Did @semble.so stop watching the firehose? Earlier this year I was able to add things (cards, collections, etc) just by writing to my repo but that doesn't seem to work now.

@sifa.id is there a way to kick-start my account and have your site re-read all the id.sifa.* records in my repo? For hacking reasons I copied a bunch of records from my did:plc over to my new did:web repo and they aren't showing up for my new sifa id.

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.
Ford app AI prompt, with the user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing." Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still. Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into… one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile. Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E today?

Running as a did:web means never having to worry about losing a rotation key.

I wrote a PDS for self-hosting. Since my host needs a name, it seems natural to use a did:web for my identity, and did:web:babu.dev is a lot more legible than a did:plc. So I'm going to try using this for a while.
