Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is your "I fucking hate this song" song?
Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud
Favorite ko yung ending song ng Mojacko dati. Started to hate it nung ginawa ko siyang alarm sound sa umaga. Simula nun, di na ko gumamit ng gusto kong kanta as alarm or ringtone.
Price tag by whoever sang that stupid song.
tatsbytats
Pusong bato tsaka yung Buko ba yun. 🙄
Imahe - Magnus Haven. It's a great song, but I hate it because of how much it hurts when I listen to it. 😂
Paubaya - Moira dela torre
parang lahat ng kanta sa genre niya ay nahihirapan akong pakingan... mas lalo akong tinatamad... hahaha
Rebecca Black's Friday, but only because I was subjected to such inhumane torture by former workmates by (sarcastically) blasting this on a Friday, every week, for ~20 weeks (The horror). Parang feel ko naging si Dwight ako sa the office na napavlovian response ng negative feeling sa music. Okay naman sya by itself as a song, but the experience behind the song kinda made me hate it.
Also, sa category ng "I never fucking thought I'd love this song", it was Nickelback's Photograph. LMAO.
Any Adele Song... My Family plays it all the time!!!
My brother sent this to me early in the morning while he was asleep. I guess the chat client transcribed his snores, ROTFLMAO.
WTH is going on Internet?! Reddit's API killed 3rd party apps and now Twitter is limiting views for a day?! This could be a gain for other platforms like Facebook, then again Facebook sucks! Even if this happens, this will not make me reactivate my FB! Messenger na lang kailangan ko sa kanila.
Kahit naman FB hindi rin accessible content nila unless logged in ka.
The platform that benefits from this is actually Bluesky and Mastodon. But idk, Mastodon had a chance last year when the third-party apps got killed, but failed to make much headway mostly because of a combination of UX issues, lack of serious adopters (laki rin kasi ng kita from tweets), and negative campaigning.
TFW di maka sign up sa Bluesky
They closed registrations kasi madami raw signups kahapon as a result of Elon's antics, lol.
araw na pala ng sweldo ko. sana magbayad agad yung amo ko. 🤞
4 foreigners nabbed for disrespecting Philippine flag – PNP
On behalf of the r/PH's moderator team, we sincerely apologize for the actions of our fellow foreigners.
Happy Sunday sa lahat! Hope everyone's doing well.
Just want to ask if anyone has an idea how much a mitral valve replacement cost (mechanical)? Ang initial quote sa amin is ~700k sa may Heart Center (semi-private package). Pero say, on the safe side, base on experience, mga magkano kaya talaga aabutin na need itake into account? Thank you!
No worries na po dito - mga ~100k+ daw po or more pa. Thank you!
No wonder why Twitter is down. I'll be happy if people leave the site for good.
It would be nice if we could presuade more significant organizations to set up their outlets elsewhere. Twitter was the place to be for info afterall.
Sana bumenta yung Mastodon. Kaso kahit ako naguguluhan, haha.
This is apparently why: Twitter is DDoSing itself
Ganda ng bagong UI mejo parang old reddit HAHAHAH nakakatuwa
Medyo may pagka OG Friendster din sa pag le layout or customize ng community eme
if only the spacing was similar too. still feels like new.reddit.com.
"Makdo hmmm my favorite"
Testing comment lang po kung mabilis ba
Thousands of Twitter users report problems accessing site as Elon Musk says new limits have been installed
From 600 tweets, ngayon 800 tweets na ang daily limit. It seems ginagawang prepaid load ang Twitter kung ilang tweets ang nababasa per day. In other words, Twitter apartheid ang dating.
halata nagtitipid sila, ano kaya meron? dahan dahan na downfall
Nothing big. Just pure greed pretty much.
may utang pala sila sa Google - https://lemmy.world/post/927640
Nagka-outage kagabi at maraming users ang hindi makapag-access ng Twitter lalo na sa mobile app. Until now, nagloloko pa rin ang Twitter app.
yun iba palal lumilipat sa bluesky - https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/1/23781417/bluesky-halted-sign-ups-joining-twitter
Apparently dahil daw sa kantangahan ni musk. Yung effect daw ng pagpilit nila na kailangan nakalog-in para makakita ng posts ay parang nagDDoS attack ang twitter sa sarili niya.

Elon Musk says Twitter will limit how many tweets users can read
1000 tweets/day na ang limit.
Looks like the
lemmy.worldupdate was a success. We now have the new UI and I'm guessing it's compatible with Jerboa.Edit: I like the smaller fonts, but I don't see the point of an English icon and the upvote ratio adjacent to the post time.
Confirmed na Jerboa is working again! Made this post using the app.
Just happy di na nagauauto populate ang feed. I can finally read the articles in "All."
Is Jerboa the best Lemmy client? I'm using Summit for Lemmy.

Toss-up between Jerboa and Liftoff IMO. But Liftoff has issues with
lemmy.worldright now.Marahay na morning sa lahat!!!
shot!!!
margarita pukots scrambled eggs and steamed hotdogs...
cos... healthy...
Nasa GMA7 si Awra sumasayaw?
Would like to apologize to @megane-kun for not being able to respond sa sleep stuff kasi nag comment ako and boom nautot si Lemmy hindi nag register ung reply ko. Forgot about it until now so bawi bawi na lang me lmao.
As with all advice, please do take these points with a grain of salt and YMMV.
1.1 Kung hindi makaletgo ng devices, just make sure lahat ng scrolling/socmedding is not on your bed: Basically, reclaim mo lang ung kama mo as a place for
naughtinesssleeping and not a place for scrolling. I can say that this surprisingly worked for me.Last meal 2 hours before bedtime - YMMV, because pag tinamaan ka talaga ng gutom poutain tlaga. But I find na mas ready ako for sleep.
In relation to 1.1, have some sort of an evening routine. Let this routine register in your mind na "ah, I'm doing x routine, therefore I must get ready to sleep". It is unnoticeable sa simula, but once you get the habit in, sleeping will be slightly easier. I believe si James Clear mentioned this as sort of "chaining" your habits. I.e. parang Street fighter combo, but to put you to sleep instead.
Said routine can be anything (basta wag masyado active ang requirement for brain and body): Preparing a cup of tea, preparing the plate, opening a pack of biscuits (pwedeng fita to digestibles also random lang baket digestibles ang tawag ng British lol). If it has become a formed habit, the very stimuli (ung amoy ng tea, the opening of the package, etc.) parang dahan dahan kang tinetease to go to bed. Sorry di ko ma explain pero basta para syang nag ttriger ng kaantukan mo. Syempre wag ung scrolling na habit, make it something tech-free.
Nag transition ako to unintentional ASMR, then to Radio Garden, which is basically radio surfing for pure talk shows, and doze away. I find that the more unfamiliar the language, the better, kasi you can't really process what they're saying and you kinda doze off.
So ayun. This has helped me at least. I hope it helps someone out as well.
Be assertive with your sleep schedule mga phlemmings, your body will thank you for it. Paglaban mo rin naman paminsan-minsan sarili mo, wag lang ibang tao hehe.
EDIT: Formatting.
Actually speaking of phones, naalala ko may parang "Safe mode" or sleep light mode something ung ibang mga phones. Everyone should have this on and get used to it slowly. At least may free alternative.
Hahahaha~ No worries. I actually kinda forgot about it myself.
Thanks for the tips! It'd be helpful to others as well.
This is what my doctor told me as well. Not using those exact same words, ofc, but roughly the same sentiment. I was having a really rough time with sleep before (even got to a point when I was basically operating on a variable, non-24 hour cycle). The advice they gave me basically boiled down to: "whatever you do, keep a schedule."
One of those, uh, questionable routines I've started having is using the phone on the bed as part of my bedtime routine. I usually surf the internet on the desktop, and when I transition to the phone, it's usually in the context of "yeah, nagpapaantok lang ako." Surprised pikachu face naman ako after a few hours and I find myself still awake, lol!
What I found to be a lot better is simply wash my face, brush my teeth, and then take off my eyeglasses and actually lie in bed. And only to lie in bed when I'm ready to sleep.
Additional tip: make sure ung schedule mo is not a tyrannical taskmaster, meaning parang pagkakita mo lang sa planned schedule mo you hear whipping sounds of slavery at least yun ung nabasa ko lmao. Make sure it is a schedule, but make sure na you freely go along with it, and not made resentful by it. Goldilocks lang (the story, not the bakeshop ba dum tss)
Yep! I learned that the hard way.
A good rule of thumb that I ended up following is to "plan for your worst day." This means that if I were to make a commitment to do something everyday, I should make sure that I can actually do it even on the days I couldn't be bothered to do anything. Not only does it make sure that I can actually do it (and hence, form a habit), it also forces me to prioritize the things I actually want to do.
Another rule of sorts I picked up is "a moment is roughly 20 minutes." The way I see it, it means that there's no use micromanaging my day down to the minute. I normally just divide my day into at most three chunks: morning, afternoon and evening, and then allot at most two things (appointments, errands, etc.) per chunk. That way, I won't feel hurried or pressured for time.
But yeah, the main idea is not to make a schedule so oppressive I'd actually feel resentful at it, as you've said, but to make sure that it has the things I can commit myself to doing daily--even in my roughest days.
pwede na pala post ng video, now ko lang nakita https://lemmy.world/post/905561
Took me a while to figure out what you were trying to say. Akala ko Ghost PI yung needed, nasa main post pala haha.
Speaking of which, sana sa next update naka-auto-expand na yung photo/video sa post when you open the thread.
sa wefwef naka-autoplay and autoexpand na un video, sa orig lemmy site lang (not sure sa mga phone apps) di xa autoexpand
Sorry, meant sa desktop browser.
Sa Jerboa at Liftoff naka-auto expand din, although my OCD thinks it's annoying na pinapakita pa thumbnail sa post so the image shows up twice.
I'm curious: Meron ba sa inyo dito sa light/white theme ng Lemmy nagbo-browse? Hindi ko kasi siya ma-take. Sa Reddit white gamit ko pero dito sa Lemmy, the execution IMO isn't done well.
Edit: Also noticed that white tend to be laggy when scrolling.
I use lemmy in light theme pag umaga, dark theme pag gabi. Same habit with any app or website that I use
Sabi nga nila once you go
blackdark mode, you never go back.Lemmy's dark mode is not really dark. More than grey mode, and somehow I prefer the light one on both mobile and desktop browser.
The new Lemmy version has a full black mode now! Just found out today. Won't be using it, but thought you should know.
Nagloloko ang lemmy.world sa Chrome kahit nag-clear cache ako at gumamit ng incognito. I'm currently using Firefox at the moment.
Are you on mobile? I having better luck browsing with apps that use the API.
I'm using my PC. Lemmy is working on my phone using Jerboa and Connect, but last night I've experienced errors before the server upgrade.
Same. Web client is laggy...
I'm feeling pretty sad that Twitter is getting worse and worse after every update. Smaller content creators, aside from their discord, would use Twitter primarily to reach out to their community or get discovered by others who haven't seen them yet and you didn't even need Twitter Blue to make that happen. I wonder how this limit is going to affect artists as well who hustle through that website. :<
Onto other news, I hope everyone has a happy rest of their weekend ♥
Still waiting for MKBHD's reaction on this one.
bat xa specifically?
Reference 1
Reference 2
Most tech reviewers are using Twitter.
hmm waiting for part 3
Nakikipagsabayan si John Arcilla kina Jona, Lara Maiuge at Jed Madela?😲
May alam ba kayong repair store (kahit hindi authorized) na kaya magreplace ng battery sa Sennheiser na headphones? Sinubukan ko yung sa listahan sa website nila pero mukhang di na updated, sabi ng Power Mac Center di na sila nagseservice ng Sennheiser products
Try Ed's Headphone Repair. Not sure nga lang if he does batteries, but he was able to fix my Westone 4s a while back.
Thanks!
NGL it feels good to be able to touch grass this Sunday morning again sa Marikina Heights.
Yo fellow Marikenyo and yes, It certainly feels great. Marikina really feels like a city-province hybrid and it's also clean!
Nung inupdate tong .world at nag oopen ako new tab naka logout ako kahit nag login na ako dun sa isang tab...
Ano🤸🏼♀️ba talaga🤸🏼♀️mga beshie🤸🏼♀️
This happened to me earlier too. What I did was open
lemmy.worldon another tab and logged in there directly. So far okay na.nakakain na ba kayo ng kiss me quick?
Does anyone here na pinanganak at lumaki sa Pinas who consider those diaspora people na "Pinoy lang kapag convenient" as someone who is culturally appropriating our country?
In my opinion, there are some similarities between the two but are they essentially equal with each other?
tapos nadin ang upgrade ng lemmy
Stage 2!!!
Lets go!!!
200 km.. shet..how do you do fellow kids
May tanong ako sa car wash magkano typically para ayusin ang scratches ng kotse? Gusto ko lang maghanda lang kung mahal ang presyo.
normally sa insirance 3k per panel.. syempre depende sa laki...
di na yan sa carwash... more on repaint or detailing na yarn..
Depende kasi sa lalim ng scratch. Kasi kung mababaw lang, pwede makuha sa rub on products. Pero kung malalim na masyado, repaint na yan.
Scratches are permanent. Paint job na yan, pero depende sa presyo (repaint + buffing)
may gumagamit ng jerboa? nagswitch ako sa liftoff dahil sa server version incompatibility
Yup, using it now. Liftoff naman tinotopak sa akin ngayon.
Bumalik ako sa Jerboa from Liftoff after the update ng lemmy.world. Buggy yung Liftoff for me at the moment.
Testing lang kung mabilis na mag comment.
Edit: In fairness, may improvement.
Yup noticeable improvement!
Ewan ko lang kung humina traffic today pero mas mabilis siya compared to yesterday. Baka yung update nga siguro ang nakatulong.
Task completed
ah kala ko mod ka
Another day of wait lang paano ba magreply from the notifications ng liftoff app wala ata akong makitang reply button unless pumunta ako sa website thread itself. Wala akong energy mag mess around, gusto ko lang mag blah blah blah dito and bukas uli ganon
Anyway I'm going back to the waters again, I wanna go swimming and kayaking and diving~~ I am excited 😁 parang nagising ang will to go out and enjoy life ko. What if lumipat na lang ako sa Batangas? I think I can find work there jk.
Gusto ko din mag island hopping and hiking kaso yeah, baka iwanan ako ng kasama ko sa pagod (I'm sorry).
I won't go crazy in consideration sa kasama ko, but if you really left me alone...baka san talaga ako mapadpad hahaha. I have a decent sense of direction. Personally, as long as may baon akong water and protein and carbs I'm all good 🤩
spinning icon yun reply button after submitting comment, pero pagka-refresh ng page lumulitaw naman. dami issue ako napansin
pabo testing...
New discovery:
If you're on desktop and want a wider look, no need to install the Greasemonkey script anymore! Just go to user Settings and set Theme to "xx Compact" (light or dark depending on your preference).
Will update the RD moving forward as well as the Welcome thread to reflect this new UI change.
