Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.

I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.
@GeePawHill I've been in close proximity to celebrities in elevators or restaurants or airports but didn't interact with them, because as a Canuck we just leave them alone for the most part when they are out and about being humans and not performers.
“His left side was numb, and scans showed he had a stroke in the deeper part of the brain, the thalamus, which explains the unsteadiness,” Munshi said. “He was admitted, and we treated him with five different medications until his blood pressure dropped to 170.”
Back at home again, the man’s blood pressure continued to climb, reaching 220 despite numerous drugs. Munshi and his team searched for answers for weeks, running extensive tests that turned up negative. Then one day the man told Munshi about his energy drink habit.
Found my old high school math calculator. Circa 1986 according to Wikipedia. It’s survived quite a few prairie winters in various cars parked on the street.
"D&D 2024 Class Optimisation Guide". -->. No thanks. I prefer my character builds to be flawed in hopefully interesting ways, and then the fun comes from working with/around said flaws.
@dannotdaniel I get all that and the desire / reasoning that went into the feature. Other software will adapt (or not) to the new way because of the juggernaut influence.
Ever look at the raw json of quoted toots? Some have the content in there two or three times to accommodate the mish mash of prior implementations and this is just another to add to that.
All very amusing from a “I’m glad I don’t have to code support for all that” viewpoint.
@dannotdaniel If it smells like a quote toot, it is a quote toot. The weird consent quote thing Mastodon is faffing about with is ... weird. Whatever, carry on.
I meant to put the outside seasonal lights and such up today but instead fell down the rabbit hole of fixing home automation things that were no longer talking or just set up wrong somehow.
Amusingly the Leviton light switches (after deleting the malfunctioning entries) paired more easily than they ever have before. Maybe iPhoneOS 26 made that better. Unsure.
Firmware updates for all the switches went well, but sad I apparently stull have to use the manufacturers app for that.
Furnace thermostat and sensors room assignments and automations rejigged.
Definitely cancelled my subscription to PeakTo. Product doesn't perform well at all on high spec intel Mac and I'm probably not the right user use-case whatever for it anyways.
