Heads up that @bitlyofficial.bsky.social is going to start sliding advertisements into your links.

Teachers, keep an eye out as you'll likely have no control over who those advertisers are. Looking at the state of online ads these days though, it's probably not something you'd endorse. 😩
A screenshot of Bitly's updated terms of service including the line: "Starting in February, your Bitly links and QR Codes may show a preview page before directing your audience to the destination URL. This page includes information about the link and may include advertising"

Very cool - have some Houtou for me! It was near the top of my favorite foods I tried last year. I was mostly based out of Kobe, but we got a van and traveled to all 47 prefectures. Here’s when we stopped by Arakurayama, which I think isn’t too far from Kofu:

Catching up on hearing my man @edcamposjr.bsky.social ask whether the goal with AI is to do more, or to do better?

"Connect to the breath, connect to the body, be present"

As much as I love @bitwarden.bsky.social, the new design choices are really poorly thought through. Worst of all is the "fill" is now a teensy tinsy little button rather than the full (and obvious) card that filled the drop-down.

Super annoying to work with now, esp when it used to be so smooth.
Screenshot of the newly designed BitWarden G.U.I. which makes it much harder to work with, displaying how small the "fill" option on "Autofill" is compared to how it used to be.

Merry Christmas!
This is a festive Christmas scene featuring a decorated Christmas tree adorned with ornaments and colorful lights. Beneath the tree, a variety of wrapped gifts in vibrant, holiday-themed paper are arranged, along with a plush reindeer sitting on one of the presents. On the right, there’s a large gift bag with a cheerful Santa design. The setting is cozy, with sunlight streaming in from the left and a TV and some decorative items visible to the right.

Mountains on a lakeside fading into the distance, split up by wispy fog. A train on the far side of the lake crawls along the foot of the mountain. The scene is split in half horizontally, perfectly reflected by the still lake.
