Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

I'm interested in knowing what you guys are using to access this community, whether or not it's via mobile phone or via laptop or desktop.

If accessing via a laptop or a desktop, what is your OS? Windows, MacOS, or Linux? And if Linux, what distro are you using?

If accessing via a mobile device, you can add in some details about the app you are using or if you're using it via a mobile browser.

Of course, you guys can add more details.

Just to provide a bit of a background behind the question: I've had this preconception that the ones here are among the more technologically-inclined (whatever that means), and thus, I'm curious about the make-up of devices and software used to access and interact with this community.

UPDATE:

As promised, here's a link to the compiled data (with some rudimentary stats). I will be adding more onto them this weekend (if more replies come in).

First of all, thank you to all who've responded. While my preconceptions haven't been shattered, I'm also pleasantly surprised to find out non-techies, refugees from Reddit, who have jumped in to the Threadiverse despite it all. I dunno if that's indicative of the dumpster fire that is Reddit right now, or the tenacity of those who've sought refuge here. Maybe both.

I will be expanding on my thoughts, and others, on a separate reply.

nasira ko dati yung pc namin na may importanteng files nung ininstallan ko ng qubes os simula nun pinagbawalan nako mag kalikot kalikot

Dude, tapang mo ah! Lol! Saka lang ako nag-umpisang-magkakalikot sa PC (and laptop) nung nagkaroon na ako ng PC na ako lang ang gumagamit. Takot din kasi ako na baka may mawalang files eh (tho it's just me and my brother using the PC before).

WINDOWS IS TOO RESTRICTING

I find it weird that other people think Linux is the one that is restricted--well, not that weird considering that a lot of the software people are used to using (Photoshop, MS Word) etc, aren't available in Linux, but IDK, main driving a Linux distro since late 2019 has done nothing but destroy this "Linux is restricting!" view that I also used to share with others.

alam ko may open-source na Windows OS nakalimutan ko lang ang pangalan atsaka nung last na ginamit ko yung open-source na windows

Wth is this unicorn? This is kinda interesting, I wonder what Microsoft thought about this.

All in all, we are both confirming the stereotype I've had coming in, lol! Langya! 🤣
