Tuesday morning! Absolutely no effect, I’m sure. But I’m definitely a morning person.

Here’s two fun, modern ways to get started learning.English2·2 years agoFWIW, eBird is used extensively internationally. There are some equivalents specific to certain countries but I don’t know what they are. Merlin relies on being trained from user uploaded recordings posted to Macaulay Library, via eBird, so the more people participate the better it becomes.
I’ve used Seek and iNat in Europe and it worked really well still.

bird@beehaw.orgto Nature and Gardening@beehaw.org•A rarity for my region — a Yellow-Billed DuckEnglish1·2 years agoIt’s a really neat find! They are listed as not migratory so maybe your hunch is correct and they were perhaps someone’s pets that escaped?
Either way, I would be excited to report them on eBird or the German equivalent with the photos! 🤩
bird@beehaw.orgto Nature and Gardening@beehaw.org•A rarity for my region — a Yellow-Billed DuckEnglish1·2 years agoOften times, strange ducks and geese you see at your local park will be from weird parts of the world. They are usually considered ornamental and were placed there intentionally.
Here in the US at many of our parks we have Egyptian Geese:
bird@beehaw.orgto Music@beehaw.org•Do you listen to any new bands? Or just same as 10 years ago?4·2 years agoI am super into consuming new and contemporary music (mainly pop and R&B). I traditionally used a subreddit to follow all of the new releases, so I’ll have to see how to stay as current all things considered.
My listening habits usually revolve around rotating the new stuff ad nauseam until all meaning and emotion is gone, then accepting more new music as it releases.
I love looking at my yearly top 100 song playlists and shuffling them for some spice.

Yep I agree. I saw a similar sentiment on discord regarding data harvesting and defederation. They are going to do it regardless and there’s not much anyone can do to stop them.
If these large sites start communicating via activitypub, it will be interesting to see how it changes dynamics. It would be interesting to be able to see and follow friends from social networks I left behind over the years.
bird@beehaw.orgto Music@beehaw.org•Remember Rebecca Black? Last February she released her first album, and it's an absolute banger.English4·2 years agoShe is. She’s really grown into her own. In addition to her great album (I have it on vinyl) she’s done a lot of fun features with all kinds of different artists.
Anyone reading this, I recommend listening to ‘Crumbs’ from her new record.
If you were running your own (even single-user) instance of lemmy, you could defederate with any instance and still participate in others as normal.
I love playing Spire on my iPad! It’s such a fun and strategic game!! I love how every run is different and getting OP feels so fun!
I just saw the video! Crazy! What an asshole! I hope she’s okay.
