Wildly unexpected. πŸ’œ

I'm a huge Star Trek as well as lover of Birds. imagine my surprise to see a Klingon carrying binos and then saying, "I watch birds." My family started laughing because I wear a t-shirt often that simply says, "I like birds" and they were really really hoping that you would say that. Haha. Close enough!

I have a very serious two part question:

  1. What is Jay-Den's favorite bird? And...
  2. What is Karim's favorite bird?

Is Dungeon Meshi worth it if I'm not into anime? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] CosmicGoat@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

I watched the English dubbed anime with my kids. It's absolutely hilarious and loads of fun. Never in a million years would I have believed such a mashup possible.

I know many of the manga lovers seemed to like the adaption. I'm not personally into anime, but I still loved this show. I'd especially recommend it if you're into d&d... and absurdity... and laughing.

So I tried again. Turns out that I had to hit an inconspicuous "continue on the web" link first and then it let me watch. Honestly, I don't usually click links to meta, twitter, or any of them. And when I do, if they don't play immediately, I just close the tab and move on with life. Haha.

Yeah, I even clicked instagram link because I thought maybe it would play, but it seems you have to be logged on and I've never had credentials. There are sites that give read-only access these services without logging in, but sometimes even some of those want you to subscribe and pay.

It's nice to just have a straightforward link that plays, so thanks.

This is... incredible.

P.S. Thank you for the alternate link. πŸ’œ

Two mysteries solved (lemmy.ca)
 

Two bird learnings for today. I've had trouble identifying a couple of birds for a long while. Using a telephoto lens really helped.

  1. There's a variety of little birds that have thrown me off for some time. I could never quite pin them down until today, when I finally got a good look at the back of their heads and realized they were Ruby-crowned Kinglets! I never had binos or a good lens on hand when I see them and, without the red crown flaring, I missed the subtle red dot. Mystery solved! (I'll include a meh photo I took today that shows the elusive red spot).

  2. Turns out those dark little birds have been Dark-eyed Junco all along. I had presumed they would be larger, which I need to stop doing for birds. I was also getting confused by their variety in color. Thanks to their pink beaks and song, I think I finally have them down now. Another mystery solved.

PixelFed to Mastodon Federation Issues? (lemmy.ca)
 

Any idea why it is that my PixelFed posts aren't federating properly to my Mastodon instance? I understand that posts should be visible, but it's inconsistent.

I am following my pixelfed account from my masto. I'm not yet following anyone else from masto itself. Perhaps it's related to following, but random pixelfed.social accounts seem to be fully accessible from my mastodon account when I try them.

Anyway, the inconsistency makes it challenging for me to figure out if the problem is with pixelfed.social federating out or if it's a problem with universeodon.com receiving posts.
