This is a screenshot of the activity in this community. It looks ok to me...

ada , 9 days ago to Ask Lemmy in What specific variety of some fruit do you prefer? (A particular apple, a certain mango, etc.)

Not many. I don't like the fructosey sweet flavour of most fruit. So I love tomatoes, but not much else...

Maybe this thread will help me :)

I assume so! If a bird expert can identify the bird from a given call, chances are, so can the bird pi (though not quite as accurately)

But they move in larger packs, and are more aggressive. No cat is safe from a flock of miners screeching at them!

For what it's worth, I've got a second birdpi set up at my partners house, and there are kookaburras there! And lots of noisy miners too! Those birds really live up to their name, they are really noisy!

Image description: A screenshot from a birdpi, a device that identifies birds by their song, and catalogues their activity vs the time of day. The image shows a small amount of activity from a Barn Owl at 10pm and 1am. It also shows a very large volume of activity at 7am from crows, and other Australian birds

It's been dealt with on our end, but as this community isn't hosted on blahaj.zone, I can't federate the removal. A community mod will still need to action it to federate the removal to other instances

ada , 1 month ago to Ask Lemmy in What song insinuates itself into all your playlists and why do you think it's there?

Got me. Random for me!

ada , 1 month ago to Ask Lemmy in What song insinuates itself into all your playlists and why do you think it's there?

"Around the World" by Daft Punk. The strangest thing is though, I don't use traditional playlists, but layered random smart play lists. I generate a list of 300 songs, by combining my 2, 3, 4 and 5 star playlists to give me a random selection of songs, but with my preferred ratio of 2:3:4:5 star rated music.

So the over representation of this song is just how statistics work and means nothing. If it wasn't that song, it would be some other song that has been played more than the others.

"Try this..." where "this" is intentionally vague until you click on the link is standard clickbait tactics...

ada , 1 month ago to KDE in KDE Plasma Constantly Stuttering, Try This!!

If I had to guess, it's because it's a click bait headline that offers nothing useful to people until they've committed to watching a video
