This is an unwelcome development: New research shows Android-based malware droppers aren't just delivering banking trojans anymore: They're also being loaded with SMS stealers and spyware.

#Mastodon does NOT need to verify you in ANY way!

The only verification happening is when you create an account and confirm your email, that’s it

Staff members can recognized by a badge on their profile right under the username(see image)

If someone does ask […]

I'm definitely seeing new followers. Hi! Thanks for coming here. I know it's fiddly but I think it's worth it.

Here's the most important tip I can give you:

So amazingly I managed to dig up my ICQ number, only to find out the service was shut down last year. Another great service bites the dust.

Very sad to learn of the passing of Col Larry Elman. The last surviving son of Dave Elman, a legendary hypnotist who's name is often spoken of in the same breath as Milton Erickson.

Let's see if I can remember how to do this....

This is a manually tilt-shifted photograph that I took 6 years ago in Tivili København. Lifted from my PixelFed account.

It also means I can't follow anyone from the bridged account. I promise it's nothing personal! 😅

Also, just from experience, mastodon can take a little while to "federate" and sync. Sometimes it's really slow. I've also had instances of posts not making it to other federated instances/nodes. It's not perfect, but it's still useful. (I think).

So the only thing about Bridgy that's REALLY annoying is that anything that is posted to those accounts can't be edited or deleted - even if the original post is long gone. So do hope the links make sense!

WTF is going on with PayPal? I read that they admitted to a breach a couple of days ago. (They kept that quiet!) and now people are reporting their linked banks have gone and they can't add them back as well as instant Xfers removed.

Okay, I want to know if there is any way to geo-block access to this Mastodon instance?

Also, I want to know if there's a bat-signal hashtag that reaches Mastodon instance admins (so I can follow it AND use it)

Boost please?

I have also resurrected my pixelfed account, just in time for the internet to implode. Yay for timing!

OK, so it appears I did not understand the assignment.

The bridge DOES work, it's just that it creates a new account over on Bluesky, so anyone wanting to interact with me over here needs to do so on that new account over there.

The two accounts are not connected directly. Bit of an odd […]

Thinking of something witty to write to check the bridge is working. Can't think of a thing!

Greetings Maz. Please could you enable mobile support on shared.graphics so that I can add an account to my mobile app?

Thanks in advance 😊
