@peterlewis55.bsky.social Looks like a rare clear sky tonight. Any tips? Is the Planetary Parade still visible?

@adamjogee.bsky.social Many thanks to my MP for raising the issue of #prescriptioncharges for YOPD #Parkinsons sufferers in Parliament. Hopefully this condition can be added to the Exemptions List. PD is a degenerative neurological condition requiring lifelong medication.

Word of the day is ‘cumber-world’ (14th century): a person or thing that encumbers the planet.

BlueSky doing the Twitter thing of giving me a timeline full of posts a day late 🤨 #yesterdaysnews

Planet Parade! All four bright ones captured today (02.00 to 19.00) using different methods (see ALT notes). Jupiter (& Europa, Io & Callisto), Venus in its crescent form), Mars (with Castor & Pollux) defocused to reveal its redness & Saturn (with rings almost side on). #astronomy #astrophotography

@evroadtrip.bsky.social You need a visit to Biddulph Grange Garden bookshop. There have been four boxes under the display for weeks now, not selling apparently. Railway books. 📚 🚆

Broken Polestar 2 armrest repaired. Broken original cheap plastic clips replaced with hardwood dowel at the back of the slider tubes and rawlplugs and screws at the front. Quite pleased with myself. Warranty visit saved. Shouldn’t be necessary in an 18 month old car of this value.

BlueSky has a great Bonsai presence. Never had this on X. I’ve enjoyed Bonsai for several decades but my interest has been rekindled this winter thanks to the many accounts here.

Looks like it’s definitely worth upgrading the source rather than the TV. I stopped using my original Apple TV box as my LG OLED had it built in. 4K Apple TV seems well worth purchasing.

If your into TV / Home Cinema / Tech just wanted to share my experience with the Apple TV 4K, it genuinely has brought my TV to life, had the TV 3 years & movies shows have never looked so good. Used the iPhone screen calibration feature and it has made a HUGE difference. Smoother, cleaner image.

Latest Apple IOS update has ruined e-mail. Previous one ruined photos. How are these changes improvements? Am I missing something?

Anyone updated their iPhone to the newest iOS? The newest update has continued the enshittification. The new mail app with multiple email accounts is almost unusable. To the point where I’m tempted to just delete it and download gmail.

@bsky.app today, 99% US posts of little interest to me. Definitely needs to be more regional.

Those valve caps on Amazon. Smarter than the plastic ones, only a fiver. Do not buy!! Had a puncture today. Repaired but found all 4 caps stuck to the valves. Apparently cheap Chinese alloy & brass reacts. Who knew? Me now 😔

Ever wanted to own part of a wind turbine? Now you can! Invest directly in Great Britain’s green energy transition through the Octopus Energy Collective ⚡️🧵 Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.
