Confirming that I'm redirecting my mastodon.cloud profile to toot.cat.

If you're still following https://mastodon.cloud/@dredmorbius ...

... you want to be following https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius instead.

That be here: @dredmorbius

@feonixrift I've just checked and can unfollow/follow (and add to lists) my toot.cat instance. Hrm.

@dredmorbius I am a space alien cat and I approve this message.

This is the new new me -- dredmorbius at toot.cat.

Migrating from mastodon.cloud, which is not, has not been, and will not be doing well.

@feonixrift Try now & LMK if you could, thanks.

Is this mostly dead or partly alive?

@feonixrift Right. I'm trying to sort that right now.

So, yeah, given #mastodonCloud's long-time flakiness and impending transfer to a pretty-much unknown entity, I'm going to be moving to toot.cat, as long promised and/or threatened.

We'll see how well the automigration stuff works.

I'll be interested to see if blocks propagate .... Both ways ;-)

@brennen I've cobbled together a bash-sed-awk frankenscript to reduce NOAA's weather report page to minimalistic textly goodness.

It takes a startling amount of code to de-cruft that.

@DoctorDee One of the women has skinned a child and is preserving its hide.

@sir That is an important cat.

All cats are important.

Why do I think web browsers would be simpler if they seperated forms from hypertext?

Because then for hypertext I can define HTML *almost* entirely by a CSS stylesheet, and not worry about more events than clicks & *maybe* copy/drag.

And I can handle webforms however's best for the device/OS! Without worrying about it conflicting the visual design of the page.

Without JS or inline forms, I don't have to implement the massively over-engineered OOP "Document Object Model"!
