@miyotehew@turtleisland.social FWIW, I was surprised to learn how BIG these birds are! (BIG!)
“Adults are 40 to 49 cm (16 to 19 in) long, span 66 to 75 cm (26 to 30 in) across the wings, and weigh 225 to 400 g (7.9 to 14.1 oz)”

.@IsaacOstlund@mastodon.world Well done Sean Keating!
Here’s a friendly cross-reference image in case someone doesn’t recognize the inspirational classic 1889 painting, “The Starry Night” by Vincent van Gogh.

Around here, they like to blast away on neighbor’s dish antennas. 🙀

So it's *not* going to die/evaporate or otherwise become unusable after this coming August?

Hiya! I’ve been meaning to ask about the message I get every time I install a new version. Please explain?
"Warning: librewolf has been deprecated because it does not pass the macOS Gatekeeper check! It will be disabled on 2026-09-01.”
——
P.S. I’m on a MacBook Air, latest OS, and do updates via the Terminal app running the Oh My Zsh shell, on the command line, as in:
"brew install --cask librewolf”
BTW, just updated to Librewolf 147.0.4,1.

To some, this article may seem to start out kinda slow, but after laying some groundwork, it builds and builds until I literally Laughed Out Loud *TWICE* further in!

.@desikn @Emily Note that the YYYY-MM-DD format (also sometimes just YYYYMMDD) is super spreadsheet friendly, and makes sorting a breeze.🌬️ 📆
Personally, in my notes I like tacking a day of week identifier on the end, as in 20250425F, where
M = Monday
T = Tuesday
W = Wednesday
R = Thursday
F = Friday
S = Saturday
U = Sunday

@ghoulpus@xoxo.zone FYI: Her follow up comment today:
@Ananas Toilet demons? Wellllll…
⚠️ CAUTION ADVISED:
You can do a web search for “snakes in toilets” and tap the “images” tab.
…Butt I’d recommend against it. 🫣
