The 3.6.0 version has had a few small improvements in the code. Especially, when saving or recompiling a survey, the scroll position of the window is saved. Also, a new color scheme for surveys has been added. Let us know if you have any issues with these things.

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance. We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is. Joy is my favorite weapon.
