Welcome back! It is a good feeling.
“It depends when the anarchist convention is”
Me: “Isn’t the anarchist convention whenever you want it to be?”
US: please take a moment to tell our elected representatives to maintain healthcare coverage. We need robust public health infrastructure.
From The People’s CDC (PCDC):
“Three years into the COVID-19 pandemic, we need you to treat the pandemic like the ongoing public health emergency it is. We need you to embrace a comprehensive approach to public health based on layers of protection and public policies aimed at protecting the most vulnerable people among us.”
The People’s CDC (PCDC) has a new weekly COVID Weather Report out.
“Transmission levels remain high, with 92.82 percent of the population living in areas with substantial or higher transmission. Rates are particularly high in the South, part of the Midwest, and the East Coast, with lower levels in the West.”
In the US, at least 3,756 people died of COVID last week. Those numbers are likely an *undercount* and this is while the government is framing the pandemic as “over.” Personally, I refuse to accept this level of sickness and death as our “new normal.”
I don’t think PCDC is on Mastodon yet, but I definitely recommend following them for good summaries of COVID information: peoplescdc.org. Please wear a well-fitted respirator indoors and stay safe out there.
So I’m editing the indieweb wiki and suddenly I lost the game. Good job, Ben. Nowhere is safe!
An odd thing to me about the San Diego library is how frequently you have to renew the card — every two years, I think. I mostly check out e-books and since they use third-party apps, the apps apparently don’t check if your card is still active. I only found out my card expired when I logged in to look up a print book.
My friend Laurie is looking for new work. She has experience as a field interviewer, illustrator, writing consultant, and personal assistant. Looking in Indiana or for remote work.
Please help boost or get in touch with her on LinkedIn if you know of anything! linkedin.com/in/laurieguerrettaz/
He was probably sad because the gas station was out of honeybuns.
That Reddit guy’s song would probably actually work for R2.
If you’re not already familiar with the context... I’m sorry. XD
My oven is fixed now which means I can make cinnamon rolls tomorrow! From the tube, not homemade, but still — cinnamon rolls!
There’s going to be a Tron 3 with Jared Leto. It’s Tronin’ time!

I was thinking only instances that someone had followed me from would have the local cache of my profile. Is it also on instances I have followed someone on? If so, I think followers-only seems like a good start.
Support profile updates
It would be nice if BF could send profile update activities when h-card bio, photo, and link(s) change. I recently changed the h-card on my homepage and instances aware of me prior to that still have my old photo. You mentioned in chat that BF would need to poll for updates. I also wonder if an on-demand option could work via a webmention trigger? I have not thought through this in-depth, but maybe microformats like:

Latest stable release?
I have been using the latest release via Composer (2.1.0) in some projects pretty smoothly (thanks!), but I noticed there are newer branches 3.x and 4.x here. What is the latest stable branch and will there be a new Composer release for it? Presuming those branches are stable, is there documentation for migrating from 2.x?
★★★★★ Stories of Your Life and Others
Mike McHargue recommended this book on his podcast years ago and I didn’t realize until I checked it out that the title short story was adapted into the film Arrival, which is one of my favorites. Based on that, I had high hopes of it being a good collection and it did not disappoint. Highly recommended — both the film and this collection.
