Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What's a food that you can't eat due to its texture?
Okra
Niyog
egg plant
Eid Mubarak!
the monitor that my ex gifted to me suddenly died today. like it just won't light up no matter what troubleshooting i did... just like our relation-- oops haha di tayo iiyak dahil double pay ngayon, we work hard despite the challenges, haha! good morning!:D
I didn't go to work today because I knew I wouldn't function with 4 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours and an emotionally clouded mind.
I wouldn’t go to work in that condition either. I’d be staring off into space
Holiday nga pala ngayon no? Nice!
RD image is the_yaya's way of throwing her hat in the circumcision ring 🤣
I've been hesitating to say this, but RD image looked like the intro for some "very late night exotic and niche video." Or maybe it's just my dirty mind.
Almost close. The correct term is midnight movie. Mostly applies to screenings of cult films that don't fit in a mainstream cinema or seedy porn theater.
Lol! I was hinting at a "this looks like porn" joke, but damn! I didn't expect being remotely close to the mark.
This day shaping up to be a snoozefest.. slept at 12MN, woke up at 8AM to eat breakfast, slept again, and now kakagising ko lang ulit.... I LOVE IT
Almost the same setup for me today. Helps that it's a rainy afternoon.
Hump day, let's go!
Akala ko dati NSFW term yang hump day. Yun pala it just means Wednesday lol hahaha.
Nagustuhan ko yung inorder kong midi skirt 🥰
Napa-Google ako what a midi skirt is. Turns out, what I assumed to be a maxi skirt all along is a midi skirt. TIL.
Akala ko audio / instrument related.
Update on using Jerboa v0.0.35 with a Lemmy.world login:
Not great. I'm experiencing a lot of errors and random(?) app crashes. I'm going to downgrade to v.0.0.34
Edit: Nope, downgrading doesn't work either. The app just flat out crashes after a few seconds.
Edit 2: I'm now using Connect (for Lemmy), lol! Need to get used to the slightly new UI.
Yeah the experience on 3rd party apps is better. This is what Reddit fucked up with their API changes. Can't help but to interject "fuck Spez" here yet again. I'm currently using thunder and it fits what I'm looking for in a lemmy client the most.
I was thinking of waiting for a while before I go around and give 3rd party apps a good try. But then again, this Lemmy.world vs. Jerboa problem has forced me to accelerate the timeline, sort of.
I kinda like Jerboa's aesthetic too. It's simple and clean. And though some of the UX feels a bit clunky, it's similar enough to Fedilab that I didn't really mind it much.
It's basically how interacting with comments via Connect that really had me adjusting, lol! Other than that, there's really not much to get used to.
I might give Thunder and others a try too. Ang focus ko kasi kagabi is to just have something I can use for mobile, and my fingers are a bit too clumsy to use the mobile site (through a mobile browser).
And yeah. Lemmy's app landscape is already surprisingly varied especially given that it's just barely a month since it's got enough users to really warrant a handful of 3rd party apps.
Edit: Added and clarified some points.
Did you do it via F-droid? Google Play?
The errors I've seen last night could have very well be due to my set-up in my phone, but yeah, for some reason, Jerboa even refuses to run for long enough for me to log-in after downgrading. I am suspecting it's because as part of the process of downgrading, Jerboa was uninstalled, and all data related to it was deleted.
Ah, I see. Thanks! I might give that route a try later.
I've installed Thunder on my phone just now. I was waxing poetic about how clean and simple Jerboa felt in my reply to someone else just now, but ugh, this is a lot better! Provided I've only had it for a few seconds now, though.
Edit: The swipe right a bit to upvote and swipe left to reply might need a little more getting used to though, lol!
Weird, parang no issues naman on my end. Not sure lang kung anong version ang jerboa ko, but I assume it's the latest one
Edit: I'm apparently in 0.0.36 alpha
I presume you're still on v 0.0.34, but you can check that by going to Jerboa settings, then clicking "About".
Also, don't be like me who updated--even though I am aware of the possible issues--just because di ko napigilan mag-miron. Lol!
As far as I know, so long as you stay logged in (and stay with your current version, and basically don't do anything like deleting app data), you're safe--at least for the time being.
Naka 0.0.36 ako apparently.
Thanks for that. That gave me an idea of what might be happening on my end--like a version mismatch, I guess? But then again, as far as I know, Lemmy.world logins are having trouble for Jerboa v0.0.35 and above.
That said, I'm mostly staying put with Thunder for the time being.
Aga ng Pasko nung pixel art na nilagay a...
Disbarred kasi si Gadon lol
Whenever I watch videos on deep sea creatures I feel a bit creeped out...and also fascinated. Imagine being alone in the deep sea and suddenly you're faced with a 24 ft shark out of nowhere. I'm so tiny in this world~ Whoa
Makahanap nga ng deep sea horror manga/book. Or maybe something similar to A Space Odyssey pero deep sea version ganun hehehe. Ang thrilling nung feeling na hindi mo alam kung na-eexcite ka ba o natatakot 😆 ay
Always been fascinated by deep sea creatures that you normally wouldn't see like Christmas Tree worms and anglerfish.
☄Helloooo mga beshywaaaaaaaaaps ✨✨✨
Natuloy din sa Big Bad Wolf! haul | random song reco
ooh nice. I've been to a lecture by Hans Rosling years ago in UPD when he visited. He was a really engaging lecturer. RIP to him.
Kung kelan maulan 🙁 Sana ibalik nila sa dating schedule (Feb-ish) para di gaanong hassle.
Hassle din yung commute (unless meron kang sariling car or magga-Grab/Angkas or taxi).
Yung pinakamalapit na public transpo (jeep) is sa may Harrison pa. May mga e-trikes naman from PICC to LRT raw, pero OP kasi 40 pesos per pax.
El Nino, ramdam na sa ibang bahagi ng bansa
Kaya pala ang init lately.
Hindi daw magiging malamig ang simoy ng hangin natin sa kapaskuhan. Sabi ng PAGASA, aabot sa 37° sa November at warmer than usual ang December.
Pero iba pa rin ang simoy pasko dito sa Pinas.Or baka childhood memory ko na lang yun.
This is true. You'll also reach an impasse as you grow older and realize that it's impossible to be morally and logically consistent. Like supporting that the minimum wage should be higher... but then you pay carpenters or maids what you can afford legally instead of what they deserve because you also have your own bills to worry about.
Heck, I still watch my sports team despite having an anti-vaxxer/anti-semite and an owner that promotes NFTs and crypto (that actually ended up swindling fans).
You're like some people distrusting Google and other big tech companies but still using their products. It's okay to have some paranoia after you read some "revelations," and it wears out over time. I was like this a few years ago, but then realized that life "is too sophisticated."
I'm not keen or care of anything what happen to the world anymore like I used to. The Election 2022 was my boiling point. It is a waste of time and energy.
Nakakaaliw lang ang lemmy, nakikita sa comment count pag may nag delete ng comment. As in makikita mo -1 comment. Lumalabas din ang edit kahit hindi ka pa nagefresh ng page.
I like the utilitarian purpose of it... kasi pag accidentally mo nadelete post, you could easily restore it. Happened to me a couple of times already, lol.
DRD ng June 26, -15 new. 😁
Ang gv naman ni sir na nag-hair and make up sa advisory class niya para sa grad pic ❤️
Google is planning to kill Waze daw as per https://lemmy.world/post/728456
I don't know kung medyo dinosaur ako but the last time I used Google Maps, parang calibrated yung directions nya for motorcycle kahit na naka car setting. Pinapadaan nya kame sa isang u-turn slot sa Kalayaan Ave before na motor lang magkakasya.
Edit: trial and error sa pagedit ng link.
Edit2: I am sorry fellow Connect users. Legit na dinosaur ako dahil hindi ko maformat yung link to work with the app 😖
Edit3: I made it work! Yey! I had to access lemmy world sa browser, copy that link instead of using yung link generated ng [Copy Permalink] feature ng Connect app. Though the reason maybe is non-lemmy.world ata yung source ng post. For those curious, eto yung original link: https://feddit.it/post/511442
I'm much more comfortable with Waze than Google Maps. Kahit na dinala kami ng Waze before on a one way dead-end that made maneuvering out impossible, haha.
At least Waze didn't lead you to the Fastest Available Route, lol!
Same. I'm trying to check kung may "Vehicle Details" equivalent sa Maps where you can add the last digit of your plate number and toll pass owned. Either super hidden or baka wala pa.
We had a (mis)adventure with Waze din na dinala kame sa isang street na may ginaganap na liga ng basketball. Super awkward kasi sya lang talaga yung way out, they had to stop the game and glared at us the whole time. Anyways, dun na-ban ni older sib (the family driver) si mader sa shotgun seat bilang hindi nya nacheck yung journey. Fun times.
Ang init. Naubos ko ang isang 4L Absolute Water na binili ko kaninang 8AM. Hanggang ngayon, di pa nagdeliver taga-suplay ng tubig sa condo.
Hindi rin yata okay na masyadong maraming water intake. Baka bumaba electrolytes mo.
I'm on cleansing, and recently made 1L of lemon water na nahihiyang humingi ng tubig next door. lol
Nagawa ko na ito dati, together with 16:8 eating window.
The new Superman and Lois Lane revealed. I like Rachel, but the other guy I've not heard of at all.
Napa-search tuloy ako. Pogi naman, di ko lang sure ang acting.
Slightly mas bata na Henry Cavill, haha.
na upgrade na pala un instance natin https://lemmy.world/post/744132
Nagloloko na mga apps when trying to browse the instance (Jerboa, Liftoff). Not sure if temporary lang.
naku pu, kahit sa browser di naglo-load ang mga thread
Nag-rollback daw muna, try again later daw. Sana ma-upgrade na nila successfully.🤞
sana may early announcement, for example few days before upgrade para ready lahat sa downtime
Mukhang okay na. Pati yung preview ng contents na nagsho-showup sa homepage tinanggal na rin, haha.
Napaka-transparent ng devs. Damn, I'll definitely suspend my quarterly Mozilla donation and proceed to Lemmy (or this instance) instead.
Aaaand they rolled back again. An upgrade doesn't appear to be likely in the near future. :(
haha yun reply mo showing as 8 hours ago
Sakin nman 4min ago 😁
https://lemmy.world/post/744421 try this
I'm not a fan of how the main page looks in the latest Lemmy version, specifically portions of the body showing up. I caught a glimpse of it earlier when
lemmy.worlddid a brief update before the rollback.Hopefully there's a way to turn that off.
I think clearing cache for the past day fixes it - saw it before then started getting other errors, not seeing it now after clearing the cache.
So ayun na nga, Finally alam ko na talaga, Paalam sayo.
(2)
To u/_____jk hahahaHahaha, Di ko alam baka nasa lemmy nga sya
OMG. Sino yan? Hahahaha 😯
Now, I regret creating this account. Lumabag ata ako sa Rule No. 9 natin.
nasa playstore na si LiftOff, kung di xa mahanap yun searchbox try this link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liftoffapp.liftoff&pli=1
Mag-auto update ba siya kahit sa Github ko nakuha?
Marijuana should be legal for medicinal purposes, not for general public consumption. That's it.
Regulation is a thing... oh wait, nasa Pinas pala tayo. Haha.
I'm straight-edge so normally I'd agree with you, lol. But I'm ambivalent towards marijuana legalization. If the argument is because some people need it, then it's a flawed one because medical marijuana is already legal for decades now. What they need to do is make it known, cheaper, and accessible.
I have a mild form of neuropathy which I assume would worsen in due time, and apparently CBD oil (which doesn't count) could alleviate some of those symptoms. Would be nice to have that in your backpocket should worse come to worse.
