Shitposter Emeritus taking a break from Elon-X

Supposedly they backed off doing business with this firm once there was serious outrage, but yes, Elon is definitely working for them. The new X is very fishy.

I was just saying the other day that it's more filled with bots, shills, fake people and astroturfed accounts than ever. Seems like the majority of traffic anymore is not organic humans but automated, troll farms, etc.

when i set up NoStrudel it specifically asked to NOT trust it with my NSEC and use something like Alby instead.

that's actually one of the reasons i like nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr is because he is open about limitations of his product.

NOSTR is still in experimental phase though so we're all in the process of discovering what works still.

the general idea though ( nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c correct me if i am wrong ) is to not expose your NSEC if possible.

with passwords you can have 20 different ones and change them whenever you want - but you only get one NSEC - so you need to keep it secure.

That's correct, keep the nsec secure at all costs. Probably not a good idea to keep it on Google servers LOL. But for ease of use since I'm on more than one machine, it's just how it goes. Probably more of a worry for important people than anons anyway.

Here’s an observation about shitty Twitter algorithms.

I’ve actually never blocked or muted anyone on Twitter. Never felt the need. 690k followers, countless comments, no filters.

If someone is an ass, I tend to just ignore them or akido them and move on.

I just went over to Twitter and checked my notifications. Some guy posted in an unusually negative way in one of my threads. For a brief moment, I was provoked. But then I looked: he has 8,700 posts and 6 followers. Briefly skimming his profile, it is pure negativity. Imagine this. Like actually take a moment to think about what that process feels like for him, let alone how he impacts others.

Posting eight thousand and seven hundred times, mostly negatively, and after well more than a thousand of those posts, someone elects to follow him.

The algorithm trains us to see this and get angry. When he shows up in our feed, he seems like a normal person who disagrees with us. But he’s not normal. Someone like that is literally and sadly more in the mentally ill camp, even as the algorithm presented him to us like any other normal person, saying we suck.

Imagine if we had more programmable filters and algorithms. Like, mute people with over a thousand posts but with less than one follower per five hundred posts. That filters him out, similarly to how we would visually filter out and thus physically avoid a man holding his own shit in his hand in public on a street, who needs help but not public attention and proximity.

The centralized algorithms we have normalized, are not real life.

We give people virtual access that we would not do publicly, partially because we can program our real-life algorithms with various behavior rules that we can’t do on most virtual platforms.

This is correct, although the problem is fairly easily solved by just using the block feature for now. I used to be against that, and for freedom of interaction, but as with anything jerks abused it and made that model less appealing. Blocking seals off access to bad actors and my threshold for unacceptable behavior is now lower than it once was.

As for who gains followers on Twitter / X, it's a bit of a black box. Supposedly anyone who goes sufficiently viral gains followers. But a lot of, frankly, bad content gets boosted that way. I would not equate high followers = high quality account, not even close. And then too, we are supposed to believe that no astroturfed presences are boosted, which I frankly don't believe. The amount of fake accounts, grifters and obviously 'turfed accounts over there is higher than ever under the new ownership.

look how tight this shot is framed. i just screen grabbed it from FapHouse video i'm watching.

her face and pussy are positioned diagonally maximizing screen utilization !

only way to make this shot even tighter would be to shoot parallel to her body rather than perpendicular but then due to depth of field issues you would either have her pussy or face in focus but not both ...

also note how perfectly the shot is exposed. the bed sheets are slightly blown out but nobody is watching the video for those bed sheets. the video is color graded so that you don't lose any detail either on the white or black skin.

why don't more pornographers realize the value of actually properly shooting and editing video ?

why do most of them think all they have to do is get a hot chick and big black dick and then shoot the video using a potato for a camera, dimly lit room for a studio, some washed up porn star for a cameraman or woman and the same person for video editor.

and don't even get me started on sound. most videos now are POV where all you can hear is the man screaming something at his "step sister" and when she replies all you can hear is some barely audible echo.

sadly usually when videos are properly shot like the one in the screen grab above they lack any kind of interesting plot or acting ...

it seems you can never have your cake and eat it too. you can't have hot girls, great sex, great acting and plot and also great camera work and editing all in one video. you can at best have about half of those at the same time.

Cute girl. Who is the actress?

There are so many new hoes in porn these days I can't keep up. Longevity in the "industry" seems to be going down too with all the DIY stuff out there, even established stars doing OnlyFans, and so on. Brave new world.

It seems that people have been having some difficulties with Alby + NOSTR together. How I solved this problem is very simple. I didn't use Alby at all. On an Android phone, I downloaded the Amethyst client. If you log in via that client, it automatically issues you a npub/nsec combination. You may then write it down and join the network from any other client. I used nostter on the browser.

In my case, not sister, but first cousin. I couldn't have married my sister, our relationship was too up and down. But cousin marriage should work if sibling marriage does not. This is very common among the Bedouins. There were at least 2 of them I could've married, or more if I'd been willing to also consider 2nd/3rd cousins. And this would've also kept the family property together rather than splitting it all up and mostly losing it as my idiot uncles and aunts caused to happen because they are selfish, short-sighted boomer trash. It's hard to overstate what a disaster of civilization they caused.
