Bluesky finally has a private bookmarking feature

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-11 10:41:10

Bluesky has added a built-in bookmarking feature so users finally have a way to privately save posts on the platform. The update is out now on Bluesky's website and app. Bookmarks on Bluesky work pretty much like they do on any other service. Save a post and you can revisit it later from the "saved posts" section of the app and website. It's overall a basic feature — there's currently no way to organize your saves into folders, for example — but it's a very long overdue addition to the platform

How Britain built some of the world’s safest roads The death rate per mile driven has declined 22-fold since 1950. A century ago, these were the cars on Britain’s roads. Forget driving lessons or tests; to get behind the wheel legally, all you needed was a paper license, which cost the equivalent of around 25 pence today. Cars had no seatbelts and, of course, no airbags. There were no mirrors to let you see traffic behind. There were no flashing indicators, so your signal to turn left or right
