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 was the reason you ended your last job?

[–] decadentrebel 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My resignation coincidentally happened about a week after my boss asked me to make an action plan to address my absences from diabetes-related issues. That deeply offended me.

But the real reason is I just couldn't hack the daily commutes anymore. Waking up at 5am just so I could get to work at 8 and ensure I leave by 5pm, only for it to not matter much because the trip home is another 2.5-3hrs. When you do get to the apartment, you still have to prepare and cook a meal, take down the laundry, and wash the dishes.

Then there's the fact that it's hard to breathe inside a packed e-jeepney and the constant power interruptions in the MRT. My anxiety is always on alert mode sandwiched with so many people and worrying that at any time, the lights and aircon will die, and smoke will come billowing out.

Yeah, I hated commuting too.

Almost a decade ago, I decided I didn't want to spend at least 20 hours every week of my life anymore on commutes and preparing for them. So I moved out of the house and lived in places where I can walk to and from work.

It's one of the better decisions I've made in my life. That's roughly 400 full 24-hour days I didn't have to spend on the road and the downsides that came with it.

[–] heliosef 3 points 2 years ago

The senior management team was in all sorts of disarray and I disagreed with the strategies and general direction they were guiding the company in.

The last straw was I had a couple of direct reports who took on additional roles and were promised compensation increases and promotions that they didn't deliver.

Those weren't just minor additional roles. They both took on project management roles when the company really needed them. And to keep stringing them along only to be told at the end after months that they wouldn't be able to deliver was something I couldn't take anymore.

Shifting career ehe

[–] a_tree_with_5_branch 2 points 2 years ago

about to... job cuts... though i volunteered naman..

[–] cottonmon 2 points 2 years ago

Got pirated by one of the subsidiaries in the conglomerate.

[–] 8rhn6t6s 2 points 2 years ago

WFH ung current job eh hahaha vs old company na may plans mag RTO

[–] 65gmexl3 1 points 2 years ago

pandemic hit

[–] asunaspersonalasst 1 points 2 years ago

Terrible place to be. Getting shouted at by a total stranger is really an unpleasant experience.

[–] ako946659661 1 points 2 years ago

My manager said that my above average rating was a mistake and I should be grateful for the 3% increase that they have granted me. This was after I finished a 3month feature to just 6weeks (OTY of course).

[–] sparkle 1 points 2 years ago

I got tired of the work. Paulit-ulit na lang.

[–] rman0159 1 points 2 years ago

I pursued my master's degree after leaving my last job. Also, the reason why I left because of cost-cutting and lower pay.

[–] decadentrebel 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Super thanks to u/jcg for being able to whip up a bot that could autopost the RD thread. We'll see it in action later tonight. :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

btw what happened to yaya bot and why don't I see a daily topic here?

[–] tahann 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There is. It's just not synched with other instances.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

ah, lemmy.world must have broke again

[–] decadentrebel 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lemm.ee has problems syncing with World. Even threads I post from it hasn't even showed up here in World after days, if not never.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's probably a .world problem, from what I've seen.

Sa ibang fedi platform or sa ibang instance?

[–] Periwinkledot 7 points 2 years ago

Sana pala sinunod ko yung nakalagay dati sa Bazooka bubble gum:

If you play by the rules, don't complain if you lose.

[–] decadentrebel 6 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Regional pricing for Sync is in effect!

[–] theyawner 3 points 2 years ago

Much more reasonable. It's five times the price of Sync Pro (for reddit), but it feels more like a safe bet if I end up using Sync for Lemmy for at least five years.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'll stick with Thunder and supporting my instance, but I am glad that Sync is driving more users to Lemmy.

Reasonable. Sync Pro for Reddit for PHP 50 really felt like a steal.

[–] heliosef 1 points 2 years ago

Actually not bad and I might subscribe if only to support the dev. Still no regional pricing on Ultra, though.

Didn't know Pixel phones are available in brick and mortar stores here.

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

Are 5G bands here unlocked in the Philippines for pixels or region locked from pixel exclusive features? Philippines is not included in the list of supported countries.

[–] decadentrebel 2 points 2 years ago

Nope. You have to root it for 5G to work based on what I've read from those who bought Pixels from the grey market.

Squabblr is now a "free speech" platform that only draws the line on racism. Everything else is fair game because apparently the owner is known to make LGBTQ insults. Those who disagreed were removed.

[–] theyawner 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's one of the reasons why I was hesitant trying out a non-federated site. There's a risk that it's just going to be another Voat. Tildes lang yata yung clear sa goal nila about creating a better culture than Reddit.

[–] a_tree_with_5_branch 3 points 2 years ago

poops in the office...

feeling ko nakakaka sobrang lamang ako sa iba...

good morning!!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ganda ng Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki-kun light novels. One of my recommendations if you like high school slice-of-life light novels or if you just enjoy things like Oregairu or Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. Tinapos ko yung ten volumes ng Tomozaki-kun in three days HAHAHA

AITA dahil hindi ko pinautang ung relative ko?

Marunong naman sya magbayad at laging nagbabayad on or before nung sinabi nyang date kaso pagod na ako. ATM ako ng pamilya. Ako halos gumagastos ng lahat. Pag may mga kailangan ako nagbibigay, pag kapos, ako, lagi akong utangan. Pagod na akong maging banko. Kahit hindi lang ako ang may trabaho, ako pa din kasi ako ung may malaking sweldo at marunong humawak ng pera. Lagi na lang sinasabihan na kawawa naman daw ung iba kong relatives.

Pagod lang akong maging ATM ng kung sino-sino kaya hindi ako nagpautang. Kailangan nya ung pera at sigurado naman akong magbabayad sya pero PAGOD NA AKO.

[–] theyawner 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Always set boundaries and set a max amount that you're willing to lend (or lose since the risk is always there).

[–] sparkle 1 points 2 years ago

Nagbabayad naman ng utang on time kaya 0 risk. Nakakapagod lang talagang maging utangan. Ayoko na maging ATM.

[–] decadentrebel 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sa 2034 eligible na si Jay Som tumakbo as president and will win because of her surname, lmao.

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

I don't even know who that is. Is that a good thing?

[–] decadentrebel 2 points 2 years ago

It's tongue in cheek. Duterte kasi last name niya. Will get a ton of votes kinda like Francis Leo Marcos when he ran for senate.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Can't believe we're electing Duterte three times in our lifetime. I hope Olivia breaks the mold.

[–] decadentrebel 2 points 2 years ago

Olivia would be Baebae Digong.

PC builders, what's a good upgrade path for my old PC? My budget is P30k, here are the specs:

  • CPU: i3-8100
  • Mobo: B360
  • GPU: 1060 6GB
  • RAM: 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
  • Monitor: Asus 60 Hz 24", VZ249HE yata
  • PSU: Seasonic S12II 520w

Use case: gaming, streaming, minor video editing, work

Secondhand preferred sana (except PSU), at ayoko sana magpalit ng mobo muna unless malaki diperensya sa performance (10+ FPS). Iniisip ko baka bumili nalang ako ng i7-8700 + 6700 XT + 650w brand new PSU tapos to follow nalang yung monitor upgrade sa pasko haha. Mukhang kaya naman sa budget pero baka may alam kayo na mas optimal sa P30k hard ~~lemmit~~ limit.

Salamat guys

Na appreciate ko yung titles ng works ni Antipas, lalo na dito. I just had to say.

Pero ang random post ko talaga, na unrelated sa painting, ay about cliches. Nakakasawa.

[–] 65gmexl3 2 points 2 years ago

phtn.app isama na sa list of apps

[–] a_tree_with_5_branch 2 points 2 years ago

Acting is limiting, the line's not mine

That's no help to the Philippines

Can we assume then that you'll quit?

Is this because of your involvement with Colonel Peron?

[–] ako946659661 2 points 2 years ago

Hindi ko mahanap kung may active KPop community sa lemmy, so dito na lang.

Buong araw ko na nire-repeat ung Fast Forward by Somi. Natanggal na nya ang 2weeks LSS ko sa ETA by NewJeans
