Hi Bluesky community 🦋.
I just pushed the official website for Sky Follower Bridge 🚀
sky-follower-bridge-docs.vercel.app
I hope this tool helps with the transition from X to Bluesky.

Sky Follower Bridge
Instantly find and follow the same users from your 𝕏 followers on Bluesky

Just in case anyone needs it: I just used this Chrome extension to suck up all the Twitter followers I left behind by coming to Bluesky (and more frequently Mastodon). It worked really well and I'd highly recommend it if you, like me, have struggled to do this manually.

& contrast of late blue sky gave out to allow the new moon to cut through - that which will swell solstice to next year's 1st full - setting into late afternoon, slipping under the wire & behind the ridge

Every time our fibre upgrade gets cancelled by Openreach or BT Business, the latter sends us a new pack of routers and 4g modems. I've got a stack of about four now.

Trying to convince myself that buying a Switch Lite for my commute (mostly for TOTK) is an unselfish and in fact helpful thing to add to my life.

Huh. This time it wasn't DNS but it was my fstab.
(Overnight three minute power failure caused both my linux machines to boot into 👻😱 EMERGENCY MODE😱👻 and I think it was because my fstab was hacked together badly and was due to error out on the next reboot unknowingly.)

Asked an LLM what openworld games akin to Zelda: BOTW are available for Android and it suggested Genshin Impact and Red Dead Redemption. Stupid LLM, I thought, RDR is absolutely not available for Android.
Oh.
It is.
Oh.
It is.

Listening to post rock It's like being on hold but you can turn the volume up MUCH LOUDER than your average phone can go.

Bought some cheapass USB-C earbuds so that I can watch and listen to stuff on the way home tonight (long story...) and it's both fun to have headphones with a weird plug and humbling to hear how simultaneously good and bad they sound. It actually suits this punky garage rock album.

Alpha test unit of Pebble Time 2 on its way to me! It's been fun helping issue bug reports etc on Pebble 2 Duo and I am loving the Pebble lifestyle in 2025, having had a Pebble back in 2016 or so. I never had a colour screen Pebble last time so it's exciting to test the new one.

HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

Ten perfect minutes with a wintering blackcap in Inch Park this morning. Picking berries, eating berries, and wiping her beak - pick, eat, wipe, repeat - the whole time I was watching her 🥰

When I see that the porch light is on at 3.20pm and wonder what's gone wrong and then I remember it is set to come on one hour before sunset and that all is actually well 😱

Developing a Stinger-style tyre puncturing tool that shoots from the toes of my shoes if a driver blats straight over a pedestrian crossing that I'm already on.

They shouldn't be allowed to lie. The phone says there's an update but it's an ad and the bank says they're giving me less than money each month and it's a treat. Don't lie to me in my phone.

It also looks strikingly like a cardboard sleeve for a blank VHS tape
