    Nakita ko lang 'to dati sa random Reddit thread (from askReddit ata?) and it stuck with me since. Happy Tuesday, phlegmmings!

      I read it until the very end, but I’m still clueless as to what that thing you’re talking about is, lol!

      And now I’m afraid to ask.

    I think its time for this “sun” to set, and with it this account. The sun must set so that tomorrow’s sunrise will come.

    I have always loved you from the bottom of my heart, your flaws, your struggles, everything about you. When i learned new things about you, I fell more in love with you. I loved you for being you

    But alas, It has to come to this end. Even though you deleted all your messages, the pictures you sent. Those memories still live inside me and i will cherish those moments.

    I’m leaving this meme that i saw here too, it captures perfectly just how much i loved you

    Bye~~~

      Nope, option lang na magregister users ng isa pa account sa lemm.ee para gamitin dito sa phlemmy kasi medyo mabagal si lemmy.world right now.

      I still have my world account, but I will be going back there once from my lemm.ee account pag matapos na ang yakapang mahigpit na nangyayari ngayon sa lemmy.world.

      I would want to argue with myself in the future also.

    Someone brought up bailing from Twitter in the previous RD thread, and I quickly remembered how I would tweet just to keep myself entertained with the long queues. Wala pa ako mobile internet a long time ago so I’d have to send my tweets to a dedicated Globe number and they will post it. Parang old school telegram, lmao.

    This was a pic from one of my older tweets. Yung mala-isaw na pila ng jeeps sa North Avenue terminal.

    Edit: To be clear, this was a pic I took during that exact tweet. It wasn’t on the tweet itself since I obviously can’t upload images (nor did Twitter support it yet).

      I did this for Plurk back in the late 2000’s, but not that often since the amount of lag is just incredible (but defensively so). It’s a really nifty service back then though, posting through SMS, even if limited to just text.

    Ok guys pustahan time:

    If you had to bet on who would win between Elon Musk and Bryan Fury T-800 Mark Zuckerberg if the alleged throwdown would happen, and why would they win,

    Who would it be?

    Edit: Context

    • decadentrebelMEnglish
      7•1 year ago

      I’d go for Mark. He’s the lesser of the two evils, has MMA training, and took down two Armie Hammers.

          Huh? I think your reply got lost.

          But yeah, earlier, during my migration to a different instance, mejo mabilis ang lemmy.world.

      • @[email protected]English
        5•1 year ago

        I, too, personally lean towards the zuck. Also, if you would put down an actual betting amount (any currency). How much would you throw down lollol

        Lmao two Armie Hammers. Speaking of, what a fall from grace because of sexual allegations. I remember I read also somewhere on reddit that the nature of these sexual allegations were downright macabre (cannibalism fetish ata allegedly ung kay Armie), and that, according to the variety article, he’s totally broke and selling timeshares in Cayman Islands.

        In case anyone wants to know what timeshares are, John Oliver has a mealtime video (30 mins or less) explaining this concept.

          5•1 year ago

          You should watch the documentary, haha. There’s more detail to the fetishes and provides a background as to why he’s so fucked up (tl,dr: runs in the family).

      MKZ-3000, I mean, Mark Zuckerberg.

      Robot jokes aside, he’s just healthier, more fit, and better trained in martial arts.

        He’s got some cred to him too. So I hope Mr. Tesla is ready to get coiled into submission.

          Pero ang unang pumasok sa isip ko, cobra eh, lol! Well, sabi nga naman nila may lahing reptile si Zuck diba? It still fits somehow, kahit mejo pilipit.

    Parang naging default instance kasi ng most of those who join Lemmy ang .world, which dapat mag spread out between instances para hindi ma-strain yung capacity ng mga bigger instances. Kaya nga may federation. It’s not that hard to subscribe to a community from another instance naman. Most of the communities I’m subscribed to are not in lemm.ee but that’s the beauty of federation, I can still interact with the other instances while never actually leaving my instance. Siguro kailangan din natin i-direct and mga incoming users to other instances para ma share ang load between multiple instances. Just my 2 cents.

    • Dear FayeAEnglish
      5•1 year ago

      I definitely agree with this, but damn, the upkeep for having an instance of your own can be a strain on your server, though. We have a small instance of ours in order to subscribe to other instances (not just lemmy.world) and in a span of 4 weeks, the database got up to 6 gigs already… can’t imagine how much it would cost to have more than 15 users. Donations would have to be a default setup if people want a particular instance to keep running and not have it become like Reddit, and I understand better now why some have to pass a particular screening first.

      • theyawnerEnglish
        3•1 year ago

        Huh. I just realized how ActivityPub could be a double edged sword if I’m understanding it right. If you have 5 users in your instance who are all subscribed to the same community on another instance, then you’ll only need to store a single copy of that community in your instance. But if all 5 each have a different subscription, then you’ll be storing a copy of each community for all 5 users. The first scenario would be more efficient in terms of storage.

    • megane-kunEnglish

      I’m of the opinion that ideally, Lemmy.world can act as the assembly area for the new migrants. It gives them time to get a feel of the Threadiverse as a whole, without having to think about instances and federation and all that shit. Once they’ve gained more experience, or found an instance that better fits their needs, then they can go.

      However, given the amount of people pouring into Lemmy.world, I think that it might be a good idea to “randomly assign” an instance to them. That is, a number of small instances that are willing to take the load off Lemmy.world can group together to form a pool of instances that are then randomly assigned to those coming over from Reddit through a portal like a more newb-friendly version of https://join-lemmy.org/.

          in a span of 4 weeks, the database got up to 6 gigs already

          Exponential growth is scary! I sure hope instance admins, as well as Lemmy devs (and contributors, and others such as those who actively look for problems in the code), are already working on such problems. In the meanwhile, yeah, the amount of goodwill is just overwhelming as well, which I hope translates to more donations instance admins and Lemmy devs (and contributors).

          • Dear FayeAEnglish
            1•1 year ago

            Yes, there are actually a lot of developers helping with Lemmy! We have a Philippine admin from here who is helping out with Lemmy as well and conversing with the other helpers (hello, you know who you are!). It’s actually kind of exciting because there are so many people wanting to help out and make this a better place, and all the code is out there for people to see, understand, and improve on.

    Since we’re on the topic of moving between instances, I recommend this tool to migrate your subscribed communities from one instance account to another: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

    For those using linux, btw, you probably don’t have install Python3, as it’s likely already installed in your system. If you already have git installed, it’s even easier.

    Here’s what I did:

    • Go to whatever subdirectory you want to install lemmy_migrate on. In my case, it’s ~/Projects.
    • Go to the repository (linked above) and go to Code and copy the Git HTTPS link
    • Type git clone <url> where url is the link you copied in the previous step
    • Press enter to start cloning the repository
    • Go to the repository directory and edit the config.ini file, putting in your account details.
    • When ready, type python3 ./lemmy_migrate.py -c config.ini
    • Press enter to start the ‘migration process’.

    Tinitingnan ba ng recruiter ang expected salary sa jobstreet pag tatawagan? Last year kasi mababa lang ung expected salary ko tapos nung ginawa kong public ung profile ko, andaming tumawag. Ngayong mataas na, wala nang natawag.

    • decadentrebelMEnglish
      6•1 year ago

      My sister worked in recruiting - yes, they do. That doesn’t stop them from calling anyway, lol. They’re going to guilt-trip/“gaslight” you into accepting it.

        Hmmm… babaan ko na lang ung nakalagay sa Jobstreet at i-guilt-trip/gaslight sila para taasan. Haha
