RE: mastodon.social/@reiver/115719

In the 1990s I created a niche narrowly focused web-site on OpenGL.

(OpenGL was a narrow topic I focused on at the time.)

It was part of my tilde-site.

(tilde-sites were common if you got your web-site from a University or ISP.)

Sadly, it didn't get archived by the Internet Archive 🙁

The "online age verification is just like showing ID" talking point falls apart under the slightest scrutiny. Our new post breaks down why: eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/why-

Why Isn’t Online Age Verification Just Like Showing Your ID In Person?

This blog also appears in our Age Verification Resource Hub: our one-stop shop for users seeking to understand what age-gating laws actually do, what’s at stake, how to protect yourself, and why EFF opposes all forms of age verification mandates. Head to EFF.org/Age to explore our resources and...

> Millionen Follower, null Wirkung: „“ verkauft uns ein volles Stadion – und schaltet dann das Mikro stumm

Das riesige Fußballstadion ist vollbesetzt. Das Mikrofon liegt in Ihrer Hand. „Wenn Sie dort rein sprechen“ – so hat man es Ihnen immer wieder erklärt – „erreichen Sie besonders viele Menschen.“ In Wahrheit aber ist das Mikro nur für die Reihen eins bis drei freigeschaltet. Von den 80.000 Anwesenden hört Sie tatsächlich kaum jemand.

So funktioniert das bei allen sozialen Medien mit Algorithmus. ..

Technically nudity; album art ft. Greek statue w/ no pants on

I’m calling it; Higanbana by Sundrowned is my 2025 album of the year. Amazing blackgaze, tightly fused styles, almost laid-back and smooth? I’ve been listening to it nearly every day since it released and I am still in love.

youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK

sundrownedband.bandcamp.com/al

Album art. A Greek statue with its head and arms broken off. It’s surrounded by a large plant with green leaves wrapping around it, and it looks like the flowers of the plant are sprouting from its neck. The statue is nude and its junk has been snapped off as well. To the side, a red circle has two red lines drawn through it.

Donald Trump has reversed Joe Biden’s legal offensive against ,
debuting his own token, $Trump, before his inauguration,
and rolling back government actions against the industry, which heavily supported him during his bid for the presidency.

Celebrities have likewise returned to hawking cryptocurrency projects or launching tokens of their own.

Celebrities in the crypto realm can reach hundreds of millions of followers cheaply via social media,
and they can easily establish a narrative since most fiduciary advisors steer clear of the sector.

Directing follower attention can be incredibly lucrative,
since crypto investments are largely a
“coordination game” driven by demand,
rather than underlying fundamentals, making crypto
“extraordinarily vulnerable to celebrity influence”.

$Trump demonstrated meme coins’ lucrative potential,
though its windfall may have come at the expense of other celebrities’ crypto ambitions.

In May, Trump personally hosted a dinner for the 220 largest holders of $Trump,
and held a private “reception” for the largest 25 buyers.

These individuals collectively spent around $148m purchasing $Trump tokens, the Guardian previously reported.

According to Andrew Duca, the founder of crypto-focused tax platform Awaken,
the $Trump token “sucked up so much liquidity” that it caused other meme coins’ price to fall

Duca said celebrity activity in crypto in 2025 is markedly different from what we saw in 2021.

“Last cycle, you were getting more A-list celebs … and this cycle,
you basically only saw the griftier celebs actually participate,” he said.

These celebrities’ endorsements in 2025 primarily center around meme coins, rather than more traditional cryptocurrencies or crypto exchanges

Why celebrities are loving crypto again in Trump’s second term

From athletes such as Tristan Thompson to artists such as Iggy Azalea, celebrities have returned to hawking crypto

컴퓨터 잘 다루시는 분들 계신가요 도움이 필요합니다 막 급한건 아니긴 한데.. 저는 아직도 음원을 저장해서 음악을 듣습니다. 그런데, 오늘 갑자기 저장된 음악 파일들에 아이콘 미리보기에 앨범아트가 전부 하나도 안나오는거에요. 뭐지 싶어서 Mp3tag 켜서 확인해보니 앨범아트가 날라간건 아니었어요. 폰에 다운받으면 잘 뜨고요. 그래서 임시파일, 캐시 문제인가 싶어서 임시파일, 캐시 다 지워보고 재부팅해봤는데도 안뜨더라고요. 그 과정에서 앨범아트가 손상됐나 싶어서 다시 확인해보니 그렇지 않았습니다. 혹시 해결방법 아시는분..?
