The biggest worry is that Chrome brings about change of websites which then requires other browsers to take on their trusted platform stuff in order to work.

If you worry the humans have horrible diseases and short lifespans, just remember, humans are just meat that we tricked into thinking.

Runs like ass.

When you’ve been camping with your parents for 8 days and you finally get back to your own room.

Yes Wilfred Owen. Now make it poetic.

Agreed, birding is about lenses and autofocus. Any camera body made in the last ten years will have enough image quality for this.

Second the advice of an older APS-C model with a 70-200 as a starter kit. There are also some good lenses like the 150-500mm or 150-600 Sigma that would be good for OP and less than $1000 new.

There is no sweet spot, either get the best used kit you can find (lots of people buy stuff for a hobby or gift and barely use it), or go and get the nicest new kit you can afford to buy. The lenses for birding increase in value exponentially as you go up the range, a starter lens might be $300, a good amateur lens $1000, a pro lens $2500 and a top of the line National Geographic type lens $7000-20000

What is your budget and would you accept second hand cameras?

Personally I would start with a second hand APS-C camera. APS-C crop cameras will give you an extension on your focal length, and when birding you want long lenses.

Any camera from the last 10 years from Nikon, Canon or Sony will be fine, I would go Nikon or Sony myself but it’s your choice. Sony for the quality of the camera, Nikon for the lens range. Canon is fine but the build quality on their bottom end cameras is weak.

New: Nikon Z50 or Sony A6700

Used: Nikon: 3200, 3300, 3400, 3500, 5300, D5500, D5600, D7100, D7200, D7500, D500
Sony: NEX-7, a6000, a6100, a6300, a6400, a6500, a6600

You can find some of the used models new, a feature you might like is in body image stabilisation, but image quality wise they’re all close enough that image quality will be more lens dependant than body dependant. Newer/Higher end models have better AF.

then you want a lens, 200mm 2.8 is nice, 300mm is nicer, some sort of stabilisation is useful for you too.

If you like mirrorless sony is good, if you prefer a DSLR used Nikon is good.

Files moved to PC after a shoot, weekly sync to NAS, monthly backup from NAS to two portable hard drives that are rotated.

Lightroom not supporting network drives is a nightmare, could do with a way to automatically sync the catalogues back and forth but not aware of a good one.

Running lightroom cache from an SSD and images stored on a HDD, might move to all SSD in the near future.

It will take time to over come that, posting news and articles is very welcome

Update: Elon Musk to sue Cities Skylines unless they change Chirper to “Y Bird” and give him a cameo.

the lemmy.ml instance is run by the devs though and lemmygrad is closely connected to it

Any proof of that?

Considering the cost to host servers and develop both the backend and the Jerboa app, I dont think $10 a year on a .org would have ended the project?

Many people said it was because “Marxist Leninist”
