    I was bored/procrastinating on some work.

    It’s not really an in-depth thing, I just used Lemmy’s search capability and took note of the number of responses and the number of deleted responses. I added the number of responses with the number of deleted responses (a negative number for new responses, a positive number for new responses is ignored). I did it for both Lemmy.world and Lemm.ee and took the average. For the smoothed out version, I just took the exponential moving average with the following factors:

    • sampling frequency = 1 day
    • average age (ϰ)= 7 days
    • EMA factor (α) = 1/(ϰ+1) = 0.125

    That is, I am trying to smooth the values accounting for weekly variability in activity.

    I guess I could have ignored the spike in activity during the Reddit blackout, but it seems that the smoothing took care of that quite well.

    EDIT: Replaced chart image with a one that has a black background for legibility for people using light mode.

    SMNI News’ YouTube channel got terminated. The red-tagging channel “Laban Kasama Ang Bayan” (named after the SMNI show with Lorraine Badoy) also got terminated on YT as well.

    Someone made a thread the other day suggesting that r/PH switch to NSFW. This article explains what we already know and why it’s a bad idea:

    Reddit demands moderators remove NSFW labels, or else…

    Contrary to popular belief, we’re not scared of being stripped our moderator duties… BUT it is a bad thing for the sub if they appoint AI mods or just any applicant that may or may not be from a troll farm.

    Edit - Apologies for bringing r/PH drama again 🤪

      if they appoint AI mods or just any applicant that may or may not be from a troll farm.

      Nakakatakot if the Reddit admin appoint these kinds of people as mods such as:

      • the notorious anti-vaxxer mod sa phclassifieds
      • Sakundes
      • DDS/Marcos apologist a la Truther
      • Redditor who has a eugenics fetish
      • MRA/MGTOW na nagkakalat sa isang satirical sub (na obviously not satirical ang mga posts niya)

      What they appear to be doing is asking for volunteers. Check the mod code of conduct account’s posting history. That would be a disaster for r/ph. Imagine if certain people there became mods.

    So, uh yesterday was reported by Yahoo! Australia to be the world’s hottest day of all time.

    Friederike Otto, a German climate scientist based in Britain, was quoted (in the above news article) to say that this is a “death sentence for people and ecosystems”, and that we should expect more records to be broken in the coming months/years, in a negative way.

    Well, shit. Better save up for the a/c and fans people. Hotter days lie ahead.

    Edit: Clarity. Edit 2: Yestereday to yesterday.

    I keep thinking about it, my best guess is I got stung by a jellyfish kaso di ko kasi nakita and not knowing is even more annoying 😒 basta walang kakamot is the rule lol

    I can really only deduce based on what I got. Either way, I still like jellyfishes. Next time mag full suit na lang ako.

    Madami akong natututunan for my beach trip. One could call it a vacation, but I thought it was pretty productive too.

    Next time baka try ko matulog sa hammock just so I can save on accomodation💲jk. I think I’ll seriously try it pero solo trip hahaha. Tapos kapag di ko kinaya pasok na lang ako and try to upgrade to an actual bed.

    I wanna try things.

    Nearly a month ago I requested for my reddit data and I just got the file today. A few notes:

    • It has all my comments since 2011. But a large part of it is unavailable on the actual site if I take a look at my profile.
    • Most of the data is comprised of my comments (around 15000+), posts (almost 200), upvoted/downvoted comments, upvoted/downvoted posts, etc.
    • IPs used to access the site are logged for about the last 3 months or so.

    I’ve been a Spotify subscriber for over a decade now, and realized they removed the “Select All” option for library editing.

    So katatawag ko lang sa PSA, at ang available lang na public use files from the 2020 Census ay for Form 2 (warning: document will auto-download).

    Ano nga ba ang nasa Form 2?

    • Sex
    • Age
    • Birth registration
    • Marital status
    • Religious affiliation
    • Citizenship
    • Ethnicity
    • Functional difficulty (aka disability)
    • Residence of mother at time of one’s birth (proxy for birthplace)
    • Residence five years ago (previous census in 2015)
    • Literacy
    • Educational attainment
    • Overseas worker
    • Type of residence building
    • Number of floors
    • Construction materials of building
    • State of repair
    • Year of construction
    • Size of building
    • Tenure status
    • Land ownership
    • Presence of operator in any agricultural activity (kung farmer ba or fisherman etc.)
    • LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME
    • Residence five years from now (2025)

    Anyway, kaka-email ko lang din ng data request sa PSA, and hopefully ma-grant kaagad (even if it requires visiting PSA itself like I did in 2017 – malaki-laki rin ang mga ito)

    Flashback Friday courtesy of an r/PH post:

    I forgot that this thing existed and how incredibly useful it was. I used it to track MRT traffic before leaving the office. Duterte apparently re-routed the budget so they had to kill it.
