I never thought I'd ever get scammed by an Amazon counterfeit product in my life 🤦♂️ I suppose with all the many 10's of thousands of items sold there every day (and all the junk) I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later. I just tested a couple of USB Flash drives that were being sold as 512G, but were in fact only internally 8G, you write past the 8G and try to read those bytes back and you get a whole pile of zero's back 🤣

@itsericwoodward Then by all means, follow the instructions at https://git.mills.io/prologic/parley and setup your own instance on your own domain. It's partly inspired by Twtxt/Yarn.social and Salty.im -- in at least the way teh DNS discovery and WKID works. Once your instance is up and running and you've gone through the /setup and created yourself an account (or seti it up with an appropraite ODIC IDP) try something like

/msg james@mills.io Hey! at which point you should automatically start peering with my instance. You should then be able to /join #lobby1 (a globally federated channel already across 2 instances so far). 🤞
And by design 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh, ohh! Thanks! :D
Both of these scenarios is mindboggling – imagine such a world:
Gastornis species were very large birds that were traditionally thought to have been predators of various smaller mammals, such as ancient, diminutive equids. However, several lines of evidence, including the lack of hooked claws (in known Gastornis footprints), studies of their beak structure and isotopic signatures of their bones, have caused scientists to now consider that these birds were probably herbivorous, feeding on tough plant material and seeds.
If they ever invent a time machine, I wanna go back to the Dinos. 🦕
