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.

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.

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

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.

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!

IDK about anyone else, but the phrase "consuelo de bobo" comes to mind.

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.

Good morning! 🌀️

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

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 😀

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.

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. πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ

If I had another chance, I tried to tell you that the things we had were right.

This will always my favorite music video and one of my favorite house music in my lifetime. The 2000s zeitgeist is too strong on this one, even though I was too young to remember the era. The pandemic blew this M/V views from 2m to 17m.

They "remastered" the M/V last year, and it has different vibe compare to moody, original version that really looked so cinematic. By the way, this was shot on 16mm.

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

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

Speaking of snack boxes below, subscription model boxes, has anyone tried them? Like ung mga clothing subscription (set of clothes and iirc shoes sent to you monthly for a monthly subscription. Naturally they'll ask for your measurements, shoe sizes, etc.) or same idea but for food. How was it?

Nakatipid ba kayo or not?

More convenient or not?

Genuinely curious.

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

parang mga lootbox? for clothes? vv interesting and feels like a huge luxury (monthly supply of new clothes). not hating on people who go for it but yeah interesting how that works

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

Yep. Sort of a luxury here I guess, but it's a bit of a thing sa US. I was just wondering how people here would justify either paying or not paying for this kind of service.

fyi, may ongoing issues pala sa federation, mga post/comments from lemmy.world to other instances ay di nakikita - https://lemmy.world/post/646742

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

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 and sadly, just reinforces the stereotypes about "nerds not having social skills".

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

Bro for someone who calls himself "small-brained" your posts have plenty of thought man

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 controller’s filing system.

  1. 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.

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. 🀣
