While I was a somewhat regular user of the old bird site, apparently it wasn't enough. Turns out two separate backups of my bird site data and media can fit on a single recordable CD.

Thank you @michaelmjd.bsky.social for bringing bizarre cereal box PC software to my knowledge. Fresh off of eBay!!
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but constant, chaotic, unfiltered news and social media can overwhelm the mind—flooding your attention, stirring up emotions, and making it hard to think clearly. It’s okay to step back and be selective about what you let in. Your mental well-being matters.
TIL there were retail big box copies of RealPlayer 7 Plus. You know... that software you had to download to watch videos on certain websites and instead tried taking over your PC?
What is up with all the Insta pr0n bots lately? They are all the same... spicy PFP, few posts and followers, random name and a story that contains links/instructions for sketchy stuff. They get your attention by liking a random post of yours. Any post. It's getting insane.

The #mnstatefair Administration Building and its 50 year old sign is a must-photograph for me every time I'm at the fair.
So the week I decide to switch to Linux full time just has to be one of the saddest weeks in the real world right now. 😬
About to do a late night computer swap before bed because a certain penguin is calling me over to a brighter future away from BigTech. 😁
The official trailer for ‘The Saga of Rex’ has been released. The indie hand-drawn feature was solo-animated by Michel Gagné over the course of 14 years. Releasing in 2027.
Just remembered this. I used it as a cautionary tale during a logo design project for one of my classes last year.
On one hand, the Discover feed can increase the amount of unwanted content on your screen. On the other hand, I've found a few good artists and people to follow via Discover. At least when you click off Discover and look at another feed, it doesn't come back in focus on it's own.... yet.

#CanadianToonFanArtChallenge No. 2: #AnneOfGreenGablesTheAnimatedSeries This 2000s animated adaptation of the classic novel was shown on PBS Kids in the US, which I liked! There's also Road to Avonlea, which I remembered watching on The Disney Channel (they also partly funded that series)🙂 #MyArt

It's hot outside. Time to bust out the CoolBaby 600-in-1 classic game console!
So you know how ABC is going all out with their 24-hour mega broadcast for 250? Well, for the 225th in 2001, they only had one hour... and it's wonderful! youtu.be/NmRNulBBtO8

It won't matter if Sony still makes money in the end. They burned bridges with this decision and people WILL pirate their PS6 games through any means necessary. So don't be surprised when you see torrents for pirated PS6 games. People will always find a way regardless.
Travis Bickerstaff (🎂 TOMORROW)@bickpixx.bsky.social · 3mo agoAll I'm going to say on this matter is that this will bite Sony in the ass hard.
I don't know why FB keeps recommending me truly gross "skin care" videos in the Reels section. I never asked for them, and when I try to hide one or block an account, I have to load one up and in turn, that feeds the algo and just gives me more of said sick videos. WHO WATCHES THAT CRAP?!!
So I guess July 1st will now be known as Disc Rot Day. Thanks Sony!
It's amazing what kinds of TV history you can find on an old tape inside a 40+ year old VCR that you found at a thrift store.
