this actually sucks.
it seems like they removed having your open tabs at the top of the screen in compact mode. (i.e. the compact tab layout)

one of the reasons i love being a software dev is that if you need something, you can (and should!) build it.
i needed a local gradient background generator, so i made my own >> gradient.nielsjaspers.com
it is simple and limited, but it fits my use case.

reality eventually reasserts itself. "smart" is always what it takes to adapt to one's environment, whether that's preserving attention span despite dopamine saturation (the past ten years), or acquiring independent thinking despite automated reasoning (the next ten years)

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

No need to redraw your diagrams whenever you want to use different shapes!
Now you can use the Tab key to change between basic shapes.

why do so many people have issues with the new verification system?
domain verify is great, but for notable people without domains, what stops impersonation?
seems like the new system helps prevent that where other methods can't.
