one thing about the AirPods Pro 3 that I noticed pretty quickly was that I could actually use my AirPods while the case charged? Was this a feature of the AirPods 4 that I didn’t know about or is this a change?

Even though I’ve been heavily invested in my Scottish heritage recently, I’ve still got a lot of love, respect and appreciation for Spain. Going to be picking up this flag that my dad has offered me next week.

check what accounts exist on bear.croft.click now
- Thought: 888ms
The user wants to check what accounts exist on bear.croft.click. This appears to be an AT Protocol (ActivityPub) PDS (Personal Data Server). I should explore the codebase to understand how to query this, or check if there's a CLI tool or API endpoint available.
Let me first look at the MetalBear codebase to see how to list accounts or query the PDS for users.
