It's been a while since I have posted this, but on days when my motor control is off due to my Parkinson's, or in times when my meds are "turned off" in-between doses, being able to "Flip" through my Mastodon timeline has been a godsend and has granted me more #accessibility to the #Fediverse as well as all the content through the #Flipboard app. Flipping through my timeline allows me to stay connected socially. It is really a great #a11y application.

I hope @npub17fe…w0a6 sees this thread. He has been very receptive and responsive from the community in making the Flipboard federation experience better as time goes on.

FYI, any time you have #Mastodon Web open, you can press the ? (Question mark) and the keyboard shortcut cheat sheet will open. (Unless the curser is in textbox) #FediTips #accessibility #A11y

Woman, "Why did you stop working at that place?"
Man, "I could never work for my boss again after what he said to me"
Woman, "Why? What did he say to you?"
Man, "You're fired."

The Supreme Court approved criminalizing homelessness in June 2024. I posted about it back then, but here is a NPR link.
@npub1sv8…7xja
NPR: The Supreme Court says cities can punish people for sleeping in public places
"In its biggest decision on homelessness in decades, the U.S. Supreme Court today ruled that cities can ban people from sleeping and camping in public places. The justices, in a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, overturned lower court rulings that deemed it cruel and unusual under the Eighth Amendment to punish people for sleeping outside if they had nowhere else to go."

This should have been major news. It wasn't. Cornelius Taylor, 46, was inside a tent in a long established homeless encampment off Old Wheat Street when he was bulldozed to death when Atlanta cleared his homeless camp, just yards away from Martin Luther King’s birthplace and the white marble tombs of him and Coretta Scott King. People tried to stop the dozer but it kept on going.
This story is horrific.

Welp, I am looking at the flu and esp COVID numbers, and all I can think of is, get ready for it.
Just please, take care of yourself and those you can protect.
Also, and this might make me an dick, but, those people that are against the shot, have the capabilities of taking the jab and refuse to do so, will so get thinned out of the herd and good riddance. I'm sick of pretending. I can't care about evil people.
Too bad they are going to infect innocents that can't get the shot or they won't allow, like kids.
Just please, take care of yourself and those you can protect.
And now, SissyCat:

Scientists watch Parkinson’s protein drill holes in brain cells for the first time
Scientists have uncovered a surprising way Parkinson’s disease may start: tiny toxic proteins that punch holes in brain cells like revolving doors. Instead of causing instant collapse, these flickering pores slowly weaken the cells, which could explain the gradual onset of symptoms.

Curious if others will try this and post their results and see how widespread it is

About a decade ago, I changed all my doctors that mandated Fox News, or even the worse ones, to be on in their waiting rooms. There were a few. The other day, it was on at the hospital outpatient radiology waiting room, but the registrar said a visitor changed it. It bothered her as much as me.
On a side note, I can honestly say I've gotten better care and attention from the new doctors than I did with those.

At the first tool at w3c, https://www.w3.org/WAI/test-evaluate/tools/list/,
* mementomori.social got a score of 60 https://www.accessibilitychecker.org/audit/?website=mementomori.social&flag=us
* Mastodon.Social got a score of 64. https://www.accessibilitychecker.org/audit/?website=mastodon.social&flag=us
Seems like the issues could be fixable easily to reach the goal of 90.
Some of the tools listed at w3c passed both with higher scores.

I remember in the 70's and 80's joining in the quilting circle that my grandmother and aunts would do every week.
Raised by my coalminer's wife grandmother, she insisted we all, boys included, learned how to sew and esp, "mend the holes in your pants from rough housing."
When I pick up a needle it's like yoga for me. Takes me to a different world.

Is anyone running the Main Branch and if so, how is it going?
#MastoAdmin
I understand there are fixes, etc, in main that hasn't made it to a release, some for a long time.
I read that it isn't advisable to run the main branch.
Just curious how it is going.
First alert Box in this official docs, "Please mind that running unreleased code from the main branch, while possible, is not recommended."

Good meowing from me. #SissyCat is still asleep in her new bag or else she would meow to you also.

Backblaze was down for me for around the last 10 minutes as of this post
Anyone else have issues? It's back up now, I retried the hundred or so failures in the sidekiq panel
Sidekiq errorL Aws::S3::Errors::ServiceUnavailable: Service temporarily unavailable, please try again
Images were blank but seem back now
#Backblaze #MastoAdmin
I'm having issues they can't resolve lately. B2B doesn't play nice with Mastodon. Any good, reasonably priced alternatives? Refer-a-friend links won't insult me

Thanks for the shoutout.
My jobs were getting behind a couple thousands and at one point, 10K. Adding more sidekiq tasks really help
