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.

This month’s Ask PHlemmy: What is a minor inconvenience that drives you absolutely crazy?

[–] decadentrebel 3 points 5 months ago

Yung lalagyan ng condiments yung pagkain (calamansi with pancit or hot sauce sa pizza) and deciding for everyone when they could just take their own portion and apply it there. As someone who hates putting anything on my food, it pisses me the f off.

having to subscribe to multiple video streaming services just to watch something

[–] decadentrebel 3 points 5 months ago

And then after a month or two, the movie you enjoyed watching and want to see again is no longer available. That's one reason why most people still buy physical media or sail the high seas.

Convenience fees for paying the utility with their own online system.

[–] drawerair 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I avoid those fees. No fee when we use Shopeepay. I hope it'll stay that way.

I always have some Shopee coins. I use the coins when my mom pays our bill on Shopee.

Yung bwisit na update ng Win11 sa taskbar na forever syang nasa bottom ng screen.

As someone used to working on Virtual Machines (VMs), taskbar placement is my way of knowing kung nasa VM ba ko or nasa local PC. Grrr.

[–] drawerair 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm looking forward to the Nba finals. Hope the Mavs will win.

[–] decadentrebel 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Same here, mostly because I've been a Mavs fan since the early 90s. I've witnessed the entirety of the Nowitzki era and the Three Js, and now Luka.

When people assume a certain team has all the advantages and going to curb stomp someone, it usually doesn't work out as they expect. I feel like Dallas is going to have a gameplan for the Celtics spacing and steal a few wins. It's not like they haven't seen a five-out offense before. OKC had one when Giddey sat.

[–] pobautista 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Forgive my ignorance, sino yung Three Js?

Happy cake day, by the way πŸŽ‚

[–] decadentrebel 3 points 4 months ago

Jason Kidd, Jamal Mashburn, and Jimmy Jackson. Disbanded and traded one by one after locker room turmoil caused by Toni Braxton LMAO

[–] decadentrebel 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Welp Dallas. Mukhang malakas talaga ang curse ni Lucky the Leprechaun kay Kyrie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Grabe pala magsumpa Boston. Lol.

[–] pobautista 3 points 4 months ago

Naka 1 year na yata lemmy account ko, pati ang c/philippines. Happy anniversary phlemmies! πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸΎ

[–] k5nn 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

these captchas are getting more and more insane

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

EDIT: attached picture not showing in Lemmy. Kulang pa mastodon to lemmy federation. (Pic was about rivermaya global tour)

@the_yaya

[–] decadentrebel 1 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Ang mahal pala ng .ph domain pag nirerenew. That's the trap I wasn't able to read up on. Not a problem anyway kasi wala ako balak irenew lemmy domain.

This protest was beyond a joke, it's a farce. lol.

[–] atomchoco 2 points 4 months ago

it is so joever

we are products before we are humans πŸ˜₯

[–] drawerair 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Only a few left Reddit due to the thing with the 3rd-party Reddit apps. :(

Don't fret. I'm 1 of those who switched to Lemmy. I've been enjoying Lemmy.

1 possible hurdle to entry is picking an instance. I wanted to say "Just pick any instance." but there are instances with no downvote feature. There are instances without porn. sopuli.xyz is a πŸ‘ general suggestion

I didn't know that the instances are different when I signed up on Lemmy. Someone suggested lemmy.world. I followed him and here I am.

[–] bathalumang_peppa 0 points 4 months ago

Mabilis makalimot ang mga tao.

Same with the current outrage on Microsoft. Parang nakalimutan na agad. Majority will still stay kasi nakasanayan na nila, like drugs πŸ˜‚

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

May naka-try na mag-eBay sanyo from US?

@the_yaya

[–] k5nn 1 points 5 months ago

Anyone here watch michael reeves?

[–] decadentrebel 1 points 4 months ago

Hayyyy Dallas. Better luck next year kaso pahirap ng pahirap sa West so even a playoff slot isn't promised. At kung makabalik naman sila sa Finals tapos Boston pa rin kalaban at andyan pa si Kyrie, wala rin. Feel ko talaga sinayang nila G2 and G3 and this series is a lot closer than the results show, but that's not going to be on the history books.

[–] pobautista 1 points 4 months ago

Sucks to be ignored for a week (and counting) after reaching out about something literally close to home

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

What do you think is happening with uniteam? Kung plano nila pabagsakin ang administration, kaya ba?

@the_yaya

[–] k5nn 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

the team was dead on arrival the moment they won with regards sa kung kaya ba nila pabagsakin yung admin would'nt hold my breath

[–] decadentrebel 1 points 4 months ago

Uniteam was a crock of shit to begin with. Simula pa lang against na mga Duterte dun kay BBM, si Sarah lang talaga "kampi" sa kanya. The funny thing is, Duterte's allies are starting to gravitate towards BBM now like Bato and Bong Go.

I'd keep using xubuntu if it weren't for snap. Man, it pisses me off so much not being to uninstall it without the possibility of breaking something.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I used to use xubuntu on a very old (more than a decade old sony laptop) but an os update broke some of the software I used. Switched to mxlinux (with xfce). More bloated but at least it works out of the box

[–] bathalumang_peppa 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is it with the newest Ubuntu update? Heard that there were some people having a problem with it as well on initial release and had to reinstall the whole OS.

Currently using both Pop OS and Fedora on separate machines and I had no problems with those atm.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

happened during the pandemic. if i recall correctly, it was the update from 20.04 to 22.04.

i want to try Debian next

[–] bathalumang_peppa 0 points 4 months ago

One lesson I learn is to always backup before upgrading the OS kasi there's a possibility talaga na magkaproblema.

Same. Wanted to test out Debian, too, kasi stable daw tsaka even if it's outdated, we can use flatpak naman.
