overview for bird

I signed up a few days ago. I never used GoodReads much. Last activity I had there was in 2013 and I kinda fell out of the habit of reading. But I picked up a book this week (and finished it in two days, haha), Recursion.

It let me import my GoodReads data and I've been slowly adding books to read to it. I think for me, the mental hurdle I had was the paralysis of choice. I decided to just pick a sci-fi book that was available for instant borrow on Libby and go from there. I currently started The Big Door Prize because I loved the first season of its TV adaptation. Happy to be reading again.

Nintendo Direct June 21st is sparking rumors of Nintendo Switch 2 by bird in c/gaming@beehaw.org

I can’t see how they could possibly market a “Switch 2” handheld successfully.

The average parent/consumer isn’t going to understand or care about slightly updated graphics or hardware. It’d have to be something fundamentally different.

Bird Populations Are in Meltdown by bird in c/news@beehaw.org

It's such a tragedy. It's so important we protect any land possible we can from development and further degradation. This week, I'm getting involved on the Board of a local Audubon chapter to help local programs focused on conservation and awareness of these types of issues. Anything we can do to help influence policy and make a change can have an impact.

Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators From Subreddits Continuing Apollo-Related Blackouts (www.macrumors.com)

As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit's plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces "open and accessible to users."

Edit, there seems to be conflicting reporting on this issue:

While the company does “respect the community’s right to protest” and pledges that it won’t force communities to reopen, Reddit also suggests there’s no need for that.

Google Tag Manager FOSS alternative? (beehaw.org)

Is anyone aware of FOSS alternatives to Google Tag Manager?

I have a really simple use case where I'm trying to find a solution that can trigger tags based on:

click class
click ID
click text

My tags simply fire javascript events to Plausible Analytics for tracking a few different web conversion scenarios.

In the past, I've tried Scale8 (it seems to have folded). I'm aware of Matomo's tag manager, but I already have an analytics solution, so I'm not really interested in deploying their analytics platform just for the tag manager plugin.

I recently came across RudderStack, but it doesn't seem to meet my simple needs. Or, if it does, its learning curve seems high.

While doing a Climate Watch bird survey this week for National Audubon Society (looking for the Lesser Goldfinch) I got surprised by this adorable Nine-banded Armadillo trotting across the road! Such a treat to see it wandering across a bridge.
