I put the entire description for the Lampton coat of arms into Sora to see if it could generate a stained glass pattern. Incredible results. Attached are the notarized description, a commissioned drawing we inherited, and the Sora output.

Turns out a 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX can haul 1 ton. *Should it*?

I'm excited to be participating in @fldrupal.camp later this month. Lots of great sessions!

I'll be leading "Back(drop) to the Future" to outline some reasons that make Backdrop a great choice for certain types of projects.

More info here: www.fldrupal.camp/session/back...

The words "Backdrop to the Future" in the style of the old "Back to the Future" movie.

This is super cool. What a neat feature that it pins to the home screen.

Incredible! What an effort to assemble such vintage tech. 😂

Transfer complete and password updated. I realized afterward that Bluesky has "App Passwords" that I should have used instead. But overall, very pleased! Nice to have this bit of my history preserved.

Chart of my posts by year, from 2022 to 2009, with a count of each year, ranging from 3 to 126 posts annually.

(Yes you need to give them your bsky.app password 😓, best do it now while there's not much at stake)

I was informed by friend @sugaroverflow.com that I can import my Twitter history via blueark.app. Her feed looks comprehensive so I'm giving it a shot. Don't mind the 3 year gap since I last tweeted.

Probably not... I tried 3 separate times and it's just so darn clunky. If tech people can't figure it out, it's not going to reach critical mass. The Fediverse tech needs to be invisible, but in Mastodon it's in your face all the time. Bsky isn't immune to capitalism but it's at least resistant.

Nice one @hotsce.com! Whoa, you have some kind of fancy custom handle, neato.

Nate Lampton @quicksketch.org · Nov 17

Hello Bluesky! I heard there's a lot more activity here recently so I'm checking in. Can't wait to put years of content on a new platform that will eventually succumb to capitalism.

I've had the last straw with @AAAInsurance after unfairly profiling my dog as "vicious" based on race and not behavior or history. Anyone have suggestions for pitbull-friendly home insurance?

The RTBC queue is clear and we're ready for the release of Backdrop 1.23.0 tomorrow! 🚀

At Backdrop LIVE last month we had a great discussion on branding Backdrop CMS as "Drupal Classic". While that seems unlikely, @StPaulTim wrote up an excellent thought-piece on how Drupal and Backdrop have common ground for helping D7 users:...

The C block of #BackdropLIVE starts in 15 minutes with a discussion on next steps for Entity Reference in Backdrop core. We might try out an upgrade from Node and Term References and see how it goes! https://events.backdropcms.org/discussions/entity-reference-is-now-in-core-what-next

If you're interested in learning more about Entity Reference, how it was implemented, and what is next for references in Backdrop core, we're having a session at #BackdropLIVE online this Friday!

By directly supporting the most popular contrib reference solution from both Drupal 7 and existing Backdrop sites, we hope to continue to make #BackdropCMS the easiest solution for long-term, continuous support for D7 sites.

We completed merging Entity Reference into #BackdropCMS core today! https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/1301

After today's responses from @FSF and Richard Stallman, I wish http://rms-open-letter.github.io was still accepting signatures. With the current FSF board, things are shaking down how signatories predicted. The whole board needs to go.
