Todayβs Ask PHlemmy: What inspired your username?
Philippines
Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! βοΈ
An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! π΅π
Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from June 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.

What is the meaning of "Alog" na pananalita
A color and a birthstone.
I was just throwing up names around. Dir En Grey had a song called "Decadence" and they were kind of "rebels" in that they weren't your usual visual kei band.
It's an old one, made back in my weeb days. I was looking to register at some forum, and at the time, I was into an anime character wearing glasses.
From then on, I kept using it, partly because part of my identity has grown around that username, and has become disassociated from the anime character that inspired it.
lol gumamit lang ako ng username generator.
This is an old username, I believe it's from a lyric from a song I liked to listen to a long time ago.
Was looking for a name for a game I used to play and checked a dictionary for inspiration. The word I checked was acacia, which led to acanthus, which led to akantha.
Saw this book on some table, wanted an account. Put 2 and 2 together and poof ~~coco crunch~~ my username.
what
Hmmmmm.....
Sana cheater nalang jowa ko mas madali pa sanang bumitaw. Hindi kagaya ng ganto na araw araw ako nakakatanggap ng verbal at emotional abuse na parang basahan lang ako tas di ko malaman kung bakit.
I'm sorry this is happening to you.
1 year ago, I received my snack box from Reddit. May mga Starbucks frappe bottles pa sa ilalim niyan. That's about it from them. Fuck Spez pa rin!
What if tanggalin na daw yung night shift dito sa work... actually pabor ang mga tao dito. I guess nobody really wants to do night shift. Heck, I don't like it either. We just make it bearable.
Ang weird pala kapag nagpa check up ka sa workplace mo tapos kilala mo lang yung mga people. What if I was diagnosed with a disease tapos may stigma? What if I just want to keep it private? So weird.
It is tempting to do day shift. But as a nighter, malapit lang kasi work, so night = less traffic at least most of the time. I'm all for 6 am to 3 pm but the lines man, just parang nakakahinayang lang na nagising ka ng maaga para wala kang kasama, which is exactly what a few thousand people also thought at that moment lol.
Alas, but it is what it is. Do what is best for you, as talagang ymmv whether you want to be a day or night shifter.
I just went on a mini killing spree of cockroaches. Ugh, it was disgusting, but it would've been more disgusting if I just let them go. And then I had to clean everything kasi may amoy sila that's even more annoying i don't even want to talk about it π€
May nag-attempt pa lumipad. You're not getting away. It was like playing whack-a-mole with my shoe. Feeling ko medyo lumabas yung pent up rage ko in the process. It was still disgusting, plz
I miss my room, I miss my bed, gusto ko na umuwi. Na-trigger ata yung allergies ko dito.
Been trying the Lemmy apps that have come out and I like the look and feel of thunder best, at the moment I think I'll be using this 3rd party app
iba talaga ang dopamine nang gumaganang program
Maraming salamat, @[email protected], sa pag-tanggal ng Colombia flag sa mukha ni daga. lol
Naalala ko tuloy yung Hello Colombia na paputok π€£π€£π€£
lmao
"ni daga"
HAAHAHAH ^sobrang cute ng icon pero what if it ended up na daga pangalan nya no ahdfasdf^
Ewan ko nga kung iho-honor ko yung poll. Iba sa votes mga non-PH naman, including the leader right now (pilemon). Although I guess it can be modified to filemon = fil + lemon.
As someone who voted for Pilemon, I support changing it to Philemon or Filemon.
Shit, should I just make an entry for Philemon?
Edit:
Fuck it, I made the entry anyways. Bahala na.
Nakaka disappoint sa comsec ng r/piracy
Sleepless man runs amok, gets killed after trying to stab cop
That headline, lol.
henlo
Good morning! π€οΈ
New Maisie Peters album is amazing. Can't think of a bad song at all.
Now time to plug in some metalcore, lest I go soft. π€£
Cyberpunk 2077 has completely taken over my life over the past few days and I highly recommend it kung naghahanap kayo ng malalaro for the long weekend. πππ
Does the Data Privacy Act of 2012 have the same powers as the GDPR or CCPA in that it will compel companies and corporations to delete data from users in Philippine territory?
EDIT: We have the rights to, as per prescribed in the IRR of the Data Privacy Act:
e. Right to Erasure or Blocking. The data subject shall have the right to suspend, withdraw or order the blocking, removal or destruction of his or her personal data from the personal information controllerβs filing system.
- This right may be exercised upon discovery and substantial proof of any of the following:
(a) The personal data is incomplete, outdated, false, or unlawfully obtained;
(b) The personal data is being used for purpose not authorized by the data subject;
(c) The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected;
(d) The data subject withdraws consent or objects to the processing, and there is no other legal ground or overriding legitimate interest for the processing;
(e) The personal data concerns private information that is prejudicial to data subject, unless justified by freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press or otherwise authorized;
(f) The processing is unlawful;
(g) The personal information controller or personal information processor violated the rights of the data subject.
PH companies can delete data from their database. The irony here is that you need to submit rigorous documents to them, and it will take them 30 days tops to delete your data.
I requested GCash to delete my former account linked to my old, forgotten mobile number last year, and yes they deleted "some of it". I say some of it, kasi under sila sa AMLC na dapat may data retention ang mga deleted account minimum of five years, ten is max. ePhilID (or any valid ID) former mobile number, at letter need nila. I dunno kung ganito pa rin ngayon.
Tried requesting data deletion sa Shopee, but they need interview or video chat. Wtf? This was a year ago.
fyi, may ongoing issues pala sa federation, mga post/comments from lemmy.world to other instances ay di nakikita - https://lemmy.world/post/646742
I'm more than willing to give the developers and contributors a lot of leeway given that I'm convinced that Lemmy (and Kbin for that matter) is woefully unprepared to deal with the flood of users from Reddit and everything that it entails, such as more activity overwhelming not just servers, but also the infrastructure itself.
I'm also severely small-brained to understand a lot of the technical discussion in the thread you've linked, but one of the links in that thread lead me to this interesting discussion.
While that kind of drama isn't really productive (I'd rather that the devs, contributors, instance admins and anyone else in the larger discussion about Lemmy and its infrastructure happening all around us), it's entertaining to watch but on the other hand, sadly reinforces the stereotypes about "nerds not having social skills".
Bro for someone who calls himself "small-brained" your posts have plenty of thought man
