I'm searching for my boykisser pride flag that I forgot to remove on day 4. In the morning of day 5 it was already gone, and unfortunately L&F doesn't have it. It is marked with my name (bluemedia) and I would be thankful if it found its way back to me!

Boosts welcome

I'll now start adding support for quote posts, which *should* be a breeze because the new code is way more maintainable than the old one.

And then it is time for a Tusky 2⁵ release 🥳

Does anyone know where KDE stores the result from using "calibrate tablet"? It generated some really bad calibrations and I need to delete them or something. I've giving Wayland another test and it's not going well.

edit: never, went back to X11 for the time being. I need some critical patches to land before settling in.

The Psychology of Flavor: Why Whiskey Tasting Is About More Than Taste

Whiskey appreciation is often mistaken for a simple sensory act, yet it is actually a complex cognitive process. When a connoisseur raises a glass of bourbon or scotch, their brain orchestrates a symphony of memory, expectation, and physiological response.

Follow up, 2025-12-27: Rudy here confirms the Blacksky appview is still being worked on (eg: blacksky uses bluesky's appview still)

The sticking point, as he describes it, is "backfill".
