Gen Z daw doesn’t like using capitalization. Personally sumasakit ulo ko kapag lahat lowercase. Feeling ko kaya ko na mang-identify kung gen z sila base sa typings pa lang, and that’s exactly why I don’t engage. Yung kapatid ko lang ang tanggap ko sa ganyan, kasi wala eh, kapatid ko siya.
Especially if it’s a whole ass paragraph tapos wala talagang capitalization. Parang ayaw ko na basahin yung post for that sole reason alone.
Tapos kapag nakakita ako ng pa-survey or formal-ish document / interaction or whatnot and may pa-cute emojis na biglang naka-singit. Napapa da fuq is that ako. Tanggalin mo nga yan. I’m all for cute emojis tho, paki-lugar lang lol.
Is it a petty pet peeve? Maybe. Siguro tumatanda na nga ako. sigh
using non-capitalizing words started when deadmau5 was huge back in mid-2000s until mid-2010s.
dunno, i get influence by him with these lowercase typings. it’s not really a generational thing. somehow, nasa default smartphone keyboard rin ang rason.
ako naman, si ee cummings. who not only avoided capitalization, but also apostrophes. kaya andami kong comments na grammatically incorrect (eg s vs 's).
also not a gen z.
mas icky sa akin yung pinipilit gumamit ng fancy words kahit hindi akma sa gusto iparating.
sa mga nagpopost ng videos, baka pwede idaan sa piped or one of the invidious instances instead na youtube link. example: palitan ng yewtu.be and youtu.be sa url. would really appreciate this, nagtatry kasi ako iwasan ang youtube.
sa comments kasi, i can copy the video url and edit it after pasting sa safari. pero sa post, i cant copy the url, nago-automatic play sa youtube.
(hindi ko napapansin kapag nasa android ako because of newpipe. am trying out ios apps at the moment and unfortunately, walang newpipe equivalent)
maraming salamat.
alam ko may community bot na nagre-reply sa post para bigay yun alternative piped link
TIL Windows can install apps with just command prompts using winget
Ang tagal ko na gumagamit ng Windows, ngayon ko lang nalaman. lol
It’s default software on Windows 10/Windows 11 22H2. I started using it once they made it available on Github a couple years back and it’s pretty neat. You can upgrade your apps with just winget upgrade --all, search if an app is available on their pseudo-repository with winget search <app name>. You can also export/import a list of your installed applications if you say, want to make an easy migration from system to another.
This is pretty neat. Probably a safer and secure way to install applications, just like I initially did with Linux Mint earlier this year.
Only difference though is that the installers for software not on the MS Store are pulled from their respective sites. So there may still be a small risk if the site hosting the installer has been compromised.
