  • Importante pala talaga yung labor unions. Kahit hindi ka member or union yun sa ibang kumpanya, may mapapala ka pa ding mabuti indirectly.

    Kaya siguro nahahanash si Sara sa mga union ng mga teachers.

  • Just want to give a shoutout to decadentrebel for their recommendation on where to have headphones repaired. Looks like I'll be able to use my wireless headphones again after its battery bloated. I'll have to make sure I charge these more carefully next time.

    • Good to hear he was able to resolve it! Wasn't sure if he handled battery-related issues.

      • Kailangan yata ireplace ang battery, so I think it was a relatively easy fix. Medyo mahal lang nga ang replacement battery huhuhu.

  • Masarap talagang gumising nang 9:30 am after eight hours of sleep for the first time in a week. Ang sama ng sleep cycle ko before

  • Na-compromise pala account ng isang admin. Buti mga minor defacement lang ginagawa and not some big time malicious stuff.

    Sa Lemm.ee na lang muna ako, haha.

  • New post by lemmy.world regarding defederating from Threads. Seems to be authentic, I doubt the hacker is that eloquent.

    • GIven what I know of the timeline of the attacks so far, this seems legit. It also is consistent with the overall tone and content of the post they've made earlier.

      I am still disappointed about their response, especially this part:

      Embrace, extend, and extinguish (EEE) - We don’t think they can. If anyone can explain how they technically would, please let us know. Even if Meta forks Lemmy and gets rid of the original software, Lemmy will survive.

      That seems like a wilful attempt at not addressing this issue. They just don't think it will happen, no justification, and then throwing the burden of providing justification to the other side. It also sidesteps the glaring issue that EEE is not something that is solely technical (standards, etc.). For example what is going to stop Meta from just forcing their way into changing the standards to their own will, justified that they have the biggest share of the Fediverse by number of users?

      Besides, no amount of "you don't understand xyz" ever would allay people's fears. People, rightly, are fearful of Facebook, aka Meta. What's their answer to that fear? Telling that people have nothing to fear about? How about telling people why it is nothing to be fearful of?

  • To those having problems logging on sa lemmy.world, mukhang oks na. Clear niyo muna cookies ulit (specifically for lemmy.world), then try signing in again. Sa akin okay na, even when opening links.

  • Ang weird accessing this from a different instance... 8 comments pa lang nakikita ko.

    • Which instance? Lemm.ee is usually just a second behind when synching with World.

      • I'm using discuss.online. Maiba naman 😄 Can't post using my lemmy.world account.

        From my view earlier, there was only this day's RD post and only 8 comments in it. Now there are about 4 posts in the community and the RD for today has 60 comments. Baka may delay lang magreplicate (is that the right term?).

        At gumawa lang ba ng copy sa discuss.online dahil nag sub ako sa community? So di pala automatic na may copy lahat ng instance agad

        Edit: Can't post from Lemmy.world account

    • It's a quirk of federation. You can only access and interact with you instance's local copy of a post from another instance. You won't see updates from other instances until the data has synchronized.

    • view from lemmy.world

    • Isa pang weird na napansin ko, kapag nag edit ng comment, yung original comment pa din ang makikita sa Mastodon.

    • View from discuss.online

      • Bug lang yata ito ng Connect. Ok naman yung view using Jerboa. Kaso di ako makacomment using Jerboa.

  • Spent most of the weekend just playing Divinity Original Sin 2. I played the first game but got bored with it at some point. I don't even remember much about the story. The sequel on the other hand felt more engaging and having an option to start with pre-made character is actually a plus. I can see why there's excitement over the developer (Larian Studios) working on Baldur's Gate 3.

    • I started up a new play though of Divinity 2 also. I'm playing Beast. Never played his story before.

      I'm looking forward to Baldur's Gate 3 also. Larian really knows how to make a great game.

  • Looks like Lemmy is getting hacked. Use an app to access Lemmy for now, it seems that's not affected.

    • I thought it was odd how I can't find the lemmy favicon on my browser tabs. But it looks like they've started reverting the changes made.

  • Mukhang hindi na talaga nag-reflect dito yung pinost ko dito via /u/@megane_kun@kbin.social.

    Kita ko naman siya from Kbin, pero hindi ko siya makita from Lemm.ee or from Lemmy.world.

    Strange.

    Tapos palaisipan pa rin sa akin yung nabanggit dati na mahirap maka-reply sa lemm.ee accounts dito.
