  We have these here in the UK but the mechanism is the other way round, so that it makes to sense 👍

  Looking at the above chart and the person in question I don’t think so.

  I cannot find any other instances, do you happen to have a list or could point me in a direction? (I know you could host your own instance with this: github.com/bluesky-social/pds )

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists say X (formerly Twitter) has lost its professional edge — and Bluesky is taking its place⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And (probably) for his friends who happen to just have the tech handy to realise this project and weirdly get the tender for it. Oh he works at that place now that he’s done woth being a politician? Nothing wrong with that!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norwich man told to stay away from flags after mural clash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is kinda wholesome? I would have thought the police / authorities would go all like “Its just a flag, nothing wrong with that” and act(?) completely blind on the circumstances of the cituation.

  Yeah, that seems like the most standard configuration two people can be arranged (unless: someone giving a talk - about farting? - turning to the projection while the other listens?)

  Who cares.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex-Google CEO: Power Grid Crisis Could Kill AI's Next Big Leap⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would they, there’s nothing to gain for them in doing that, so they won’t. They only care about profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are password managers secure to use?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
