Anyone working with @deckset.bsky.social on Mac and iOS? I wrote a little python script to convert Mac presentations (md file + assets folder) to Textbundle files. I use it with Shortcuts as a Quick Action on Mac. github.com/questoph/lif...

You know things are bad in terms of national identity construction when everything has to be part of „us“ in order to be valorized: „our“ language, „our“ financial center, „our“ fortress wall („our“ precarious self-image, one might add). (via RTL)
