For the last few months, an unusually high proportion of my follow requests here have been people who more or less fit the profile of "married kinky bi guy in their 30s/40s/50s wanting to be horny online".
I'm wondering why the change in population. It used to be mostly other transfem folks, empty lurker accounts, and a few chasers or other jerks. Any clue, someone?

Real estate #phishing?
Today a Greek-American woman asked me about the house next door, which is for sale in some website. Her son had found it. She called the owner to ask for details and she replied that the house is not for sale and that she doesn't know anything about any ad.
The buyer showed me another picture of yet another house in the neighborhood which was up for sale. Again, it isn't!
There's a major scam going on! Unfortunately she didn't show me the website.

# My thoughts on EU Chat Control
I just don't think we are ready for what's coming, most people will be caught off guard when the real consequences of losing our privacy come: democracy and other rights will be affected in the near future, and when people realize this it will be too late (the "I've got nothing to hide" crowd is what I am referring to).
Insane timeline that we live in, I don't see a future where we get to maintain end-to-end encrypted communications unless we develop some sort of peer to peer mesh network that no single entity has control over (that is very complicated to make).
Centralized messaging apps (Signal included) while they can be privacy respecting, they are not immune to censorship or government bans.
And privacy is important, it is a fundamental right that we all should have, and guess what, you know who's not allowing their messages to be read and unencrypted? The people making this law!, politicians and other government officials are excluded from the message scanning... They get privacy!!
To add insult to injury, because the network effect is too strong (as in people don't like changing apps) we will be stuck with unsafe unencrypted messaging, even if an alternative emerges that is decentralized and encrypted somehow.
For now I see no solution for the general population, of course actual end-to-end encrypted chats will not go away, but they will be probably be made illegal somehow, criminals will definitely not care about any of this, so the law is pointless, it just is an excuse for the increasing government overreach on the EU.

There are some useful tools that you can install on your Linux system but instead I want to talk about the tools that are available on basically every Linux...YouTube
it’s shopee, which is just like temu
it’s important bc it’s not like aliexpress, it has less variety (not that aliexpress aren’t hundreds of the same products being sold), and aliexpress is a lot more aggressive with shipping costs
here if you are buying stuff that is <50 bucks, shopee is cheaper, but if it’s >100 this flips
anyway i have a matte film for the back of the z fold 7 and a 90 degree usb adapter coming, things i definitely needed

Gaza's Health Ministry said on Sunday that Israeli attacks killed at least 88 Palestinians and wounded 421 over the previous 24-hour period as US-backed Israeli attacks continue across the Strip and the Israeli military is moving to conquer Gaza City…News From Antiwar.com

Polls consistently show that Jewish Israelis view Palestinians as less than human. This deep-seated racism is rooted in the Zionist colonial project and helps explain the broad support for the Gaza genocide.

Why I resigned as chairman of #Amnesty Israel
Israeli human rights groups can’t advocate for Palestinians without Palestinians.
"Amnesty #Israel finds itself in the awkward position of being neither a source of legal expertise, nor providing a diverse human rights perspective of Israelis and #Palestians. It is just another place for Israeli Jews to express themselves.
When I became chairman of Amnesty Israel in January 2024, there were no Palestinians on the board of managers or in managerial positions on staff. By way of comparison, this is a lower standard than the one found in Israeli public service and government-owned corporations, which are, according to the attorney general’s guidelines, at least obligated to have a proper representation of Arabs “in all ranks and professions, in every office and auxiliary unit,” including the board of directors.
I insisted on Palestinian representation in managerial roles, but nothing changed. Members of management and the board were reluctant to make the necessary structural adjustments. "

Question for mastodon machinists:
This lathe is for sale locally and a couple of my friends are trying to figure out what this attachment with the pair of rollers on the back of the lathe does. None of us have ever seen anything like it.
Do you know what it is?
If you don't know, that's fine. You don't have to make wild-ass guesses.

Satan used to have standards. Back masking in metal albums, recruiting through MTG, pokemon taught 'evolution,' D&D had actual demon names in the Monster Manual, Harry potter was teaching real witchcraft, and every Halloween decoration at Target was a portal to hell
the Satanic Panic had variety! Range! Creativity!
Now it's just 'this doll's name sounds like a demon if you say it wrong.' where's the effort?

You can't spell Satan without an N, S and A so maybe they were onto something.

2025 :
✅ virer Instagram
✅ remplacer windows par Linux (bon il ne m'a pas laissé le choix en même temps !)
C'était facile jusqu'ici...
Next step : virer Gooooogle 💥
Et WhatsApp ce serait bien aussi.
@SolenedeM @niavy ce que je ne comprends pas, c'est pourquoi venir sous le post de quelqu'un qui dit faire qqch pour dire : moi je vois pas l'intérêt et ne pas vouloir ensuite de discussion ou d'explication ?
@atelieralice n'a pas dit : partez d'instagram ! Mais juste ... Je pars
Pour moi c'est comme si qq disait : dry January ✅
Et qu'on lui répondait : moi je vois pas l'intérêt de réduire ma conso d'alcool

Miranda - sexy naked edition
in reply to Miranda - sexy naked edition • • •I take the occasion to summarize again how I filter follow requests.
Basically, I require you to 1/ be alive here and 2/ not be an asshole.
1/ If your bio and PP are empty, or if you're just here to lurk, fave and boost and never give anything about yourself, I'll refuse your FR. This is a porn account, but we are on a *social* media, not PornHub. I've nothing to sell and I'm not just a source of porn to be consumed; I'm a person and I'm here to share with other persons (or other entities).
Miranda - sexy naked edition
in reply to Miranda - sexy naked edition • • •2/ This is vague, but if I think you have shitty opinions about important stuff (like human rights, not pineapple pizza) or behave poorly, I'll refuse your FR (and block you in severe cases)
If you're new here, I'll usually wait for a few days before deciding. If I refuse your FR and you retry with no significant change, I'll block you.
Last: mastodon.social is a shitty instance, badly managed and poorly moderated. Being there is an orange flag to me. (And you would be better somewhere else.)
