Have blocked multiple accounts that post images (some real, some generated) of foxes. Weird bsky phenomenon…? I like #foxes but not accounts that beg for attention.

Is there a bot army tasked with making library posts? I keep seeing variations of “get a library card, even if you don't plan to use it! 📚 👍” To be clear, I like libraries. It just feels a bit like that video grid of newscasters all saying the exact same thing. 🤖

1:3 A note about the #BTECH 2-Pin K1 to 3.5mm Adapter with One-Touch PTT. When used with my Apple earbuds, there is a very loud pop whenever a new signal is received. This is noted in several Amazon reviews.

2:3 When used with my AirPods Max headphones (and Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Audio Cable) the loud pop is gone. It seems to be an issue specific to the Apple earbuds — and maybe other earbud models? I'm using the model with lightning connector and lightning to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter. 🎧

I've digitized my personal copy of the DVD series and bumped up to HD resolution with the wonderful #ffmpeg ffmpeg -i input -vf "yadif,scale=1920:1080:flags=lanczos" -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 18 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac_at -b:a 128k -tune animation output The result is acceptable for me 👍

What if follow/follower count was hidden by default and had to be toggled on in end user settings? Would love to draw focus away from that on #bluesky 🦋

Looking for some entirely ridiculous items to write down on a grocery list to leave behind in a store. I want to leave the staff wondering what kind of #Thanksgiving I'm having!

With #Bluesky, “you’re no longer tied to a dominant algorithm that promotes either the most polarizing posts and/or the biggest brands,” @rose.bsky.team, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said in a recent video explaining the site to new users. She added, “It’s built by the people, for the people.”
