Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


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.

Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What smells nice but tastes horrible?

[–] banokyo 8 points 1 year ago

Bar soap. No please don't try to eat it.

Car air fresheners and mothballs

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Everything from Lush

Also, apparently Armie Hammer needs to know this, but yeah people smell nice but taste horrible (PSA: Cannibalistic tendencies are a big boo-boo)

Konting kembot na lang and we're at 1k subscribers.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

It’s actually more of we’ve probably passed it already. You only see how many people from the same instance subscribe to the communities you’re in. Not sure how to check the total (how many are subscribed from all instances) though.

magandang umaga mga ka-plema! kamusta kayo?

gusto ko na ulit magbasa ng libro, anong fave books nyo? lemme.know hehe <3

[–] Periwinkledot 5 points 1 year ago

The Law on Obligations and Contracts
The Law on Income Taxation

I believe these two should be part of Gen. Ed. subjects in college. Mas may pakinabang sa ordinary people than science subjects (lalo na kung hindi naman science ang course mo).

Ang late night thoughts ko ay ang panget ko sa passport ko πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ tapos yung camera pa nila pang dlsr pa pero auto pindot lang. Kinda seems like a waste for its usage, sana magandang quality webcam na lang gamit nila. Ang clunky at heavy pa just to mount it on the side of a wall. It looks out of place.

Malay ko ba Pilipinas. Parang pagod na rin ako, migrate na lang tayo. I've been learning german lately, might be useful in the future πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

To all workers (WFH'ers, digital nomads, normal workers, etc.), students, and anyone who really just wants to have a more chill study/work environment,

I've come across lofi.co, which has a free version, a paid ($2.99) version, which basically offers you more visual stuff to help calm you down.

If you're tired of staring at Lo-Fi girl or Synthwave boy on Newpipe/Vanced and want a change of scenery, this is probably a good way to go. Try it free first, and I'd like also suggestions if anyone knows a few good sites/apps similar to this.

Have a chill evening mga Phlemmings, may we all find that sweet spot of chilness in our respective corners of the globe.

EDIT: Link. Also thanks 8rhn6t6s!

EDIT 2: Apparently you can use playlists from spotify too and you can choose between Jazz, Chill or Sleep themed playlists. Sadly, sound effects are limited to around 3 or 4 with the free version.

[–] 8rhn6t6s 5 points 1 year ago

Fixing your comment since the link is wrong on my end - https://lofi.co/home/

This is from r/OffMyChestPH pleading people not to post screenshots of their posts on their subreddit.

Anon for a reason

It's not anonymous, but rather, pseudonymous.

Fun Fact: Walang safe space sa public Internet.

If you overshare = you are doxxing yourself.

Once you post something on a public forum, regardless if it's Facebook, Reddit, Lemmy, Mastodon, it's outside of your control.

unless you have permission from the op, do not share it in other social media platforms especially fb that has the highest audience.

The average pinoy fb user does not give a f-ck/sh-t about copyright/DMCA, so these f.ckng CTTOs, PTPAs are very commonplace on FB.

Before even bringing up copyright/DMCA, be aware that there are sites (bulletproof hosting) hosted in countries with very loose copyright enforcement that ignore DMCA altogether.

Tip: Do not use your main account when venting about your problems (hence the name "offmychest") or unloading your burdens online. Get something like a throwaway just for that.

Interesting link as it talks about utilizing bots from Mastodon. Might read up on it later and see if we could use that for the_yaya.

Edit: It can't make posts, just reply to existing threads. Damn it!

Good afternoon, peeps.

Originally posted on r/ph a few days ago.

Looking at the "map" (which is weirdly drawn, but on par with everything Barbie), the "nine-dash line" (which is actually eight) is a reach. I think Vietnam overreacted, and don't support any ban in the Philippines, and I'm not even a wumao.

Is it just me or bumilis na lemmy.world? I can clear notifs now and upvote like I used to.

Edit: Pero sa apps sablay pa rin.

[–] inthemiddle 4 points 1 year ago

Sinabi ko from my previous message na kahit na Twitter is getting worse, it won't make me return to FB. Then Meta re-announced Threads again. Ok, I'll consider it.

If I can move from Reddit to Lemmy, I can do it again.

[–] decadentrebel 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know Mark isn't exactly a saint and I want Mastodon/Bluesky to succeed, but I just hate Elon so damn much that I hope this takes off and gives that shithead a rude awakening.

[–] theyawner 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some of Twitter's problems where already there before Jack Dorsey left. And now he's endorsing anti-vaxxer Robert F Kennedy Jr.

Sanay na ako gumamit ng snorkel equipment πŸ˜† kaya pala hirap ako dati kasi panget yung fit, now I understand the concept of sealing and breathing through the mouth shiz. Today practice lang ako but I think next time ready na ako mag snorkel tapos may pa-bangka pa.

I didn't want to go too far away from the shore dahil hindi ako familiar, baka may mangyari pa. But I saw some fishies and they were cute.

Tapos unli kayak ako. It's me and my kayak against the world 😩🀘 I'll wake up early and see how far I can go just around the island tapos may baon na rin ako ng food and water tapos dun na ako mag bbreak sa kayak lol.

I'd say sulit na yung binayad ko considering how long I was out. Na sunburn nga lang yung isang part ng katawan ko na hindi nalagyan ng sunscreen maigi. I did not think that would happen to me.

It was fun 😁 bukas uli~~

What will happen hypothetically, if

#PNPKakampimo
#MKKEqualsK
#KaligtasanNyoSagotKo
#TulongTulongTayo

Imagine na pag-bukas mo ng mastodon.world, saka ang trending dyan ay yung mga nasa itaas.

Context: Philippine National Police-related social media hashtags. You see these hashtags on PNP police station, PNP units' official FB pages.

Become the most popular hashtags on the fediverse?

Ban barbie. We should stand strong together with Vietnam. Show of force for the asean region. πŸ‘Š

[–] Takina_sOldPairTM 5 points 1 year ago

Eh kelangan din ma ban ang pambubully ng CCP sa mga mangingisda at CG naten.

Speaking of radio, I've checked the newly launched Brigada News FM on 105.1 (formerly Q Radio and Crossover) and it shows that there's a 10-15 second delay on its Batangas station on 104.7 during national programs when listening to both stations. At other times, they have different programs and music playlists. During test broadcasts last weekend, there were audio issues with 105.1 since their STL link was switched from the Q Radio studios in Quezon City to the Brigada studio in Makati. The transmitter is in Binangonan.

Finally got the wife to watch Nr. 10 and, as expected, she's just as surprised as I was when I first saw it.

Ewan ko kung gaganahan akong manood ng newest episode ng Geography Now (USA na yung newest upload nila), lalo na't kagagaling ko lang sa call center job ko, being paid to speak with Americans for my entire shift. Pero good thing ngayon is avail kami today kasi nga Independence Day nila.
