Any recommendations for an alternative to the Windows clock app?


I don't want to have to log into my alarm clock anymore.
"Ditch Windows" is a fair answer. I'm working on it.

Yes! I started doing this a few months ago and I'm glad I was able to familiarize myself with it before spring hit!
During installation, I'd recommend using the curl command provided by this fork: https://github.com/Nachtzuster/BirdNET-Pi That's what worked best for me anyway.
The avocet was my spark bird! So elegant!

Ah, so maybe the "rigging" was just incompetence all along

“My culture my nationality is everything to me. To be able to represent the Philippines – there’s not too many Filipino athletes doing it at this stage, especially in the NFL"

Special teams coordinator Dave Toub commented on his kick returner on Friday.

Nothing has come easily for Kansas City Chiefs kick returner Nikko Remigio. He spent all of last season on the practice squad and didn’t even have a space in the locker room; his locker was in the equipment room last season.
...
Speaking to reporters on Friday afternoon, Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub said that beyond his work ethic, part of the reason Remigio has seen so much early success on punt returns is that he is still improving as a return man every week.
“During the regular season, he got better and better and better,” Toub remarked. “And now, in the playoffs, he’s really hitting his stride, and his confidence is high. And that’s what you want in a punt and kick returner is confidence.”
Along with his confidence, Toub said that he was impressed by Remigio’s tenacity.
Tenacity is a trademark of Filipino culture. When times get tough, you don’t just dwell on it, you keep fighting (or, “laban lang,” as they say in Tagalog, which translates to just fight).

Love this! Thanks for posting!
This uses the same detection model as the whoBIRD android app. I've used it in a side by side test with Merlin and they do not give consistent results. They're in the same ball park, but really every detection (for both apps) should be verified with human ears. And I'm not sure that's possible with a 24/7 setup.
IT'S STILL AWESOME AND FUN! I hope the talented people that made this continue to develop it. I'm glad this was posted, but like OP said, not super practical.

I sure do hope Dr. Zubrin lives to see the day humans set foot on Mars.
It did seem odd, we nearly stepped on them. But after looking into it more, it's apparently pretty common: https://old.reddit.com/r/Ornithology/comments/npzykp/killdeer_eggs_i_was_walking_along_a_gravel_path/h09ps9t/
Yeah, I think you're right 👍 Thanks!

Sorry for the potato quality photo. I would guess northern bobwhite quail, but they look darker than quail egg photos I'm seeing online.

Yeah, this doesn't include community posts. I haven't tried finding one tho
All youtube channels have their own feeds, but they're not obvious to find. The first part of the URL looks like this:
undefined
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=
Go to the channel's home page and search the page source for "channel_id=" (with a long string of numbers and letters after it, often starting with a "U") then paste the ID after the equal sign. The channel id looks something like this: UCtwKon9qMt5YLVgQt1tvJKg

Last year the EFF published this "legal primer" for people hosting Fediverse instances

A growing number of people are experimenting with federated alternatives to social media like Mastodon, either by joining an “instance” hosted by someone else or creating their own instance by running the free, open-source software on a server they control. (See more about this movement and joining....
