macroblogging social media site, mastodon.eskimo.com a federated microblogging site, and yacy.eskimo.com an uncensored federated search engine. All Free!
So this is worrisome @Gargron and #Mastodon have no way to comply with these draconian age-verification laws. This leaves it up to the instance providers. Jeezus.
You already know my thoughts. Not geoblocking the traffic opens you up to civil and criminal legal penalties. This includes mastodon.social who's by far the largest porn instance on the fediverse!
Decentralized social network Mastodon says it cannot comply with age verification laws, like in Mississippi and elsewhere, and says it's up to individual server owners to decide.
The article makes it seem like it was a badly worded statement! Instances can do registration by approval, so they can use whatever mechanism they want to do age verification if they choose to; and, admin notes let them store the info on profiles if they want to. So, it's still up to each instance to choose whether to comply, but their framing as reported was unfortunate. I asked Andy Piper if they could release the statement (or some public sttaement), he said they're working on it.
I found out that my whole family's DR isn't practicing family medicine anymore and I guess we have a new DR. Nobody even mentions anything?! At least we still have a Dr though.
@von he was such a caring DR, so I am pretty sad. Like he would give you his cellphone number to text what you're kids rash looks like. Dr Grover 🙏 youtu.be/PWY1sH92xOo

this is a bit of a minor update but I added two new subreddits to #GAGSProject! r/GWAQueer and r/GoneWildAudioGay
in order to make room for them in the search results UI, I switched from using tabs to a navbar. I think I like this approach more because it communicates information explicitly that I was trying to communicate implicitly in the past - although this navbar format might be a little less intuitive to folks who are used to the UI language of tabs
also, I added a new button that lets you save your gender preferences and blacklist. in the past whenever you submitted a search, your preferences would be saved, but there was no way to save them without submitting a search

That chick with 2 heads and one husband had a baby 😏 I wonder what that was like. You know he was kissing both the heads on the lips and even had both personalities "service his member". He would have to! She isn't just gonna turn her head to the side while dude is railing their one and only vagina. It's a package deal, you gotta have a 3some every time to make it work. And I'm sure dude is gonna eventually snap out of his horny curiosity and figure he can't do that the rest of his life. If this were Sparta, things like that wouldn't exist.
how did i get to the point that i can enter the nichest strangest internet circles and find somebody whos like mutual friends with some random friend of mine usually the same closer friend group, thats cool af

Testing is one thing you definitely need to do, especially if you're figuring things out! Yes, I'm new to SPL, I'll admit, but I'm getting the hang of it.
@mckensie That's good. I can't believe this October, I will have been using SPL for 15 years. Switched over to it in October of 2010, when SAM Broadcaster started to become more difficult post losing my site earlier that year. Prior to that though, I got my start with SAM Broadcaster in 2008, and would occasionally use it on a backup machine where Studio wasn't installed.
@celrock @hallen @mckensie I once tried Winamp just to listen to stations and damn I couldn't get the hang of it, SPL is more accessible than Winamp, then again that was one of the recent versions I was testing.
Sanders calls for RFK Jr. resignation amid public health upheaval
Sanders’ critique comes in the wake of a string of controversial actions by Kennedy, including the abrupt dismissal of CDC Director Susan Monarez, the disbanding of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the halting of nearly $500 million in federal funding for mRNA vaccine development.
**We have a moron with no medical background handling our national healthcare. The posts aren’t filled based on qualifications, but on sucking up to Trump.***
Bernie may have no formal power to make this happen, but he has the moral clarity to state what is true, and a pulpit from which to raise his voice. These speaches ripple through our collective consciousness, where reception of the wave-force may generate some very active echos.

Also forcing me to use your "app" should be an executable offense. Somehow these assholes made it so you're forced to use their app to get basic functionality, but then there's still shit you can't do in the app you can only do it on the website so it's not even fucking convenient. Die in a fire.
