This should be a pinned post as it really captures the essence of my experience so far.

Randall Monroe has provided me with weekly nibbles of entertainment for nearly 2 decades. But this was inspired by his style, not created by him.
I realize that now. Well done!
I also did not create this.
In that case. It's terrible! I hate it!
It's perfectly adequate, i tolerate it.
Do you remember what the original was?
I think it's https://xkcd.com/1425/
Funny, now it's easy to check for birds.
If by "easy" you mean someone else already spent 5 years and a nice chunk of cash training a model for it, which you get to use. And if you accept that it will not be accurate across all possible species and environments, only very specific subsets.
We spent the five years training the model. Manually. With Captcha data.
Now we're teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles or busses, or try to drive up stairs.
I'm waiting for the day Google Recaptcha will ask me "is that traffic light red?" and after a couple of seconds "hurry up, I'm approaching the intersection!"
I've been self-hosting Mastodon for a while and mostly using it to share bird photography, but also to provide comments on a static site. Since Mastodon and Lemmy both speak ActivityPub, those get crossposted to /c/flashlight so Lemmy comments are also included on my site. Federation is cool.
I don't follow many accounts that post Fediverse meta stuff on Mastodon. While I have some interest in the best examples of that content, the only way to attract a broader community is to promote accounts and content appealing to the interests of that broader audience.

insert Thanos stone meme.
We self host an instance to share knowledge about self-hosting that instance.
Reminds me of early days of Linux.
You should ditch windows and switch to Linux! It has everything!
What I can I do on it?
You can compile your own kernel!
