What was up with that anyway? Are dogs just healthier now? Is their food better? Or are more people picking up poo so we simply see less poo of any colour?

You need to figure out where you can upload a DNS record. For me it was somewhere in my cpanel but sometimes it's on a dashboard at the place where you registered the domain or host the site. Then you create a new TXT record with the info Bluesky gives you when you follow the steps from the settings

That's perfect, because yesterday I found a VERY discounted Christmas cheese board on sale. Still well before the "best before" date; they only discounted it because it had christmas branding.

This whole saga reminds me of the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, although that was a deliberate test for internet literacy. AI today is not internet literate enough to distinguish fact from fiction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific...

I don't need a fully functional paid account as a freelancer - I just need to be able to hop on other people's calls, so I don't have an "organisation". But since one client added me as a guest to their organisation, I'm now always defaulted to that instead of my own independent self.

I've been meaning to read this! People keep writing books faster than I can read them.

If you think introverts are often smart (e.g. because they're quietly thinking through a problem), do you also think cats are smarter than dogs?
If you think extroverts are often smart (e.g. because they have the confidence to bring their ideas forward) do you also think dogs are smarter than cats?
