Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is your “I fucking hate this song” song?
Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud
Favorite ko yung ending song ng Mojacko dati. Started to hate it nung ginawa ko siyang alarm sound sa umaga. Simula nun, di na ko gumamit ng gusto kong kanta as alarm or ringtone.
Price tag by whoever sang that stupid song.
tatsbytats
Pusong bato tsaka yung Buko ba yun. 🙄
Imahe - Magnus Haven. It’s a great song, but I hate it because of how much it hurts when I listen to it. 😂
Paubaya - Moira dela torre
parang lahat ng kanta sa genre niya ay nahihirapan akong pakingan… mas lalo akong tinatamad… hahaha

Rebecca Black’s Friday, but only because I was subjected to such inhumane torture by former workmates by (sarcastically) blasting this on a Friday, every week, for ~20 weeks (The horror). Parang feel ko naging si Dwight ako sa the office na napavlovian response ng negative feeling sa music. Okay naman sya by itself as a song, but the experience behind the song kinda made me hate it.
Also, sa category ng “I never fucking thought I’d love this song”, it was Nickelback’s Photograph. LMAO.
Any Adele Song… My Family plays it all the time!!!
My brother sent this to me early in the morning while he was asleep. I guess the chat client transcribed his snores, ROTFLMAO.
Least privacy invasive text/messaging app in existence, BTW tried liftoff and it’s smoother and faster and no trackers and ads whatsoever based on ClassyShark3xodus
WTH is going on Internet?! Reddit’s API killed 3rd party apps and now Twitter is limiting views for a day?! This could be a gain for other platforms like Facebook, then again Facebook sucks! Even if this happens, this will not make me reactivate my FB! Messenger na lang kailangan ko sa kanila.
Kahit naman FB hindi rin accessible content nila unless logged in ka.
The platform that benefits from this is actually Bluesky and Mastodon. But idk, Mastodon had a chance last year when the third-party apps got killed, but failed to make much headway mostly because of a combination of UX issues, lack of serious adopters (laki rin kasi ng kita from tweets), and negative campaigning.
TFW di maka sign up sa Bluesky
They closed registrations kasi madami raw signups kahapon as a result of Elon’s antics, lol.

4 foreigners nabbed for disrespecting Philippine flag – PNP
On behalf of the r/PH’s moderator team, we sincerely apologize for the actions of our fellow foreigners.
Happy Sunday sa lahat! Hope everyone’s doing well.
Just want to ask if anyone has an idea how much a mitral valve replacement cost (mechanical)? Ang initial quote sa amin is ~700k sa may Heart Center (semi-private package). Pero say, on the safe side, base on experience, mga magkano kaya talaga aabutin na need itake into account? Thank you!
No worries na po dito - mga ~100k+ daw po or more pa. Thank you!
No wonder why Twitter is down. I’ll be happy if people leave the site for good.
It would be nice if we could presuade more significant organizations to set up their outlets elsewhere. Twitter was the place to be for info afterall.
Sana bumenta yung Mastodon. Kaso kahit ako naguguluhan, haha.
This is apparently why: Twitter is DDoSing itself
Ganda ng bagong UI mejo parang old reddit HAHAHAH nakakatuwa
if only the spacing was similar too. still feels like new.reddit.com.
Medyo may pagka OG Friendster din sa pag le layout or customize ng community eme
“Makdo hmmm my favorite”
Testing comment lang po kung mabilis ba
In an update, he said rate limits would soon increase to 8,000 for verified users, 800 for unverified and 400 for new unverified.
From 600 tweets, ngayon 800 tweets na ang daily limit. It seems ginagawang prepaid load ang Twitter kung ilang tweets ang nababasa per day. In other words, Twitter apartheid ang dating.
halata nagtitipid sila, ano kaya meron? dahan dahan na downfall
Nothing big. Just pure greed pretty much.
may utang pala sila sa Google - https://lemmy.world/post/927640
Nagka-outage kagabi at maraming users ang hindi makapag-access ng Twitter lalo na sa mobile app. Until now, nagloloko pa rin ang Twitter app.
yun iba palal lumilipat sa bluesky - https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/1/23781417/bluesky-halted-sign-ups-joining-twitter
Apparently dahil daw sa kantangahan ni musk. Yung effect daw ng pagpilit nila na kailangan nakalog-in para makakita ng posts ay parang nagDDoS attack ang twitter sa sarili niya.

Elon Musk says Twitter will limit how many tweets users can read
1000 tweets/day na ang limit.
Looks like the
lemmy.worldupdate was a success. We now have the new UI and I’m guessing it’s compatible with Jerboa.Edit: I like the smaller fonts, but I don’t see the point of an English icon and the upvote ratio adjacent to the post time.
Confirmed na Jerboa is working again! Made this post using the app.
Just happy di na nagauauto populate ang feed. I can finally read the articles in “All.”

Is Jerboa the best Lemmy client? I’m using Summit for Lemmy.

Toss-up between Jerboa and Liftoff IMO. But Liftoff has issues with
lemmy.worldright now.
Marahay na morning sa lahat!!!

Nasa GMA7 si Awra sumasayaw?
Would like to apologize to @megane-kun for not being able to respond sa sleep stuff kasi nag comment ako and boom nautot si Lemmy hindi nag register ung reply ko. Forgot about it until now so bawi bawi na lang me lmao.
As with all advice, please do take these points with a grain of salt and YMMV.
- Avoid all tech 1 - 2 hours before bedtime: This was EXTREMELY hard for me, because reddit and emails. I slowly wean myself off by: using f.lux for desktop and I believe may mobile version (paid nga lang) to get rid of blue light. Personally the setup worked for me, parang bigla na lang nag register sa brain ko na ey it’s time to cool down.
1.1 Kung hindi makaletgo ng devices, just make sure lahat ng scrolling/socmedding is not on your bed: Basically, reclaim mo lang ung kama mo as a place for
naughtinesssleeping and not a place for scrolling. I can say that this surprisingly worked for me.-
Last meal 2 hours before bedtime - YMMV, because pag tinamaan ka talaga ng gutom poutain tlaga. But I find na mas ready ako for sleep.
-
In relation to 1.1, have some sort of an evening routine. Let this routine register in your mind na “ah, I’m doing x routine, therefore I must get ready to sleep”. It is unnoticeable sa simula, but once you get the habit in, sleeping will be slightly easier. I believe si James Clear mentioned this as sort of “chaining” your habits. I.e. parang Street fighter combo, but to put you to sleep instead.
Said routine can be anything (basta wag masyado active ang requirement for brain and body): Preparing a cup of tea, preparing the plate, opening a pack of biscuits (pwedeng fita to digestibles also random lang baket digestibles ang tawag ng British lol). If it has become a formed habit, the very stimuli (ung amoy ng tea, the opening of the package, etc.) parang dahan dahan kang tinetease to go to bed. Sorry di ko ma explain pero basta para syang nag ttriger ng kaantukan mo. Syempre wag ung scrolling na habit, make it something tech-free.
- ASMR - YMMV. It has worked for me before, but now, parang nag heheckle ung utak ko pag nakakanood ako ng intentional asmr (pre, pinapatulog mo lang ako pre d na ako mabibiktima yan, said the brain to the idiot who couldn’t sleep).
Nag transition ako to unintentional ASMR, then to Radio Garden, which is basically radio surfing for pure talk shows, and doze away. I find that the more unfamiliar the language, the better, kasi you can’t really process what they’re saying and you kinda doze off.
So ayun. This has helped me at least. I hope it helps someone out as well.
Be assertive with your sleep schedule mga phlemmings, your body will thank you for it. Paglaban mo rin naman paminsan-minsan sarili mo, wag lang ibang tao hehe.
EDIT: Formatting.

Actually speaking of phones, naalala ko may parang “Safe mode” or sleep light mode something ung ibang mga phones. Everyone should have this on and get used to it slowly. At least may free alternative.
Hahahaha~ No worries. I actually kinda forgot about it myself.
Thanks for the tips! It’d be helpful to others as well.

This is what my doctor told me as well. Not using those exact same words, ofc, but roughly the same sentiment. I was having a really rough time with sleep before (even got to a point when I was basically operating on a variable, non-24 hour cycle). The advice they gave me basically boiled down to: “whatever you do, keep a schedule.”
One of those, uh, questionable routines I’ve started having is using the phone on the bed as part of my bedtime routine. I usually surf the internet on the desktop, and when I transition to the phone, it’s usually in the context of “yeah, nagpapaantok lang ako.” Surprised pikachu face naman ako after a few hours and I find myself still awake, lol!
What I found to be a lot better is simply wash my face, brush my teeth, and then take off my eyeglasses and actually lie in bed. And only to lie in bed when I’m ready to sleep.
Keep a schedule.
Additional tip: make sure ung schedule mo is not a tyrannical taskmaster, meaning parang pagkakita mo lang sa planned schedule mo you hear whipping sounds of slavery at least yun ung nabasa ko lmao. Make sure it is a schedule, but make sure na you freely go along with it, and not made resentful by it. Goldilocks lang (the story, not the bakeshop ba dum tss)
Yep! I learned that the hard way.
A good rule of thumb that I ended up following is to “plan for your worst day.” This means that if I were to make a commitment to do something everyday, I should make sure that I can actually do it even on the days I couldn’t be bothered to do anything. Not only does it make sure that I can actually do it (and hence, form a habit), it also forces me to prioritize the things I actually want to do.
Another rule of sorts I picked up is “a moment is roughly 20 minutes.” The way I see it, it means that there’s no use micromanaging my day down to the minute. I normally just divide my day into at most three chunks: morning, afternoon and evening, and then allot at most two things (appointments, errands, etc.) per chunk. That way, I won’t feel hurried or pressured for time.
But yeah, the main idea is not to make a schedule so oppressive I’d actually feel resentful at it, as you’ve said, but to make sure that it has the things I can commit myself to doing daily–even in my roughest days.
