Was at the school winter fair.

Santa had to be banished because he got drunk and became handsy with the moms.

Wife got a Cricut maker machine, and wow its the walliest walled garden imaginable.

If you make a design in its tool the only way to get it out is via screenshots of each layer and using Inkscape to trace the layers to SVG

You can append "/rss" to any #Bluesky profile url to get an #RSS feed of that user.

For example, if I do this with my friend @mentat.za.net 's bluesky url, I get bsky.app/profile/ment... - this will forward to bsky.app/profile/did:... which I can subscribe to using any RSS feed reader!

This kept me from using Bluesky for a long time. You can't change this on the default client, but I know that Skeets has a setting for loading new skeets above that should give you the behaviour your after. I'm really hoping this comes to more clients soon.

How do I make the blusky client not jump to the top on refresh arg worst UI pattern.

Some RC car fun this morning.
