Thought experiment:

X creates a mastodon instance. Not one that bridges to X or federates X to the fediverse, but a native Mastodon instance. Do we have the same complaints about "consent" with them becoming part of the fediverse?

Is it the company that is objectionable, or the fact that it's not a native fediverse app that is the problem?

adminkirsty,

@jerry
FWIW my thought is bridging is an issue, putting fediverse content into other ecosystems. If they have a Mastodon instance (or other fedi type), that doesn’t do that, and you can choose to interact or not individually, whatever your feelings on the company in question. Naturally I would prefer that only “those with good intent” enter my space, be that personal or online 🙂

Yesterday morning, very suddenly, my beloved cat Frankie Fangs died of a stroke. He fell off his cat tower, I heard it, I picked him up, and after trying some rescue breaths and his inhaler, I had a few moments to make him feel loved. Dev and I were there while he crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

He was the best gato and was filled with unconditional love. If the spirit moves you, please donate to your local pet shelter because animals are the best parts of our lives and deserve all the the care we can give them. Frankie is survived by his little sister Whisper, and nine and a half years of incredible, joy-filled, incredibly funny, lifelong memories.

So sorry to hear about Frankie 💔
Thinking of you - your place will seem ever so quiet and empty.

Finally got myself a again. It's a horrid little toy, not the sort of thing I was hoping to find. But it was the only one I've been able to find in a shop that isn't locked to a cell provider (which is obviously anti-competitive and probably needs to be struck down as an antitrust violation).

But it opens up the possibility of going back to a no WiFi in the bedroom policy. While still having an alarm, reminders about critical appointments, and the ability to receive calls and texts.

What model did uou invest in?

adminkirsty,

@strypey
It did occur to me that you might want to keep that smart phone handy, should we get back to a situation where contact tracing is again needed. 🙄😷

adminkirsty,

@strypey
TBF that is putting some onus on the shops that may not be respected… a leap of faith, in some cases.

Anyone in Toronto who can take a 9 yo dog with special needs?

Mac was shot when he was 2, some bullet fragments are still in. He needs pain medication. He's also reactive to loud noises (hard to blame him!)

My friend has had him for 7 years. Mac is a very good boy. However my friend is struggling with major health issues with no way out and has tried for MONTHS to find a rescue that would take Mac. My friend has no spoons left. And the vet suggested euthanasia. This coming Saturday.

This good boy ⬆️ with special needs, requires a new home. He’s in . This needs to happen a.s.a.p.
Can you help find him a new home? 🐶​

adminkirsty,

@jerry @GottaLaff
Any chance you good dog people might be able to give this above toot a boost? It would be good to see if :mastodon:​ could help get a new home for this needy dog, rather than having to be put down 🙄
Hope you don’t mind me asking.
PS maybe @Gargron could help too?

Of course, if news breaks, I'll post it.

Hope you all have a provocation-free, meaningless-argument-free, positivity-filled day.

I'm determined to do just that.

From later entries in the live blog (with volcanic activity having reduced markedly):

  • it will be possible to allow residents and businesses back into Grindavik tomorrow
  • Icelandic state will offer to buy their homes, left behind in the evacuated town

has anybody ever received a #medical #diagnosis where the #doctor told you that your illness will likely cause a significant reduction in your #lifespan? Not that you are dying, but that you likely will not live to be an old person? How did you deal with this news? How do you handle that?

Dark Brandon warns Trump: this is on you.

: But if the bill fails, I want to be absolutely clear about something. The American people are going to know why it fails. I'll be taking this issue to the country… the American people are going to know the reason the border is not secure is Donald

Republican Rep. Ken Buck on why he's voting against Mayorkas impeachment: "This is a not a high crime or misdemeanor. This is not an impeachable offense. This is a policy difference ... it's wrong, and we should not set this precedent."

I’m not touching any threads link, sorry, but what I caught of Hawley’s time in the hearing was the first time I have seen him come close to doing what he is paid for 🤭

Ah, don’t “normal” people wash their hands 10 times a day? Heck, if you only did hand washing after the bathroom and before eating, you would easily get to 10! And that is before doing anything that may dirty the hands… 😳🤦‍♀️

Here’s the thing … Trump is accused of sexual assault by 26 victims, one of which just won $83.3 million because of Trump defaming her.

Trump also paid off a porn star, has been found guilty of fraud in NY, stole (and possibly sold) top secret documents and is facing numerous charges connected to the J6 insurrection.

Republicans continue to ignore … even defend Trump’s crimes … while calling for the removal of Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis for allegedly having an affair.

Piss off!

So far, feeling somewhat better, thank you all.

Ok, what I have, most likely, is what’s called C-Diff. Look it up. It’s scary.

I had to take antibiotics for some oral surgery 2+ wks ago + antibiotics to counter those antibiotics (which trigger C-Diff).

It worked…until it didn’t.

I got symptoms. Being tested to make sure. Yes, I’m miserable, but I luckily haven’t gotten a severe case.🤞🏼

Weird: 1st case a few mos ago was not from antibiotics, no idea how I got it! Poss contact?🤷🏻‍♀️

End.

adminkirsty,

@GottaLaff
Hope you are feeling a little better.

I’ve just been down a :mastodon:​ rabbit hole, ending up at Harvard Health blog. I was very surprised to stumble across this nugget (news to me, and probably others too):
“However, probiotics haven't been found to prevent C. diff or its recurrence. Research performed in mice and humans suggests that giving probiotics after a course of antibiotics may slow the pace of microbiome recovery. "You're potentially delaying the recovery of your microbiome with probiotics," she says.“
Every single day I learn something new 🥹
