MuteSky — Mute in Bulk on Bluesky
MuteSky helps you efficiently manage your Bluesky experience by providing powerful bulk muting capabilities. Filter your feed, manage content, and customize your experience with ease.
mutesky.app
For those of you looking to avoid the news today, check out @mutesky.app, which mutes political and distressing keywords. Temporarily set it to Complete filtering which adds about 1500 mute keywords. Performance will be impacted a bit but worth it. After the hubbub, set it back to Minimal.

Thanks again to @andrewpla.tech for having me on #PowerShell Wednesday and the PowerShell Podcast recent. Had a blast, always love talking about toast (and catching up with a mate!)
BurntToast turns #PowerShell into lovely toast notifications
Here’s @toastit.dev creating a toast notification with a button that launches Notepad. Use your imagination and think of the possibilities!
Try it yourself:
Install-Module BurntToast

I've been a fan of Material for MkDocs since I was introduced to it through the stucco #powershell module. The stale upstream MkDocs community represented a lot of risk through, so the Material team have introduced a new SSG I'm excited to try. Faster builds and better live previews are 💪
Zensical – a modern static site generator.
We're excited to release @zensical.org, our new SSG that is compatible with Material for MkDocs:
– 5x faster rebuilds
– Modern design
– Blazing-fast search

I published the first version of the PSPlaywright PowerShell module. After switching to Claude, I was able to fine tune the help and tests and feel pretty good about it. I’m sure there are issues but give it a play and open issues if you find stuff!

dbatools had fewer pages and is more important, so I used Claude Code, smarter but $$. For my regular blog, I went with Codex w/GPT-5 minimal reasoning instead since it comes with my ChatGPT sub. I wrap it then just
