I hadn't intended to change the colors, but the latest version of the "Elegance" style removed the 7 different color variations, of which "steel blue" was the one we used here. I could probably use an earlier version of the style and get our old colors back. I LOVE the new look!

I often search for certain topics and view that way. And, I look up people whom I follow but who are not in the feed for whatever reason. The way you search is an excellent use of X.

Welp, I guess this means I'm signing up for a Twitter (X) account.


Be forewarned: I usually feel worse after spending time on X


That must mean you just view by your feed and do not create separate lists?

The X algorithm will get you on the feed; not on a list.

Re: BTC in the PP

Interesting property of Bitcoin is that, like other commodities, as the price rises, more miners come online because it is now profitable where it wasn’t before. Likewise, hard to access gold becomes more worthwhile to dig up. However, with Bitcoin, the miners are competing for their share of daily...
