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
sky-follower-bridge-docs.vercel.app
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.

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
damnit I'm old enough to have misread that as SCART then wondered why the hell a 50" QLED would have that

I love this so much. It roughly translates to "The ISS astronauts, who have an actual job to do, are currently ASLEEP - will you nerds please stop bothering them and trying to ask them to reboot your silly little Raspberry Pi amateur radio experiment. They will get to it when they can. Thank you."

Remember in GoldenEye (video game) if you had the slow mo cheat on, you could shoot a guy like 500 times, and it's still playing his death animation from the first shot the whole time, and it's just going thkthkthkthkthk and it sounds really cool. In the video game. That was fun.

The Android bluesky app "you've opened it while you're temporarily offline" oopsidoops fail mode is to... Show the login screen. Not only is this the worst possible user interaction, it presents you with something that you can't even do in that mode anyway. What a bizarre design decision.

Gently amused that at busy underground stations the staff have to handwrite with whiteboard pens any updates about delays and can't, say, takeover some of the Global video advertising screens in the event of severe delays or other big announcements.

@ericmigi.com hey Eric, is the new Pebble USB-C charger adapter available to buy on its own yet if I want to buy a spare? (I actually contacted Nomad first and they had no idea what I was talking about, haha!)

Genuinely wondering if traditional broadcast TV ratings are still guesswork/focus groups while iPlayer and other streaming is pinsharp accurate?
I imagine there's more info on this available, tis but an idle wonder.

With the BBC iPlayer on top still to come I think we're heading towards the most popular episodes of The Traitors ever.
More than 7 million viewers for Celebrity Traitors last night. Sensational in this day and age.

I am sorry for the mince pies
That you made
That had a best before of fucking mid October
And which you were probably hoping
Would not need to be reduced
Because you didn't sell nearly as many as you expected
Please try harder in future
