    Turning this to a monthly random discussion thread. The_Yaya is down and not really in the mood to create daily threads that have 2-5 posts each.

    It was painfully obvious that the revolution lasted for like one month, and I’m in the forefront of the butt end of all the jokes.

      Thank you for keeping the PH community alive here on lemmy kahit di malakas ang engagement. I’m considering using this same format sa communities na minomod ko, kasi basically 0 engagement din sa kanila

      At least you stood your ground. Yung iba galit kay spez pero puro salita lang haha.

      PH lemmy may not be as active as r/PH but there’s other communities naman na more active that you’ll able to praticipate in. For me, that’s good enough, I guess.

      Buhayin si lemmy.ph, a monthly thread would be somewhat depressing in my opinion. But I indeed might be the minority, having actively avoided all things reddit since the fiasco. I don’t think I’ve opened any reddit link for a month or so now, the only time I see reddit is through screenshots lol.

        I still go to Reddit at least every other day, albeit just as a casual reader and not a participant. It’s the only place where you can find answers to most questions, specifically obscure passions. Lemmy isn’t there yet.

          Lemmy still has a ways to go nga, what will hurt them a bit when it comes to attractiong new users is yung Section 4.0.2 nilang inimpose a few weeks ago inb4 there's some specific nuance(s) talaga as to why

        “She” is. Pero nagka-issue the last few days, coincidentally when yaya on Reddit also went down. I’ve been manually posting the RD threads during that downtime, which can be tiresome. Can’t be doing this every day every dawn.

          thanks for the dedication. guess it cant be helped that the discussion here is not comparable to reddit because we still are a very tiny group.

          the amount of material here is not as many but the garbage is not as widespread as well.

      It’s been a very slow burn, but thanks for keeping PH on Lemmy alive. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to bear the weight of the community’s longevity, though. Just as long as may pwede kaming puntahang alternative PH online community, okay na yun.

      At the moment, mas okay nga yung monthly thread until we hit a certain volume.

    Me: watching pinoy vlogger discussing digital banks

    Vlogger: hello mga ka-savings

    Me: onga naman, about savings ang topic XD

    so kung chess ang topic, tatawagin na “hello mga ka-checkmate” LOL

    FFAQ (Filipino Frequently Asked Question) #1: Bakit may pera ka pambili ng kotse pero wala naman parking?

    A: Kasi naubos na pera sa pagbili ng kotse na kailangan nila dahil walang pakialam ang gobyerno sa mga commuter. Wala sila parking kasi 2million sinisingil ni DCMI para sa slot, o kaya naman 5k/month ng apartment na inuupahan nila, or worse (like the case when we were still renting), wala talagang parking allotted - problema niyo na daw yan sabi ni landlord.

    Of course, hindi natin sinasabi na tama ginagawa nila or kinukunsinte natin. We’re just saying na there’s a reason behind it and by regurgitating this same old question again and again as well as agreeing with the legislators pitching “No Parking, No Car” bills, you are unwittingly supporting the uncreative and inutile politicos. Isama mo na rin mga wealthy who don’t have these problems because they can hoard vehicles to not be inconvenienced by whatever traffic management schemes concocted.

      as time goes by, parami nang parami ang mga sasakyan to the point matatagalan ang pagpasok ng isang kotse sa highway na used to be 30 secs tops waiting lang, ngayon more than a minute or two na, minsan five. i resent our being car culture,

        This circles back to the government. Bad transport breeds motorcycles and cars. Number coding schemes lead to more cars. Giving exemptions to those with purchasing power equals more cars, albeit better than fossil fuels I guess.

          our government let this to happen for decades. it’s disgusting. why we can’t have limit of car ownership for every household? why our transport system is so limited? why we don’t have proper parking spaces? are our roads future-proof?

            are our roads future-proof?

            No because one of the things they like to do is to “repair” the roads for kickbacks.

            Also, they don’t care about the transport systems because they don’t use them.

    POV ng hindi paborito:

    Minsan talaga ayoko buksan yung box ng regalo, yung tipong it’s the thought that counts na lang. May natanggap akong gift pero di ko bet (di ko style, di bagay sakin). Mas lalo pa kong nabitter kasi mas maganda yung sa iba.

    Sorry Lord, forgive my ungrateful heart.

    Wais ba mga pinoy YouTubers? I’m using LibreTube kasi may Sponsorblock, this is useful feature para ma-skip yun intro/ending credits or paid segments sa video. Pero this will only work kung si YT creator is ni-label nya yun mga segments ng video nya. Akalain mo bang mga Pinoy vloggers walang chapters kaya di effective sponsorblock.

      Sad lang walang LibreTube for iOS. Pero buti matiyaga akong gumamit sa web browser (Safari, Firefox Focus, DuckDuckGo) kaya doon ako nakaka YT/Piped/Invidious. Naka ad block mga vids sa Safari at FF sa device, pero ang catch hanggang 720p max resolution ng vids

        Pwede na 720p. Ang di lang comforting experience ko is madalas ako palit ng instance kasi minsan di naglo-load ang videos.

    1 week na lang December na, all I can feel that’s remotely relevant to the Christmas season is the cold air sweeping in from Siberia. I’m not feeling the spirit this year.

    Damn, I really hate the “other side.” Imbes na makipag-discuss at mag-expand, sasabihan ka pang dami mong alam, like damn, it’s progressively worse just like Facebook (PH). Kung maging crackhead man ako or something, I’m rather bubbling myself here on Lemmy (fediverse).
