Managed to get a first list of Irish verified users from the yoke formerly known as Twitter and map them to Bluesky accounts (if they exist) - it's not quite Sky Follower Bridge! Using @jonkeegan.com's list from github, mlr to strip out some unwanted \n's, head, grep, sort, jq, and more to get here!

Great article by Oana Olteanu “Against Usefulness” that centers @folkcomputer.bsky.social while describing “the stage before useful, who works on it, and who pays for it, so that the next generation of useful companies has something to stand on”

Against Usefulness

In a Brooklyn warehouse, a man handed me a piece of paper that was a running computer program.

@jonkeegan.com Thanks for your Tw Verified List - we found that Miller is handy for dealing with the linefeeds in some of the text fields: mlr --csv put ' for (k in $*) { if (is_string($[k])) { $[k] = gsub($[k], "\n", " "); } } ' verified_users_2022-11-02.csv > verified_noextralfs.csv 💙
