This month’s Ask PHlemmy: What tv show never gets old to you?
The Simpsons. I find myself gravitating to it semi-regularly and the jokes still hold on many decades later.
sitcoms. B99, Community, 2 Broke Girls, some SNL skits, ABS CBN’s weeknight comedy shows (90s). watched some episodes recently and i found out bentang benta pa rin sa akin ang mga jokes despite the political incorrectness of some punchlines.
SpongeBob Squarepants’ earlier seasons. I love how laidback they are, from animations to music.
House, Community, Daria, Survivor (although admittedly, depende sa season)

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.

Kala ko bot si yaya, feeling ko automated xa. Ok lang monthly sakin basta buhay ang thread
“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.

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

but that’s for lemmy.world, I don’t think other lemmy instances don’t have such a rule, correct me if I’m wrong tho
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
Much better. Polluted ng RD posts itong community natin.

I’m in the forefront of the butt end of all the jokes.

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.

Baka pwede weekly thread plus the usual asklemmyph? Thanks for all you do here btw.

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.

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.
LibreTube | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Alternative frontend for YouTube with focus on privacy

My solution is not to watch pinoy youtubers. I use revanced
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.

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

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).
then don’t visit the other side
Parang VUL itong Discord kung maka-promote ng Nitro nila, lmao.
wala namang naitutulong ang nitro imo, though nung cheap pa nun at hindi pa nahati sa different tiers ang nitro i subscribed for maybe 2 months just for the heck of it. that’s why i know it ain’t worth it
I agree. Signed up last year when Globe had a promo for an annual plan and I don’t think nagamit ko masyado mga features niya other than being able to use reactions across channels, which quite frankly, shouldn’t cost anything. Kaya ngayon nangungulit sila and dangling 2-week trials. Never again.
I guess the badge, customized banners wallpapers and being able to use reactions across channels is perk enough for some to splash cash on it.

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.

May gift giving na? November pa lang ah.
Baka birthday gift? Happy birthday OP!
Ay, hindi po. Advance Xmas gift lang pero naka-move on na ko hehe
I am unamused by work. Especially when it’s supposed to be my weekend and I am forced to come in.
People still watch Miss Universe in this woke day and age??
Unfortunately most sheeple’s minds are still stuck in medieval times. Just take a look at our national election winners
TIL may Miss Universe ngayon.
Lumingon lang ako saglit, nginatnat ni catto earphones ko huhuhu.

10 more days to the end of November boys and girls apes together strong kek

ohnoes u mean my replies here would last a month uhh so let’s talk about hoe_math?

Jimmy Carter just outlived his wife, Rosalyn.
Yaw ko na maging Caviteño hahaha.
what’s wrong with cavite ba?
Dahil tapos na ang MU, tamang uninstall lang ako ng MU app.

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 kasi 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, wala talagang parking allotted. 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 inutile politicos and the wealthy.

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. 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 limit the 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.

what’s with youtube x firefox fiasco lately? i don’t see any delays.

danny devito naked

ಠ_ಠ

my current pc wallpaper…

Definitely may delay, ganito siya for a few seconds:

Pero parang naeexperience ko lang siya pag nagopen ako ng video sa bagong tab. Pag nagclick ako sa same tab, walang delay

I recently encountered this, siguro due to my connection. Ganito rin sa Google Chrome eh.
