean civilization for 5,000 years”
    “and this is how much progress y’all made since the invention of fire?”
    “y’all need more CAPITALISM”
    “to accelerate the refinement of calorie consumption culture” :yonghuh:
    “our ancestors would be disappoint”
    “oh wait”

    dude this hinge app
    there are some aspects of its UX that are very polished
    but its voicecall (and i think its videocall) capabilities are ass
    i just had a 1 hour call with a match
    hinge dropped our call like 5 times over 30 minutes
    every time the call drops, i had no idea it happened, and either kept talking or remained in awkward silence trying to think what to bring up
    and only when she calls me again to reconnect do i realize that the call got dropped
    and when i tried to pick up the call it’s a whole another clusterfuck
    hinge is shoving its survey down my throat
    “how did your call go? would you like to learn more about her? thank you for providing your feedback”
    while the hinge voice incoming call is still ringing
    and somewhere in the notifications i think is also a message she sent saying “oh we got dropped”
    amazing
    and when i use my bluetooth headsets for a video call or voice call, the app ignores the bluetooth headset
    seriously
    is this 2008
    how hard was it to implement bluetooth headset support
