Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What was very popular in 90’s but almost non-existent now?
Betamax/VCRs, CDs, cassettes, rewritable and recordable discs, floppy disks, video game cartridges.
I still see blank VHS tapes being sold at Landmark. I have no idea why, although it makes perfect sense why that stock isn’t moving.
Setting and planning activities for the coming weeks with no instant messaging. Also just visiting your friends’ house whenever.
Pupuntahan nyo yung bahay ng kalaro para sunduin, tas tatawagin mo yung pangalan, extended yung huling pantig. Sampol:
pangalan ng kalaro: Erning.
Sisigaw ka sa harap ng bahay: Erniiiiiiii~iing
Wallet-sized physical photos.
Di ko alam kung sa school or area lang namin, pero uso before yung studio pics ng barkada. Usually after exams maaga dini-dismiss yung students, so diretso sa mall after and isa yun sa mga madalas puntahan.
I used to store mine in casette tape cases and may mga ilan din akong napuno.
Photo studios nowadays are aiming towards occasions/parties na lang. Unlike before na kahit saang Kodak branch, may maglilinya mapa-bata o matanda.
And dang, may photo booth pa sila dati, eh.
Crank/prank calling back when landlines were still commonplace
Map of literacy rates per municipality according to the 2020 census. If the vast majority (1508/1634) are above 90% literacy, is it worth it?
Edit: Is it also worth it to post such huge-ass, 1:1,000,000 maps on Lemmy?
Edit: Made it 1:2,000,000 , and added a legend and per-province map.
For a moment I thought it’s representing low literacy rates because of all the red.
Yes, which is why it isn’t recommended to use reds often to represent data as it has a negative connotation by default. Source: I do mapping, cartography, and gis work.
But would you recommend blue to red if you wanted to highlight, say, towns which are more Kapampangan speaking?
I don’t recommend it. Generally, you would want to use one hue for low to high values of sequential data but you can use 2 hues to increase contrast (e.g., light blue to dark blue, light yellow to blue). Blue and red are opposing colors and is more used as diverging scales where there are neutral tones (and values) in the middle (e.g., negative values, zero, positive values; blue-pale yellow-red). Here’s a nice resource on color schemes, https://colorbrewer2.org
Bwiset na admin fees. Ang mahal na nga movie tickets, padagdag ka pa. Oppenheimer better be worth it!
LieMAX ba? O regular lang?
Regular lang. Fake yung iMax print na ipapadala eh.
Damn, I was hoping if tickets are still available by the weekend screening but I couldn’t be bothered signing up for their online services.
Ever feel like 2 days off is not enough?
4-day work week when
Nung nag-umpisa lumuwag yung lockdown, we started with a 9am-2pm schedule. It was a temporary measure and often it felt like there was not enough time to finish my tasks. But it gave me enough time to take a 1-2 hour nap while leaving me some hours more for a bit more work and leisure.
Yeah. It’s really not enough… 😔
kahit siguro 3 or 4 days na off di pa rin sapat… lalo na mababa sahod…
Not enough. Yung Saturday mo is to recuperate from your work from Mon - Friday (assuming a normal M-F, Weekends off schedule), Sunday is for leisure or for some faith, and then fun, kaso nga lang rushed lagi etong mga lakad ng Sunday because you need to get ready for Monday.
4 day work week may be a possible solution kasi may Rest Day, Gimik Day, and then prep day assuming ung hours for the 5th day of work are spread over to the other 4, or some other form of making up the 5th day through the other 4 days.
Pustahan dadami ang mga anti-basketball posts sa kabila kapag FIBA World Cup na
Haha, same old talking points na maliit daw tayo when the game is getting less reliant on size and more on all-around skill.
Did they not watch the 2015 WC when the entire lineup beyond Blatche was 6’4" and below?
One Sports just announced they will air the FIFA Women’s World Cup, at least for the Philippines matches.
Good news for my dad who’s into women’s football more than the mens. For his sake, they should air the entire WC run regardless if it has the Malditas (or Filipinas as they are now called lol).
Yeah, would be good to see more matches than just the Filipinas matches for the FWWC
Hello. As part of a research project, my group from Mapua University will be providing a survey about the Metaverse and Filipinos’ cybersecurity habits on Web 3.0. Please avail of it and fill it in:
11:11✨ make a wish 🥺👇
lemmy.world status updates didn’t show any info on the prolonged downtime that happened earlier. Weird.
I wasn’t even aware that .world has some serious downtime
Usually happens late at night (our time) when there’s not much activity. On Saturday, it was caused by a DDoS attack. Not sure what was the reason for Sunday which was longer and went up to 1am.
Surprised you can post using this account. I can’t even load .world right now.
i switched to world just now, mukang si ee naman ang may issue
Damn, looks like Lemmy is being targeted regardless of instance.
baka tamad mag-update admin nila
Nagbalik ang mga daga after so many years. I’m not a fan of poison because they just end up dying somewhere and stinking up the place. I also don’t like glue bait since I’m not “man” enough to execute them once trapped.
So, I’m trying a new approach. Just placed an order for an electronic bait after reading up on it and watching videos. Sana effective.
Meow?
Redid the literacy map with @mr_m00 's recommendations. Personally, I don’t like using gradients for this; there is not much differentiation between the 90s and the 80s except the kind of green. I would still prefer the rainbow scheme more; at least there is so much color differentiation. I would just reverse the palette like so (although I do admit the blue is too dark to show borders):
(On second thought, the red-blue scheme can be applied here, as this is just percentages)
What’s the difference of teddit.net to tedd.it?
I saw this in lemmy.world frontpage. tedd.it is shutting down.
TL;DR:
Teddit is an open source software intended as an alternative front-end to reddit. It doesn’t use an API (hence why you can only view it), but it still connects to reddit in order to present content. That means reddit can still implement restrictions to the servers hosting teddit.

Gotta let the feeling show
My main phone (One Plus 6T) would be 5 years old by December. And I still don’t feel like replacing it yet. Problem though is that I can’t find a good protective case for it now that the current case is slowly falling apart.
Medyo wary ako dun sa cheap looking cases due to bad experience. But you reminded me that I actually still have that Spigen case on my cart. I was still holding on the possibility that I could find it locally but I might end up completing the purchase at Amazon.
Mga manufacturers kasi hindi na gumagawa ng mga case para sa specific model nasa tatlong taon pataas. Kaya ako, kapag may bagong phone ako, bibili ako ng tatlong case at tempered glass bago dumating ang mismong unit

Yeah. In hindsight I should have gotten an extra case when I bought the current one back in 2020. But honestly, I didn’t even think I’d still keep using the phone until now.
Spigen’s official Shopee store doesn’t have it? That’s usually where I get cases for phones that are more than 5 years old.
That’s where I got my current case back in 2020 but all they have now is just the tempered glass.
Inulam talaga ang munggo
