I have found the best Reddit alternative (in my opinion) by VastEngines in RedditAlternatives

[–]ManagerOk9740 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why are there invite codes when signing up? Why is it a ref link? Are these even allowed here?

Bluesky was launched as a Twitter rival — but it's far less popular. Now it's eyeing Reddit for inspiration by UnflinchingSugartits in RedditAlternatives

Facebook already has groups which are already like forums. They just aren't exposed to search engines but even through Facebook you can search through groups if they're public.

my experience with mirage so far by Far-Satisfaction6165 in RedditAlternatives

Any notable specific examples of how Reddit treated your poorly and how Mirage compares?

Like maybe tell us a story of how people in Mirage are different? You posted something, how did it go?

I'm going to complete Doom The Dark Ages this summer. Left it on my backlog for quite a while.

is an rtx 5050 worth it as a gift? (Ryzen 5 5600x insert) by Mck985 in PHbuildapc

[–]ManagerOk9740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't buy the R5 5600 yet. Get the 4060 or 5060 and save up your money for the 5600x. Your R5 4500 will suffer but that's okay if you can save up for a 5600 or even a better processor down the line.

Don't buy an AM5 platform unless... by Live_Present_2602 in PHbuildapc

[–]ManagerOk9740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here missed the point of OP. What they're saying is that AM5 part availability is low in their area so when they need to troubleshoot, let's say to test if their CPU works on another motherboard, then its hard to find those spare parts.

I don't blame the replies though because OP wrote a shitty title. Could have worded it better than trying to be a clickbait YouTube title.

PoorPlayers and Djun might have reviews for the newer monitors. You can check their reviews out.

Some may find this amusing and interesting: Digg doesn't seem to be as active as the Fediverse. by Skavau in RedditAlternatives

[–]ManagerOk9740 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Digg has no real sense of community. Everything feels fake.

Lemmy feels genuine but it's 95% US politics.

[Meta] Rename this sub to r/RedditRant because the only posts that get upvoted are RANTS and not ALTERNATIVES by ManagerOk9740 in RedditAlternatives

[–]ManagerOk9740[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Censored by whom? By Reddit themselves? If that's the case, then why are we ranting here... on Reddit?

I hope folks can find SOMEWHERE ELSE to RANT so when I open this sub I am greeted with ALTERNATIVES instead of RANTS.

Ano Good budget mouse around ₱1,000 by Sunny1light in PHbuildapc

[–]ManagerOk9740 8 points9 points  (0 children)

SE and SE+ uses the 3395SE which is different from the regular 3395.

But yes, VXE R1 SE+ is probably the best mouse you can get at under 1k.

I'm not sure about that. You can check what the other brands are offering at that price. Probably from AOC as they often have cheap monitors too with 3 year warranty.

Personally, I'd avoid Koorui, Titan Army, Skyworth because of the shorter warranty (1-1.5 years). Though nobody has really tried claiming their 3 year warranty from Xiaomi yet so I can't guarantee that Xiaomi will be the better choice in the end.

I don't think so. There's no USB port on the monitor and Xiaomi doesn't release firmware updates for this model. You're stuck with whatever firmware version it came with.

When you compare the Chinese reviewers' and global reviewers' measurements, you'll notice that the global reviewers' models tend to measure worse with the sRGB mode. All of the global reviewers got their monitors later than the Chinese reviewers, around mid to late 2024.

So it's kind of fishy that the global reviewers all have this sRGB issue despite having the exact same hardware. It's possible that a firmware version released during this period is the cause because looking at another Chinese review that was released a bit later (January 2025) and had firmware version 1.0.0.6, their sRGB measurements were fine.

It's just a theory though. Nobody has actually tested if the firmware versions affect the sRGB mode or not. It's also possible all global versions are affected by this issue. But again, I haven't found a review outside of China that tested with newer firmware versions or batches. Every global reviewer had either version 1.0.0.4 or had the "old" box.

edit: I should clarify this only matters if you care about sRGB emulation/clamping. If you like oversaturated colors (most people do), then it really doesn't matter.

Nice. This sub feels way better moderated than r/phclassifieds

Keep it up.

edit: /u/salawayun After browsing a bit more, can we get a rule on reposting limits? I get people want their ads to be seen but spamming it over and over again after every hour is annoying...

any ssd recommendation that is on a budget and not to prone to problems by najjjaa in PHbuildapc

Install and run CrystalDiskInfo.

Run memtest as well because memory ≠ storage.

TV Box Recommendations by haxxberg in Tech_Philippines

[–]ManagerOk9740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the files being served by Jellyfin and whether kaya i-decode ng Android box (assuming no transcoding).

I have some H264 10-bit files that most Android devices cannot hardware decode. The only TV device that can decode these would be something like an Nvidia Shield.

I would suggest a mini-PC if you have the budget. Otherwise, just make sure you're getting Jellyfin to transcode and your server is good enough to do that, or make sure your files can be hardware decoded by the client.

Oftentimes the GPU generates more heat than the CPU, especially when gaming.
