BrianKrebs"If you’ve ever owned a domain name, the chances are good that at some point you’ve received a snail mail letter which appears to be a bill for a domain or website-related services. In reality, these misleading missives try to trick people into paying for useless services they never ordered, don’t need, and probably will never receive. Here’s a look at the most recent incarnation of this scam — #DomainNetworks — and some clues about who may be behind it."
This was more fun than I thought I'd have reporting it out.

Dr. Damien P. Williams, MagusI've lived through BBS, AIM, Y!IM, IRC, LiveJournal, DeadJournal, Dreamwidth, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Mastodon, and roll-your-own-socials, and I when see the shape of what's to come it wearies me like a hot dry wind howling through time's ancient caverns and over desert wastes
I don't have any tattoos. There's many reasons, mostly it's down to never finding any image or words that I felt represented me strongly enough to make a part of my body. But suddenly on a walk it hit me: the flower of the Southern Magnolia, symbolizing my mother.
She was a Southern girl who loved her children fiercely, tough as nails when she needed to be. If I have any positive qualities, I attribute most of them to her.
Magnolias are ancient, the very first flowers. And they have survived.
RoSo there's been a Bluesky vs. Masto convo in my mentions for the last couple of days, and it's made something very clear.
White men have this strange loyalty to Mastodon but not a better fedi itself. And they project this loyalty onto anyone that even considers Bluesky, no matter what cultural background they come from.
I have my own reasons for not considering Bluesky, but there's this nasty implication that Black and Brown people should be grateful for Masto despite the fact people loyal to that project have repeatedly run us off with no remorse.
This massive cultural gulf is at the core of why the fedi can't get out of its way and be the next evolution on public social media.
There's enough room here for everyone to have their communities, but the willful ignorance that often leads this discussion and projects in the fedi has us running in circles.

AnarchoNinaWritesYou want me to sum up everything I've learned about history in my life? Here goes:
It's more or less been 10,000 years of fancy lads in funny suits telling folks just like me that actually it's not that simple and we have to do reaction/slavery/violence/extraction for "reasons." Those reasons change, sometimes it's God's will, sometimes its the wrong end of a musket, but the fancy lads in funny suits insisting what's in your conscience is secretly wrong and you needa obey, are constant.
Going to bed. hopefully I can get more than my typical 6 hours sleep. my brain seems to have no regard for my internal clock or any concept of the amount of sleep my body actually needs. It's very much about playing Taps waking up at 5 am on the mark, telling the non-brain parts of me "guess you'll just have to ruminate about the day ahead in the pre-dawn hours and all the possible ways you can f it up"
Block off lunch on your calendars. Accept no meeting invites during lunch. Set and enforce your boundaries.
