Today’s Ask PHlemmy: Which celebrity or public figure today would the world collectively mourn if they passed away?
That's a question I would rather not answer, since I'm not a fan of celeb culture. I might need to think more for a good answer to that question.
lbj
Probably Tom Hanks.
If ever Lemmy decides to hold their own version of an AMA, I wonder how we're going to call it. The best (of the few) answers was Ask Someone Something aka. ASS.
Edit: Lemmy Ask You also great.
Gusto ko tumambling, nakakatamad sa work. GOOD MORNING ka phlemmies
Parang natatakot ako tumambling ng gantong oras. Hahahaha
Good morning!
Ngayong bumalik na ako sa opisina, ang dilemma ko ngayon ay pano magsneeze. Hays. Ang hassle na kailangan kong pumunta ng CR para magblow ng nose. Pero it is what it is. Hays, pitong oras pa, kakayanin ko to 😭
Good morning, Enteng! Have a nice dayyyy
Good morning Ayel!
Sa crook ng elbow? Doesn't work as well without long sleeves but still doable.
morning kayak first thing in the morning, walang kain: 2 miles ang aking limit lol. A sports watch would be really handy right now kaso di ko pa afford yung watch I've been eyeing 👀
Nakisabay ako sa mga small boats and something like a small cruise ship/ferry/yacht and it was fun. Kaway-kaway lang in my little motorless kayak 👋 ✨ im so tiny
Nung nag snorkel around ako the corals near the shore are pretty dead, it's sad. Malalaki pa naman. Meron ako nakita lumalaban pa tho when I went further. Gurl if I had equipment markado na yung place tapos babalikan ko uli next time just to check up on it. Kaya ko naman i-estimate yung distance 🤔
May dumaplis na something sa leg ko tapos namula at nangati ang aking binti. I have no idea what it was, di ko talaga siya makita but I'm alive and not convulsing, plus the skin is returning to normal. Pero gusto ko talaga malaman kung ano yun ah 😆 hay
I definitely keep telling myself not to be too arrogant sa mga activities ko (as fun as it is). Safety is priority. Tropical fishies are so pretty tho.
name ng repair shop sa farmers mall 👀 sige titingin ako hehehe
Dati kong comfort zone, danger zone ko na ngayon. Wala pang 10pm pero gusto ko na mag-sadgurL
Ba’t 🤸♂️ malungkot 🤸♂️ ang 🤸♂️ beshie 🤸♂️ ko?
Kasi 🤸🏻♂️ walang 🤸🏻♂️pera🤸🏻♂️ang🤸🏻♂️ beshie 🤸🏻♂️mo🤸🏻♂️ hahahha
Nandito ka na rin pala!
Hello, stars! Hope you're doing fine 🫶🏻 pwede ba dito magpost ng mga mema ko sa bohai tulad ng ginagawa ko sa rd? Hahahah
Pwede naman! Mas chill nga dito eh
Ayellll 🫂🥺
Hi, Eury. Don't worry 🫂 I'm good naman. Sana okay din kayo 🫶🏻✨
11pm na pwede na mag sad gurl
Not much for my Steam sale haul. Still have backlogs to play. And I'm planning to buy Cities Skylines 2 soon.
I only got Divinity Original Sin 2 and Titanfall 2. I also got a lot on my backlog but I've only spent hours on Civ VI for the past month after I repaired/upgraded my PC.
Might be getting Metro Exodus (will review first if kailangan pa ng EGS), Watchdogs 2, and Arma 3. Nakakatempt talaga mag dagdag lol.
Ang lungkot 🤸 ng beshie mo 🤸, kasi wala daw 🤸 Pfizer booster 🤸 sa Ayala Circuit 😐
With that said, saan daw meron? Ayaw niya umuwi ng walang napapala 😐
Try niyo sa Mandaluyong City Hall. Active pa LGU nila sa pagpost ng booster sched.
kaya pala medyo mabilis ngayon
Found on my Facebook Memories for today
Pls read with feelings
Yun o! Buti na lang may Prime ako.
That's an AU story where Kenshin Himura found himself in "present day" Philippines and with the help of his new friends, started a ferry service. All he wanted to do, however, is find a way to get back to Japan.
Plot twist: he eventually found his way 'back' to present day Japan.
Twitter removes login requirement for viewing tweets (via Ars Technica )
Quite a quick backpedal from Musk, and a quiet one too.
Madami nagalit e. Nandoon pa din ung limit of viewing Tweets and other social media companies are taking advantage of it. BlueSky is highly anticipated because it's backed up by the founder of Twitter. Another one is Threads by Instagram from Meta.
Fun fact: Threads is also Fediverse-compatible.
Mej ekis sakin si Dorsey rn kasi naging cryptobro 😐
He's also supporting an anti-vaxxer's presidential candidacy (Robert F Kennedy Jr).
Damn kala ko it was musk, didn't expect it to be Dorsey TIL.
Nagbackpedal din yung rate limit shenanigans niya e kek
Musk has to eat some humblepie.
Salamat naman. Makes TW just marginally less annoying.
nagpaadjust ng braces
asst: sir ano po kulay ng rubber gusto niyo
me: yung yellow na lang
dentist: sige kabit natin yellow. tapos pa music na din yung Yellow by Coldplay
nyeta kung tumagal pa to ng onti sa showbiz dapat nag Bubble Gang to e HAHAHA
beri good daw ako sa first month ng braces kasi di natanggalan ng bracket 😇 thx daddy HAHA
HAHAHAHAA yeah, they were all yellow…
Daddy???

Fediverse compatible pala si Threads

EDIT: Update from Mastodon: https://lemmy.world/post/1083649
Not yet. Pero supposedly they plan to support it. Might be interesting, but the concerns in the post you linked are valid. Heck, even the nature of Activity Pub could result to Meta gaining access to all of the content in the fediverse to feed their own AI initiatives.
yun AI para xang monster sa mga movies. yun pinapakain para mag-grow tapos kakalabanin yun mga heroes pag fully developed na
You mean Ultron??
una nasa isip ko si majin boo
uy haha dami trackers ni thread

What's stopping me from fully adopting Mastodon is that there's barely anyone you can follow. I suppose as a microblogging journal only for you to see, it works (and I'm already doing that). But as a rapid-fire instantaneous news source, it's likely not going to take off.
I'm already seeing a ton of people moving to Threads (even Adrian Wojnarowski). Sure, I expect that sooner or later it's going to be ruined by suggested tweets (ano nga ba tawag ng Threads sa mga posts? lol) and advertising fuckery, but for now I'm digging the clean UI and snappy mobile app that I used to love in Twitter's third-party apps and pre-Elon BS.
Lalo na kung hanap ng mga content creator is more support, need talaga post sa big social media. Pwede rin magpost ka sa multiple sites including mastodon. Pati NBA and NASA parati active sa Mastodon, yun nga lang autobot sila pero pwede na basta madami mareach ng content nila
I ran this through mlmym (an old.reddit interface for Lemmy) and it doesn't quite display right because of the sidebar images, lol.
That's impressive had me looking into it twice. I thought that was reddit until I saw read your message.
Next step is that they give you the option to use better old.reddit themes like Naut (which is the base skin for a ton of subs), Minimaluminiumalism, and Simplit.
Pagkalabas ng tren, naglalagablab na init kaagad ang naramdaman ko e. Basang-basa na ng pawis ang damit sa labas ng estasyon. Mala-free trial ng impyerno HAHA
For real. Nag-meryenda ako pancakes kanina, kusa natunaw yung butter.
Can confirm. Lumabas lang ako sa shower kala mo nag shooting ng scorpio nights sa cr e, but instead of looking macho nagmuka akong sisiw.
Fuck it, no choice but to A/C.
The stark difference between lemmy.world and lemm.ee when it comes to news thumbnails of c/philippines articles:

Singer Coco Lee passes away at 48
TW: Suicide
My memory of Coco Lee was her telling Shaggy (presumably because of poor English) "Do I make you horny?" while hosting the MTV Asia Awards.
Ganun na ba katagal ung huling update sa BPI Trade? Haha
No mention of MS Edge since Internet Explorer is no longer supported.
10 years ago lang pala IE11? Akala ko much farther back pa.
Pero yung biggest clue na ang tagal na nila hindi nag-uupdate is the fact that they still have this disclaimer on their website, lmao. Pretty much every designer stopped putting that by the early 2010s kasi there's a 90% chance you're using a computer that supports most web standards.
Itong allergy ko sa hipon nag-eevolve. Ngayon maka-amoy lang ako ng whiff ng hipon, nattrigger na yung allergy ko. HAYST
sino na malapit mag monthsary? https://wefwef.app/posts/lemm.ee/c/[email protected]/comments/732214
One winner bags Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot worth over P58.9 million
Ang galante ni PCSO ah! 😆
Every time may mababalitang nananalo, sinasabi ko sa sarili ko na tataya ako kinabukasan.
Lagi ko nakakalimutan tumaya hahahaha
Tita Cristy just claimed on her show today that Eat Bulagta will end on this monthend. Wow
legit ba chismis ni lola?
PARANOID INC IS MAKING THE TSV SIGN THE NDA TO ILLEGALLY INSPECT THEIR PHONES, LAPTOPS AND GADGETS
Salamat talaga at mga ganitong oras nagawa ng kape dun sa factory ng Café Puro. Unang langhap, gising agad eh hahahaha
Inggit-pikit na lang kaming may GERD pag dating sa kape, haha.
Bad trip, nag-send ng follow requests sa lahat ng IG contacts ko yung Threads. Hayst.
Edit: Nahanap ko where I could cancel those, lol. Threat neutralized!
Not a fan of this new UI, haha. I prefer the smaller fonts.
Mostly for posting articles because the thumbnail used to show up when coursed through there. But it doesn't appear to be working anymore.
ayoko naman ng small fonts, ang hirap sa mata.

TLDR: sub was required by reddit to re-open. One mod who went dark on all of them for two years returns to reddit and does a fast one and takes over the sub as mod with full power. Demotes/removes others from mod list. Was called out on discord (with receipts) and apparently there are reddit loyalists over there now throwing mud at the refugee mods.
Talo ka. Di ka naman naligo e.
May interesado ba dito gagamit ng thread, meron na ako mastodon account kaso hindi ako gagamit yun dahil napakaraming telemetry data kinuha eh.
haha
Classic meta fashion
Di ko pa natry, pero pwede naman. Gawa ako finstagram as Ayel para safe hahahaha
womp womp
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
Inggit ako dun sa mga nakanood ng midnight premiere screening of insidious the red door. Saya ng sigawan nila sa clips e haha
Tanong po sa mga devs, Doon sa contract nyo, pag project hire or contractual, common po ba yung clause na kapag hindi mo natapos yung contract or maaga ka aalis before the end of the contract, pinagbabayaran po ba kayo or pinapakuha kayo ng referral na papalit?
Alam ko normalized sa PH yung pagbayad pag di mo natapos yung contract kung may bond ka. Although, i only hear it from regular employee contracts, hindi sa mga project-based/contractuals. Pero yung papahanapin ka ng kapalit, first time kong narinig yan.
I'd definitely think twice about signing, IMO.
DW Segment on Italy's ghost towns.
Pentadattilo (translated as 'five fingers', at least based on this article's ) is an Italian town located somewhere in Calabria.
Abandoned around the 1960s - 1970s due to earthquakes and landslides, the town remains intact, albeit in a slowly progressing state of decay. The town also has a bit of a sinister history: the slaughter of a family clan in the late 1600s (also found in above article ).
TLDR: 2 rival familes. Boy falls for girl in rival family. Said girl's family has good ties in politics, and influential politician also falls for girl. Boy, pissed off at girl's family, goes with clan members to girl's family and disposes of everyone (including a 9 y.o. kid JFC) except girl. They get married (probably forced). Politician family sends military to deal with boy, who then abandons girl (lived and died in a convent, where she stayed for the rest of her life), and escapes to vienna. Becomes an officer, dies in war.
Good plot for a horror movie too I guess, as well as a good place to visit, even for just a bit. There's also a yearly movie festival held, to presumably keep the memory/village alive. Last one was held sometime August. Youtube channel is here
Probably adding this somewhere in my bucket list.
EDIT: Pentadattilo, not Pentadatillo
Yun o, naka-log in na rin ulit with Kiwi Browser haha
Ang dami palang 2020 Census-related press releases this week ah. Opportune time to maybe get public use files
Available na instagram threads na twitter competitor, kakarelease lang kanina. Looks good so far. Mukhang threatened agad ang twitter dito connected kasi ig accounts ng mga tao sa threads account.
Made the mistake of "following" the same on my IG when I intend to make it completely private. Ah well.
Ayun lang, gawa nalang ng private burner account haha.
Pwede pala i-cancel mga request. May cancel all option but may mga ibang accounts that I intend to follow (if they join) so nangawit ako kakapindot, lmao.
If you haven't tried it yet, check out Mastodon.
Yung ping din kasi dependent kung saan naka host. If di ako nag kakamali europe tong so world so normal talaga 200+ ping.
Earlier, I was requesting a USC from Globe Store, wala man lang identification o proof of ownership na hinihingi. Just tell the number, and isesend na agad sa number. Sabi pa ng rep, di na raw need kasi "prepaid user" lang. Wow.
Hindi naman ganito noong nagrequest din ako ng USC sa Globe last year.
