Looks like a sulfur crested cockatoo. The CGI sells it because this is the kind of shit they would do.

Plenty of videos showing their real life shenanigans. (E.g. “cockatoo eating croissant” or “cockatoo opening bin”).

I love them, but Jesus they can be a pain in the arse sometimes.

iPhone user and monthly signal donor here. Have been using it since it was available for signal. Have managed to get everyone I care about to install and use it.

I basically made it the only way to message me and get my attention.

I’m not that special, I just care about my friends and I think they might like me enough to do this one thing for me. At least they know they can cut me out of their lives by uninstalling signal.

Pretty much. I watch all the NordVPN Man ads and don’t even sign up for a 12 month discount and the first month free. I’m basically a criminal.

Also Mullvad FTW.

I manually skip all sponsored segments except for the Internet Historian ones.

That Cassini video showing an impression of the probe entering Saturn’s atmosphere gets me every time 😭🫡

I also encourage people to repost content from Reddit to Lemmy. It’s free estate!

It’s also morally and ethically sound.

Same. I don’t even care if people steal content from over there and repost it here. In fact, if attributed, I encourage it.

I don’t get it.

I don’t get it.

Yeah mastodon has come a long way. I hope your govt manages to pull it off just to prove it can be done.

Then I think many others will follow.

It really does make a lot of sense for govts. They have their instance and can then host accounts for all their departments. People from all over the Fediverse can then sub to them for updates.

I think most govt bodies do both.

They run and report on their own infrastructure and also report wherever else the masses are.

Really makes sense for govts to start running their own mastodon instances I reckon.
