I wish the #W3C#CSSWG will finish #Ruby so the PITA Chromium-based browsers will finally implement proper Ruby support.
It works well with Firefox, but looks messy with Chromium-based browsers.
Also, anyone following CSS-Ruby are probably aware that there is a serious conflict between CSS-Ruby and HTML-Ruby. There are HTML-Ruby elements deprecated by #HTML5 Working Group, but is important under CSS-Ruby.
The CSS-Ruby should be the one followed, not the deprecation made in HTML5.
I hope someone in @w3c@webi18n can do something about it. It has been like 7 years already?
@NPR Hate to say it but among older #Asians, #groupthink is the norm. No one is allowed or encouraged to think "outside the box" so #voting is futile. Among Japanese (and I suspect other Asian cultures) the party line is "shigata-ga nai" (can't be helped) or, colloquially, "shit happens." #Asians invented, "go along to get along." That's why I've never fit in with other Asians.
The more I think about it, the more I can't deny that the #Philippines is actually the driving force in laying down the path to a "Confederacy of the Philippines, South #Korea, and #Japan".
You see, #China and the #US (and all our neighbours for that matter) are fully aware of the pre-Colonial #history of the what we know today as the Philippines. And if recent wars are any indication, South Korea exist today because of the #Filipino regiment sent there which halted China's advance, take note, against all odds. Not once, not twice, but multiple times. Obviously, China hates it ever happened and how it was well-documented.
The first soldiers who reached what we know today as the DMZ, or demarcation line, between North and South Korea was, well, the Philippine army regiment too. Yes, it was Filipinos who first guarded it and the #USA was very surprised about it!
That is who the pre-Colonial Filipinos were and that is who we really are. We were feared, and you should even to this day.
Another example.
When China closed its doors to the world in pre-Colonial times, it kept one door opened to pre-Colonial Philippines. And whenever #Japanese pirates came to attack the #Chinese merchants, they hired pre-Colonial Filipinos to defend them. It was well-documented as well how pre-Colonial Filipino "navy" chased the Japanese pirates all the way to Japan. So, yes, Japan is aware of who the Filipinos really are.
Even Korea, #Indonesia, #Vietnam, #Brunei (there was no #Malaysia yet). They hired pre-Colonial Filipinos to captain their ships or to protect them from pirates.
China and the US, vying for world dominance, definitely wants to keep the status quo. And why is that? To keep the Filipino people sleeping. Why? Well, you definitely do not want the Filipino people to wake up and reclaim their identity.
And this is where I think China and the US failed: in their desire to keep the status quo, and to sandwich the Philippines in their foolish world dominance desires, the Philippines has already awoken and silently laid down the path to a certain future "by Asians for a democratic #Asia".
I think Korea and Japan saw this hence they were quick to support the Philippines. Not only economically but militarily as well.
Yes, the Philippines is lacking in modern military aspect. Again, status quo. But Korea and Japan have been helping us in this area for years now, and no one bothered about it, thinking it was "small". But you have to see the bigger picture, it's movement and rebalancing. And giving it to a Nation whose people were once feared in Asia-Pacific, and can be feared again, is a very strategic move and a long-term investment.
Some #ASEAN member nations started to notice this shift, and changed tunes recently. (Except Malaysia, they're stubborn.) Though most are still playing "neutral" and because of the useless ASEAN organisation, the change in tunes itself is clearly a signal they've noticed.
Who was brave enough to bring China to the court regarding their silly claim of the "South China Sea"? Only the Philippines. And this was before other nations started to "donate" military assets. Only the Filipino people are brave enough to face China.
You see, everyone knows China has no claim because it was pre-Colonial Filipinos who guarded the "South China Sea" AND "East China Sea" from pirates. The one who has claims over it are, well, the Filipinos. But we won't.
China is afraid to wake up the Filipino people. The US too. Korea and Japan already positioned themselves as true allies who will aid their ally (UNLIKE THE US, fake allies). The other nations in the area are making it appear they are "neutral" but they already know who they will side with.
The "Confederacy of the Philippines, South Korea, and Japan" will not form because of treaties or forced to do it. It is forming because the Philippines is laying down the path and foundation. Because other nations are rallying to the vision of the Filipino people for a true democratic and equal community, by #Asians for Asians.
It already started years ago. No one noticed it. It just happened, and everything naturally follows.
Hi there, I am looking to follow personal #blogs written by #SouthEastAsians, other #Asians, #Africans. Basically not Western. Nothing wrong with the West just that I have a huge RSS feed full of US, UK blogs. I want to diversify my feed.
Apparently, Malaysians like to #blog about 3 things: Food, politics & money 😂
I prefer genuinely personal blogs that are slice of life stuff. If you know of any please recommend to me! 🙏
