Bluesky may soon get a new blue checkmark verification system, according to changes to the app’s public GitHub repository spotted Friday by reverse engineer alice.mosphere.at. The blue checks may have a similar look to the system pioneered by Twitter, now X, but Bluesky’s version seems like it will work quite differently. Bluesky’s blue check system may rely on multiple organizations to distribute blue checks, according to the codebase changes. That suggests Bluesky will actively verify notabl

If you want to get into stargazing in 2025, there’s no better place to start than viewing a meteor shower. Meteor showers, or shooting stars, happen when Earth’s orbital path crosses a path of debris left by a comet and that material burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Watching a meteor shower is one of the most accessible ways to engage with the night sky. The next shower of the year is the Lyrids, which peaks overnight on April 21–22 and will be visible until the end of the month. Another sho

Whisky, in my opinion, has not been a positive on the Wine community as a whole. My original goal for the project was for it to be 'engine' agnostic, simply serve as a frontend for Wine, and not provide a bundled version itself. That all changed when GPTK came out at WWDC.
