Okay you lot. Seems you can now keep in contact with me.
Basically, you need to follow the @ap.brid.gy account (bsky.app/profile/ap.b...) to do the synching.
Then follow my bridged account from Mastodon (bsky.app/profile/Phil...) and magic happens.

What kind of absolute monster says this to the Pike River families
"There are accidents that will happen. What I'm wanting to focus on is, how do I improve the overall economy and the situation that businesses and workers find themselves in?" - Van Velden. #PikeRiver
"She seemed to be focusing all the time on the employers and I sat and listened to it for a little while and then I just couldn't stand it" - Sonya Rockhouse. #PikeRiver

Whoa.
That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today.
With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.

Question for the Fediverse...
What's your favourite _looking_ octopus?
I have an octopus to paint as part of a resin model. It's a decent size (palm of my hand?) and a core focus of the print, so I want to do it justice.

Okay - I'm planning a departure from big tech.
Looking for an alternative to Google Photos, ideally with auto-tagging & possibly facial recognition - but self-hosted and able to be run on a Pi 4.
Any recommendations? #helpwanted #fedihelp #boostsok

One thing I miss about Twitter is being able to ask a question like "Did ANZAC troops on the Western Front in WWI paint kiwi or other symbols on their Brodie helmets?" and actually get relatively regularly expert input.

I see a common argument that Americans still use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius because it's more precise and natural for humans. This is wrong. The reason America uses Fahrenheit is because of Ronald Reagan. Surprised?

I was told that the video was recorded using a Samsung phone with the "hyper-lapse" function. Looking around online suggested a default time-lapse speed of 10x.
So if this was exactly right, then the lower bound is closer to 108,000 people.
