crypto, poker 

So, fun fact, large parts of the poker economy are tied to crypto.

This is especially true of online poker because ever since congress passed the UIGEA in 2006, it has been fairly difficult to transfer money onto internet gaming sites via conventional means.

Luckily for me, I don’t play online very much these days, and neither do the players in the cardrooms that I am consistently beating.

But it should be interesting watching the panic set in.

Hello, I'm looking for a nice instance who would be cool with porn (under cw)
It's for a friend :blobcatpeek2:
Pls boost of you don't know!

personal opinion:

if you want to post a thing and have it easily available for a long time,

make a static website. doesn't need to be a complicated one. get a website generator, or just write the html yourself. you don't even need a domain, you can use #neocities or some other free service.

because moving a social media profile will always be a complicated process. but a static website can be moved to basically anywhere and will survive for much longer.

I think I managed to understand more about why so many arguments against Mastodon as being too complex bother me, why they get under my skin. It really feels like people aren't arguing against Mastodon in particular, but rather are positively arguing that walled gardens are inherently good. At some point, it seems like the fully corporatized model captured peoples' imaginations such that the internet of the late 90s may no Ionger be possible.

"fediverse is worse than twitter because you can't get viral reach"

Re-boosting your own posts for 'the morning crew' or 'the night crew' is an acceptable and encouraged practice here. We are largely a community of supportive people who enjoy being given the opportunity to help each other and boost content we may have previously missed.

You should never feel ashamed of promoting yourself, especially as an artist, when it's so difficult to reach people. If anyone doesn't want to see your boosts, they can just scroll past.

how to tell whether a watermelon is ripe 🍉 

It’s really easy to tell if a watermelon is ripe! First off: thumping doesn’t help, and weight isn’t really a good indicator. But that’s okay because the easiest way to tell is by color. Look for a spot on the melon that’s lighter in color than the rest of the rind: this is the spot that was touching the ground while the melon was growing! If that spot is white, the melon isn’t good yet. When that spot turns yellow, the watermelon is ripe!

If you are into #pinball, this weekend the Dutch Pinball Open is happening in the Dutch Pinball Museum in #rotterdam, and it seems there's still some tickets left. #dpo is fun for recreational players as well as competitive players. Expect lots of different games, all on free play, and a lot of fun! #dpo #dpm

I'll be volunteering, so come say hi if you're coming over!

On the Icelandic fediverse/Mastodon I've started seeing people using the word "tútta" for "toot". "tútta" (pronounced toot-ta) is normally a slang term for a boob/tit.

Please reboob this.

WIP of some more lowpoly fox 3D prints I created. Soon I will have the gang back together again. :3

Printed on an #Ender3 and painted with acrylics.

They will be again for sale around the end of the year, with optional winter hats. I'm curious about opinions on pricing. I will attach a poll to a followup post, if you want to fill it out. ^.^
