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.

Happy work week!

Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What was very popular in 90’s but almost non-existent now?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Betamax/VCRs, CDs, cassettes, rewritable and recordable discs, floppy disks, video game cartridges.

Setting and planning activities for the coming weeks with no instant messaging. Also just visiting your friends' house whenever.

Pupuntahan nyo yung bahay ng kalaro para sunduin, tas tatawagin mo yung pangalan, extended yung huling pantig. Sampol:

pangalan ng kalaro: Erning.

Sisigaw ka sa harap ng bahay: Erniiiiiiii~iing

Crank/prank calling back when landlines were still commonplace

Wallet-sized physical photos.

Di ko alam kung sa school or area lang namin, pero uso before yung studio pics ng barkada. Usually after exams maaga dini-dismiss yung students, so diretso sa mall after and isa yun sa mga madalas puntahan.

I used to store mine in casette tape cases and may mga ilan din akong napuno.

Map of literacy rates per municipality according to the 2020 census. If the vast majority (1508/1634) are above 90% literacy, is it worth it?

Edit: Is it also worth it to post such huge-ass, 1:1,000,000 maps on Lemmy?

Edit: Made it 1:2,000,000 , and added a legend and per-province map.

[–] theyawner 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For a moment I thought it's representing low literacy rates because of all the red.

[–] mr_m00 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, which is why it isn't recommended to use reds often to represent data as it has a negative connotation by default. Source: I do mapping, cartography, and gis work.

[–] yeontura 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But would you recommend blue to red if you wanted to highlight, say, towns which are more Kapampangan speaking?

[–] mr_m00 3 points 1 year ago

I don't recommend it. Generally, you would want to use one hue for low to high values of sequential data but you can use 2 hues to increase contrast (e.g., light blue to dark blue, light yellow to blue). Blue and red are opposing colors and is more used as diverging scales where there are neutral tones (and values) in the middle (e.g., negative values, zero, positive values; blue-pale yellow-red). Here's a nice resource on color schemes, https://colorbrewer2.org

Bwiset na admin fees. Ang mahal na nga movie tickets, padagdag ka pa. Oppenheimer better be worth it!

LieMAX ba? O regular lang?

[–] decadentrebel 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Regular lang. Fake yung iMax print na ipapadala eh.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Damn, I was hoping if tickets are still available by the weekend screening but I couldn't be bothered signing up for their online services.

One Sports just announced they will air the FIFA Women's World Cup, at least for the Philippines matches.

[–] decadentrebel 2 points 1 year ago

Good news for my dad who's into women's football more than the mens. For his sake, they should air the entire WC run regardless if it has the Malditas (or Filipinas as they are now called lol).

lemmy.world status updates didn't show any info on the prolonged downtime that happened earlier. Weird.

What's the difference of teddit.net to tedd.it?

I saw this in lemmy.world frontpage. tedd.it is shutting down.

https://tedd.it/shutdown

[–] theyawner 4 points 1 year ago

TL;DR:

Teddit is an open source software intended as an alternative front-end to reddit. It doesn't use an API (hence why you can only view it), but it still connects to reddit in order to present content. That means reddit can still implement restrictions to the servers hosting teddit.

My main phone (One Plus 6T) would be 5 years old by December. And I still don't feel like replacing it yet. Problem though is that I can't find a good protective case for it now that the current case is slowly falling apart.

Redid the literacy map with @mr_m00 's recommendations. Personally, I don't like using gradients for this; there is not much differentiation between the 90s and the 80s except the kind of green. I would still prefer the rainbow scheme more; at least there is so much color differentiation. I would just reverse the palette like so (although I do admit the blue is too dark to show borders):

(On second thought, the red-blue scheme can be applied here, as this is just percentages)

Nagbalik ang mga daga after so many years. I'm not a fan of poison because they just end up dying somewhere and stinking up the place. I also don't like glue bait since I'm not "man" enough to execute them once trapped.

So, I'm trying a new approach. Just placed an order for an electronic bait after reading up on it and watching videos. Sana effective.

may gumagamit ng YT Music sa phone niyo, hindi ko gets bakit hindi available yung background play kapag napapatugtog ako.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Subscribe to YouTube Premium.

[–] heliosef 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Switching from Spotify Premium to YouTube Premium has been one of the best decisions I've made regarding subscription services.

I have essentially the same music library in YT Music and no more annoying YouTube ads.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

I don't like YT Music’s library management. They're mixing with M/Vs and "proper" songs. Some of their songs are badly compressed, compared to Spotify.

And don't forget, wala pang dedicated curated playlists for PH si YT Music na ironically ang lakas ng YT sa Pinas. Haha

No more ads

You can watch YouTube with no ads by installing uBlock Origin on your desktop browser, or install NewPipe on Android. No Google account needed. Huwag papakain sa sistema ni Gugel.

Best value talaga yung YT premium sa YouTube at Music, kaso yung first impression ko sa service na yan "ay walang background play, balik sa Spotify" mentality. hindi ko gusto May music vid sa may song album, gusto ko lang kanta lang at yung lang.

Ndi ko lang gusto yung algo ng YT sa pagsuggest ng music. Kung tapos na yung custom playlist ko, sobra layo sa vibe yung isasuggest. May playlist pa naman ako for sleeping, tapos bigla dance music πŸ₯΄

Gamitin mo Brave Browser. Pwede background play dun sa YT. Wala pang ad.

Possible ba talagang umabot ng 3M ang paggawa ng logo? Magkano usually budget ng mga companies sa ganun or sa rebranding?

[–] decadentrebel 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, it's possible... and for PAGCOR's purposes, 3M is exactly the money you need for a rebrand given the scale and reach of the corporation. Yun nga lang, that usually applies to a big reputable design firm with a wealth of experience and clientele in their belt. Not some mom-and-pop operating out of a Las Pinas bungalow and without a website.
