Friends of Big Bear Valley has one with bald eagles that's pretty spectacular sometimes. https://www.friendsofbigbearvalley.org/eagles/

Monterey Bay Aquarium has some too. I like the sea otters and African penguins.

I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you.

How do you handle merging between devices? Do you manually transfer/sync every time you add a new password?

Not trying to sell you on putting it in cloud storage or anything, but one really nice benefit to doing so is automatic merging through clients like Keepass2Android. If I add a new site to my phone and it doesn't already have the latest copy of my vault, it'll fetch and merge that first.

Mozilla doubling down on ads in Firefox in c/[email protected]

So just to be clear, people aren't allowed to criticize ads in Firefox unless they're open source developers actively contributing to Firefox or they only use... What, Opera?

Been a few years but I think it's from this show if anyone's curious.

You no longer need to link an Epic Games account to play Earth Defense Force 6 online, as an EDF 6 update removes the restriction on Steam. in c/[email protected]

The camp is a large part of the appeal. Think Japanese sci-fi B-movie that never takes itself too seriously. If you can appreciate bargain bin monster movies, you'll probably dig the goofiness of EDF.

Gamplay-wise, it does get a bit repetitive, but the more recent titles have improved on that somewhat by allowing for more organic progression without having to do quite so much grinding for armor and weapons.

The device in the thumbnail is the Ayaneo Flip DS, for anyone else wondering. From a quick search, it runs Windows and is stupid expensive.

CopenHill deserves a mention, although it would be nice if it were more of a blueprint for industrial architecture going forward, rather than a wonder unique to one progressive European country.

Is Google Maps getting worse? in c/[email protected]

I wasn't able to install from the Play Store, but it's on F-Droid too.

My wife and I just came home from vacation, and after 4½ years of avoiding it, we have COVID. in c/[email protected]

[–] a_baby_duck 7 points 1 month ago

Same happened to my partner and I 2 weeks ago. It started with fever and chills Friday night, tested positive Saturday, started Paxlovid Sunday, fever broke by Monday morning and felt okayish enough to work (from home) on Tuesday. That weekend was a blur and we both still have a gnarly lingering cough, but not the worst thing in the world, even as someone with asthma.

I'm thankful to have avoided it for as long as we did. Not having to worry about overflowing hospitals, having access to Paxlovid, and hopefully avoiding any serious long-term damage thanks to the vaccines makes it a lot less scary than a couple years ago.
