So Google is at it again, this time arbitrarily cutting older nest thermostats off from the Internet. If you own one of these smart devices, it still soon be pretty dumb.
I am trying to find a way of hacking mine so I can still access it remotely. If anyone has any thoughts, please share them!

Morning BlueSky'ers .... looking for an online course on inflammaging, cellular senescence, or both that is aimed at the medical peer, but not at the expert immunologist / biologist.
Would love a pointer as I am not having much luck with Herr Google ...
(Thanks)

Now's the time, progressives, to talk about electoral reforms in Canada. A decent, intelligent leader in need of some deals. A bedraggled NDP that needs to see a more appropriate vote to seat ratio, in the position to provide those deals to a minority government. Electoral convention now, please.

So if anyone is interested in community driven social history projects, our group in the tiny community of Port l'Hebert Nova Scotia would like to show off ... I am so proud of their work :). This is how we keep oral, local history alive!

So, bluenose bass players of Bluesky ... How does someone who is 185 years old and relatively (<2 years) new to the bass find jam partners on the south shore of Nova Scotia? I am going to be cabin bound for the summer ... halfway between Liverpool and Shelburne ... and I would love to play.

So. Does anyone have contact information for the lead design engineer for KitchenAid?
Because I want to suggest that they make a video of this person disconnecting the water line. As a form of punishment for their many, many sins.

Just a quick note, folks ... I noticed some comments on a recent reply that were antagonistic, rude, argumentative and/ or insulting. We are going to have lots of political disagreements in the next few months. But ... this is Bluesky, not Reddit, or X. I block and move from that sort of content.

I have said it before and will keep saying it. Remove US flags from outside of businesses, inside arenas and public buildings and anywhere else they might be flown. The US is causing hundreds of thousands of CDNs to lose their jobs.
Remove those flags.
Repost if you agree.
