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.

Dear Lord, sana po ay maipit sa traffic si Joey Concepcion sa lahat ng beses na bibyahe sya. Thank you po in advance. Amen.

magandang umaga mga kalemmy. just left a party and i am so glad that the karaoke was hogged by the younger people. i was afraid that the younger generation is shying away from this very Filipino/East Asian/Southeast Asian pastime because it is deemed uncool. but the way they sang with gusto assures me that this will stay on as an important part of our culture. karaoke may be a nuisance to some (to mine as well sometimes) but i consider it as a testament to our love for music, fellowship, and having a good time.
cheers!

Karaoke will be one of the last things to die out in this country, that's my opinion. Filipinos love to sing, even the ones who are bad at it.

It's also one of the few options of socialization for those who don't drink. Good icebreaker too if you're introverted.

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

It's something both sober and drunk people can enjoy for sure

They said red light is supposed to help you sleep. Sounded harmless enough, so I got some colored lights in my room and now it looks...funny πŸ˜†

It's either suspicious-looking or a mini-hell alternate reality version of the place. I don't hate it. My fave setting is the smooth fade transition of colors. Pretty dreamy 🀩 I think that one might help me sleep better actually, but we'll see.

I think I might get more lights just because it's fun. Next...what if I got myself a humidifier? A relaxing consistent smell would be nice. I was thinking citronella or citrus or something lavender-y.

What the heck am I doing? I have no idea. I kinda want my room to smell like fluffy, cloudy marshmallows if that makes sense.

Honestly sounds awesome. You might be interested in trying reed diffusers. They last for quite some time and are pretty low maintenance.

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

Ooooh so that's what that design of diffuser is called. Ok, I'll check it out thanks!

Someone brought up Last.fm, and I had to dig up my old foobar setup. My desktop looks very 00s with the dock and widgets, lol.

It's also interesting to see that 16 degrees was possible back then on a rainy July.

Edit: On second thought, that might be the weather in California at the time when I was on a vacation. That's the more likely explanation.

Setting up Firefox's tracking protection to Strict and enabling uBlock Origin extension is kinda redundant, unless not spending on YouTube Premium. Website's banner ads are completely removed even without uBlock Origin and just let Firefox do the work.

Firefox is amazing! I'd been using Microsoft Edge for two weeks without adblock extensions, and I cannot stand it.

Hahaha featured si marius-black (r/ph's ukiyo-e artist) sa PaoLUL dahil sa gatekeeping comments niya

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

OOTL what's this about?

Edit: Kita ko na. That explains why his recent artworks on Reddit are either not getting much upvotes or getting mass downvoted.

Edit 2: His comments from weeks ago are also being reported for "self harm"

Ang bilis ng araw na to potek hahahha! pag weekend talaga bilis ng oras

I know I am acting abnormally when I choose ice cream w/ crushed cookies as my first meal. Why did I do that? I don't know, I must have gone crazy. It was really good tho, but now I kinda regret it πŸ˜” actually I don't know if I regret it, pero yung tiyan ko parang di natutuwa sa ginawa ko.

Self, let's not...do that again. I think the last time I did something like that was more than 10 years ago. Why does it seem like a big deal, it's just ice cream? Well, I take care of what I eat, and I don't eat shit. Lol.

It's been a crazy week. Nag-grocery na ako and I will be back with my normal, healthy diet this week. Naloka ako. Naloka talaga ako dahil sa tuhod ko at sa mga di ko magawa bc of it. It's fine now.

This week just confirmed masaya na talaga ako sa usual diet ko. Feeling ko ang dami kong pinagdaanan just because I ate differently for a week.

Goddamn lamang sana ng dosena yung South Sudan, pero nakahabol ang Puerto Rico, na-foul yung PR with 0.3 seconds remaining, parehong mintis ang free throw, kaya ayun overtime na

Ang weird ng GOMO. They're using infrastructures from GLOBE and yet the reception shifts from LTE to EDGE agressively, tapos si GLOBE stable the whole day. I now hesitant to purchase their UNLI DATA.

Tonight’s Ask PHLemmy: What’s definitely getting out of hand?

Social medias. Kids under 13 can access them with or without parental controls.

I don't want to turn into a grouchy, old-fashioned person, so I normally encourage and admire whatever the kids do these days, but TikTok is the one exception to the rule.

It's an app that contributes more harm than fun. Fake news with those heavily-edited minute clips masquerading as helpful advice and those darn challenges.

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

Don't get me started on those "helpful" tips that are just pure bollocks, and the rampant fake news that's even worse than Facebook's. Also, it trains the younger people to lean into their short attention span with the minute long video format, which doesn't help.
