@bsky.app And split screen on iPad Air 2 also doesn’t work :/

@bsky.app Do you think you could design the app to effectivly adapt to an iPad Air 2 screen?

Right now the app takes up roughly 1/3rd of my screen right in the middle as a narrow colum.

Can you change it so it adapts to the width of the screen please?

You have been given a Touring Ship from Adventure Class Ships.

One side of the hull folds down into a stage so rock bands can perform live on different worlds.

So... what is your Traveller rock band called?

That was bullshit. If you know the width of a rugby ball you can do the math and see it was on the fucking ground.

I mean seriously what do they think. That all lorry drivers are to be trusted and that they stick to a 22 mile stretch of road with many exits points?

Could be an easy(ish) UX fix too? like if you open up someone's profile in the feed (on mobile) you want to check their bio and/or either follow or block. Right now only follow is listed as default, but there's room for another button

Yeah, they've got some work to do around this kinda stuff, but the main pieces are there.

What I'd like to see is a little more explanation around blocked posts in comment threads (it's not really clear if I've blocked them, vice-versa, or some other block relationship.)

It’d be nice to see BlueSky incorporate the activity pub protocol at some point because right now Mastodon/Lemmy etc are busier social media places.

The French Connection is currently available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
I will NEVER get bored of listening to Don Ellis' soundtrack that accompanies the movie. The main theme tune is epic.
