It’s actually more of we’ve probably passed it already. You only see how many people from the same instance subscribe to the communities you’re in. Not sure how to check the total (how many are subscribed from all instances) though.
This is from r/OffMyChestPH pleading people not to post screenshots of their posts on their subreddit.
Anon for a reason
It's not anonymous, but rather, pseudonymous.
Fun Fact: Walang safe space sa public Internet.
If you overshare = you are doxxing yourself.
Once you post something on a public forum, regardless if it's Facebook, Reddit, Lemmy, Mastodon, it's outside of your control.
unless you have permission from the op, do not share it in other social media platforms especially
fb that has the highest audience.
The average pinoy fb user does not give a f-ck/sh-t about copyright/DMCA, so these f.ckng CTTOs, PTPAs are very commonplace on FB.
Before even bringing up copyright/DMCA, be aware that there are sites (bulletproof hosting) hosted in countries with very loose copyright enforcement that ignore DMCA altogether.
Tip: Do not use your main account when venting about your problems (hence the name "offmychest") or unloading your burdens online. Get something like a throwaway just for that.
To all workers (WFH'ers, digital nomads, normal workers, etc.), students, and anyone who really just wants to have a more chill study/work environment,
I've come across lofi.co, which has a free version, a paid ($2.99) version, which basically offers you more visual stuff to help calm you down.
If you're tired of staring at Lo-Fi girl or Synthwave boy on Newpipe/Vanced and want a change of scenery, this is probably a good way to go. Try it free first, and I'd like also suggestions if anyone knows a few good sites/apps similar to this.
Have a chill evening mga Phlemmings, may we all find that sweet spot of chilness in our respective corners of the globe.
EDIT: Link. Also thanks 8rhn6t6s!
EDIT 2: Apparently you can use playlists from spotify too and you can choose between Jazz, Chill or Sleep themed playlists. Sadly, sound effects are limited to around 3 or 4 with the free version.
Ang late night thoughts ko ay ang panget ko sa passport ko 🤦♀️ tapos yung camera pa nila pang dlsr pa pero auto pindot lang. Kinda seems like a waste for its usage, sana magandang quality webcam na lang gamit nila. Ang clunky at heavy pa just to mount it on the side of a wall. It looks out of place.
Malay ko ba Pilipinas. Parang pagod na rin ako, migrate na lang tayo. I've been learning german lately, might be useful in the future 🤷♀️
same here. mukha rin akong siopao sa ibang govt issued ids ko. why do their cameras have that rounding/flattening effect? or sadyang iyan talaga ang katotohanan. hahahaha
It's a bad combination of using a camera lens with a wider focal length and the distance of the camera to the subject. Yung national ID ko papunta na sa fisheye lens distortion.
Nung wala pa satellite offices and sa DFA lang pwede mag-renew/apply ng passport, naloko ako sa labas ng mga fixer dun na hindi raw tatanggapin photo ko kasi hindi daw tugma sa prescribed blue background. Ayun, I managed to have an even worse picture than my studio ID photo.
The Law on Obligations and Contracts
The Law on Income Taxation
I believe these two should be part of Gen. Ed. subjects in college. Mas may pakinabang sa ordinary people than science subjects (lalo na kung hindi naman science ang course mo).
Quite an old book, but The Broker by John Grisham is a novel I go back to from time to time. Everything was just very appealing to me: the pacing, the action, the details, the storytelling, the plotlines. It is not perfect, but it is good enough for me to get re-reading every now and then.
For a short story, it is The Bet by Anton Chekhov. This kinda solidified reading for me as a leisurely pursuit in my younger years, although R.L. Stine's Goosebumps really got me into reading in my toddler-ish years.
For Non-Fiction, Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning is a great read, as well as Atomic Habits by James Clear.
For something light and funny, I would recommend John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces. Now, the humor is a hit or miss, but it is entertaining to read.
F. Sionil Jose is a great local author I would want to recommend, as I am getting into reading Filipino Literature. I've only read one of the Rosales Saga series of novels, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to reading the rest of the series. Though I am not sure about the reading order.
Sinabi ko from my previous message na kahit na Twitter is getting worse, it won't make me return to FB.
Then Meta re-announced Threads again. Ok, I'll consider it.
If I can move from Reddit to Lemmy, I can do it again.
I know Mark isn't exactly a saint and I want Mastodon/Bluesky to succeed, but I just hate Elon so damn much that I hope this takes off and gives that shithead a rude awakening.
Some articles claim that they might support ActivityPub. Weird. But it could be a viable strategy to attract users from Mastodon or Misskey. Or it could be a way to reach the EU market as they seem to be having data privacy issues there.
Looking at the "map" (which is weirdly drawn, but on par with everything Barbie), the "nine-dash line" (which is actually eight) is a reach. I think Vietnam overreacted, and don't support any ban in the Philippines, and I'm not even a wumao.
Wtf? Will the kids (probably the targeted audiences of this film) notice it? Even myself, di ko mapansin. Modern audiences are too woke when it comes to these minuscule movie details, like this one, tapos connect-to-dot agad sa reyalidad, like come on son!
I'm speculating this frame, or "that map" will not affect the whole film's plot.
This is also my take as well. Same reason why I also didn't like Jolo's portrayal in Plane. It's not so much that it's fiction, a joke, and all that — but perception is reality.
That said, hindi ko pa naman napanood yung movie and it's unclear if those dashed lines are more like cartoony steps/directions. But if it's true that those are indeed the nine-dash line, I can see why people would like it banned — although against ako sa censorship or banning and do not support it at all.
Sanay na ako gumamit ng snorkel equipment 😆 kaya pala hirap ako dati kasi panget yung fit, now I understand the concept of sealing and breathing through the mouth shiz. Today practice lang ako but I think next time ready na ako mag snorkel tapos may pa-bangka pa.
I didn't want to go too far away from the shore dahil hindi ako familiar, baka may mangyari pa. But I saw some fishies and they were cute.
Tapos unli kayak ako. It's me and my kayak against the world 😩🤘 I'll wake up early and see how far I can go just around the island tapos may baon na rin ako ng food and water tapos dun na ako mag bbreak sa kayak lol.
I'd say sulit na yung binayad ko considering how long I was out. Na sunburn nga lang yung isang part ng katawan ko na hindi nalagyan ng sunscreen maigi. I did not think that would happen to me.
to those planning to move their accounts, try niyo rin smaller instances. i have an account in group.lt and wayfarershaven.eu. have not checked their blocklists but i have been able to subscribe to a lot of communities. never had a problem with lags etc.
Speaking of radio, I've checked the newly launched Brigada News FM on 105.1 (formerly Q Radio and Crossover) and it shows that there's a 10-15 second delay on its Batangas station on 104.7 during national programs when listening to both stations. At other times, they have different programs and music playlists. During test broadcasts last weekend, there were audio issues with 105.1 since their STL link was switched from the Q Radio studios in Quezon City to the Brigada studio in Makati. The transmitter is in Binangonan.
It's still there. I just unpinned it and restored the original title because it was initially intended to be a welcome wagon for rexxitors.
I made a new version that's more of a neutral welcome kit and reference material for anyone that joins. Not sure if I'll keep it locked or reopen it for people to say hi or something.
It's still available both in lemmy.world and lemm.ee. I don't know about other instances, but since this community is in lemmy.world, and the post is still there, it should still be accessible for all instances federated with lemmy.world.
It looked like they managed to address some performance issues after the upgrade. Impressive how they even managed to scale back to just using one container as well.
Ewan ko kung gaganahan akong manood ng newest episode ng Geography Now (USA na yung newest upload nila), lalo na't kagagaling ko lang sa call center job ko, being paid to speak with Americans for my entire shift. Pero good thing ngayon is avail kami today kasi nga Independence Day nila.
Nine-dash line allegedly showed up on a map in the movie. We've banned films that did that before (Abominable, Uncharted) so if it's true, Barbie is likely next.
