Playing about with backlight mod hacks for the original WonderSwan. Neither are perfect, but it's so hard to see without some help (or the Sun on your shoulder).

Very strange that the Guardian would publish an article about the “toxic power struggles” within Your Party, and not once mention MPs Iqbal Mohamed and Adnan Hussain leaving the party - widely believed to be over bitter arguments about trans rights.

My blog has a CSS file (".less" … no less) that has over 2,000 lines of code.
The file started *at least* in September 2014, and I'm fairly sure I've not deleted anything since.
I should probably sweep that back under the carpet!

Sending my first pull request to an external project where copilot did the bulk of the work (though I did review, refactor and carefully manually test).
I feel about 80% unclean about it, but I would have written the same code…

Support multiple images in sending mastodon posts by remy · Pull Request #9 · valerio-vaccaro/node-red-contrib-mastodon
Hi there,
I've started using this project for sending mastodon post, but I wanted to support multiple images. I initially had copilot do the ground work then refactored some of the code myself ...

Not sure how mentions are going to pan out, but I have a fairly solid cross posting system from bluesky to my mastodon account (including images with alt text).
Then there's the question: if this is automated, how often am I going to drop by front-end.social to see what (other) friends are up to?

Does bluesky allow for multiple images? (I think it does)

On Friday, we will officially announce them, so you have until then to try to figure out who this is.🤫

Bit of a headache, especially to debug, but I think I've got a bluesky to (my own) mastodon account cross poster working using node-red (rather than a mirror process with bridgy).
Why node-red? Because my home assistant is always running, and node-red can run there.
(sorry for the test messages!)

Okay. I've invented a rather over the top (read: redundant) wheel.
If I've read the manual right, I "just" use bridgy and this post should work its way across to Mastodon.

Today I discovered THREE copies of Photoshop on my desktop: 2024, 2025 and 2026 … which, hasn't happened?
I should really cancel that account, especially after I paid for Affinity _and_ it's free now.
