Today was uneventful, meaning nothing bad happened.
She gained a little heart function. She has a partial collapsed lung but they said that is common. She's not had a fever since she been there, is COVID free still.
Sunday, they will try to remove the breathing machine and wake her. I made arrangements and will be there all day.
I'm still doing ok. Our emergency backup plan regarding my health seems to be working. This is the first time in a decade it has been needed❤️

She's running with it, isn't she. What a waste of a way to ruin your brand and achievements.
I know for one, I'll never pay for anything she is contributing to again, and I don't care if it is a sequel of all sequels.
I know others say that too, but I really am over it. All her work I loved is polluted simply because of her involvement and simply can't be enjoyed.

They need to clarify whether this device seems like it was some dummy who rigged a bunch of fireworks to go off and the officer was passing by at the wrong place at the wrong time as they set them off or if someone built something to be malicious, ie "reckless, ignorant person vs terrorist" IED.

Former Truth Social developer behind Soapbox and Rebased has come up with a sneaky workaround to how Authorized Fetch functions: if your domain is blocked for a fetch, just sign it with a different domain name instead, using an A record that points back to the receiving instance. #MastoAdmin

What happens in the Fediverse if you deactivate the #WordPress #ActivityPub plugin? Does it do an automatic clean exit from the Fediverse?
If not, is there a way for a clean exit from the Fediverse?
Mastodon has a self-destruct option.
What is the process for WP? I looked, maybe I missed it.

There's no need for Fediverse services, like Mastodon, Lemmy, etc, to keep using resources, trying to get account info from a deactivated WP blog & have failing jobs

It should be noted that their Fediverse profile states it is opt-in only, but their TOS also requires a robot.txt entry to stop their RSS fetching.

I have a gut feeling the right-wing SCOTUS will eventually bend over backwards to add the pornography test to separation of church and state.
Something like the Miller test where the average person in the community or state, by their calculation, agrees or finds it to be of prurient interest or objectionable, Constitution be damned.

This isn't hyperbole. Vote out the GOP in STATE races
The GOP is so close to be able to call an Article V Constitutional Convention at the state level & rewrite the entire damn thing, authored by the Federalist Society, & there will be nothing anyone can do
Do you really want these insane laws they're passing in red states to be hard coded in the US Constitution?
Do you really want the US billionaire oligarchs to buy a constitution they are happy with?

I knew it was growing once they moved Windows to the Chromium based Edge as its default. I was a bit surprised, too, it was that much at this point.

People like to joke about Edge, but it has 263 million people using it now, not too far off having double the user base of both Safari and Firefox.
The more they weld it into Windows desktop, the more people will say, why bother with the others if we have to use it to open Drive (soon) or other Windows features, since it is essentially Chrome now, at its core, and not clunky, Windows default, featureless Internet Explorer browser. People are lazy and lax.

It's still happening on and off. Now, instead of it working for a minute then not, it's working an hour or so then not.
I filed a report last night and just got this. The changed the status but the status page has zero details about it so far.
I hope they add info about it.

My only issue with the removal tasks is, if you use Elasticsearch and run 'tootctl statuses remove', does it remove statuses from the search database?
I don't run that command because I want to find posts sometimes. I'm using my instance as my primary Google Search replacement. I am getting more useful finds here than Google these days.
I've asked before to no avail. I'd really like to know if it does remove stuff from Elasticsearch. #MastoAdmin
