Today’s Ask PHlemmy: Which celebrity or public figure today would the world collectively mourn if they passed away?

Maybe a smaller collective “world”… Jolina Magdangal, because she has always been true and authentic.

(Obviously not a serious answer and my attempt tonight to be funny but yeah please forgive me dearest strangers. Good night too.)

Umayos na si lemmy.world

Editing took about one second

Not a fan of this new UI, haha. I prefer the smaller fonts.
So, you prefer using your lemm.ee version of decadentrebel?
Mostly for posting articles because the thumbnail used to show up when coursed through there. But it doesn’t appear to be working anymore.
If you are on Desktop, you can zoom out slightly by pressing [CTRL] + [-].
ayoko naman ng small fonts, ang hirap sa mata.
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.
AMAs are the latest casualty in Reddit’s API war - Lemmy.world

Big Lemmy server lemmy.world has put into production critical performance fixes from a runaway SQL query identified by analyzing pg_stat_statements output - and greatly reduced their server overload! - Lemmy.world

[https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/80acceb6-2c11-4e15-a250-bb777cd7c9ed.png] lemmy.world announcing to public that this is installed on their production server: https://lemmy.world/post/1061471 [https://lemmy.world/post/1061471]

kaya pala medyo mabilis ngayon

OK na si lemmy.world.

In the event na bumagal si lemmy.world (I mean, masakit gamitin just like before, dahil dumagsa yung mga galing sa Reddit dahil sa API changes), I’ll switch to the [email protected] version of my account.

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.

962 subscribers (lemmy.world) + 38 subscribers (lemm.ee) = 1,000 subscribers

Twitter removes login requirement for viewing tweets (via Ars Technica )

Quite a quick backpedal from Musk, and a quiet one too.

Twitter silently removes login requirement for viewing tweets - VLemmy

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.
Meta Threads is going to be Fediverse compatible. Meta taking a shot at Reddit? - Lemmy.world

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.
Salamat naman. Makes TW just marginally less annoying.
Nagbackpedal din yung rate limit shenanigans niya e kek
Musk has to eat some humblepie.

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 😭

Sa crook ng elbow? Doesn’t work as well without long sleeves but still doable.
Good morning, Enteng! Have a nice dayyyy
Good morning Ayel!
One winner bags Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot worth over P58.9 million | News |

It was the second consecutive day that a bettor hit the jackpot after a winner bagged the Lotto 6/42 top prize on Tuesday.

GMA News Online

Every time may mababalitang nananalo, sinasabi ko sa sarili ko na tataya ako kinabukasan.

Lagi ko nakakalimutan tumaya hahahaha

I ran this through mlmym (an old.reddit interface for Lemmy) and it doesn’t quite display right.

Matagal na kong di gumagamit ng Twitter pero naghanap ako kagabi ng alternative. Isa sa lumabas yung Counter Social. Mukhang promising. Encouraged yung new users to post an intro so I did tapos ang bait ng mga tao doon na nagreply at nag-welcome. Check out nyo rin.
If you haven’t tried it yet, check out Mastodon.
May Mastodon ako noong 2022 kaso dinelete ko na. Will give it a try ulit.
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.
Parang ayoko na ulit gumamit ng anything Meta. Wala na rin kasi akong fb and ig.
Gumawa ulit ako ng Mastodon account. Mukhang doon na lang ako. lol

L is for the way you look at me

O is for the only one I see

V is very, very extraordinary

Ang lungkot 🤸 ng beshie mo 🤸, kasi wala daw 🤸 Pfizer booster 🤸 sa Ayala Circuit 😐
Ang tagal ko nang di nakakagawa ng bagong kanta. Parang inspired ako ngayon magsulat at tumugtog. Sana may marecord ako before the week ends na kanta.

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.

kung matagal pa bago mo bilhin yung ideal watch mo, you can try looking at reputable watch repair shops that also sell used watches. they may carry decent models at a very low price. i got an automatic seiko from a repair shop in farmers mall. around 20% of the original price.
name ng repair shop sa farmers mall 👀 sige titingin ako hehehe

DW Segment on Italy’s ghost towns.

Pentadatillo (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.
