Like the icon. Like the name. Like the concept.

Not something I would pay to use, but I'm sure this would be useful to others.

Wish you luck.

Appreciated - thank you.

I've been looking for the opposite - wanting to dump text and it be read to me, coherently. Anyone have good recommendations?

Domestication ≠ habitat classification. Alpine refers to habitat. Kea live, feed, and breed in alpine environments and are behaviourally adapted to it. By your logic, because my ancestors ~300 years ago aren’t from New Zealand, I’m not a New Zealander.

Kiwi here. They live in alpine regions, they have adapted to alpine life - how are they not alpine parrots? Go back far enough and you could make this argument about anything.

If you'd like to read a long-form version of this, take a look at Jennifer Ackerman's "The Bird Way" from 2020. Really loved this book.

Also, just my opinion, but Kea's are the best bird there is.

Free now isn't free forever. If something has inherent value then folks will be willing to pay for it.

If you dismiss and respond something like "proceed" it resumes. Takes a fair while to actually run out of usage.

There would be so much subjectivity to this. I like the idea but executing in a reliable, repeatable way would be very challenging imo.

I'm in the same boat as you, even with a botched migration about 12-14 years ago and am really passionate about this stance. I've lately been getting further enjoyment from thrifting CDs and ripping FLAC upgraded tracks to my library, overwriting old 128kb/s fuzz. Actually have been at this for about 3 years now and around 1200 ripped. I try now to only listen to those albums + bandcamp, etc purchases where possible.

FYI the ticketing time is showing incorrectly out of Pacific time, e.g. here in Eastern all recent activity shows as 3 hours ago. Not a big deal as almost all users would be in Pacific, but wanted to mention.

Great work though, this is rad.
