Experimenting with the Pixel 5 camera. Portrait mode does a decent job of imitating depth of field here.

Found the always-open-in-apps setting on Firefox for Android & thought, hey, that might be useful.
But now it wants to open links with tracking parameters in Nextcloud, which of course is saying, hey, I don’t know how to open that!
Dug into the phone settings & Nextcloud says it can handle “*” – presumably because you can point it to any Nextcloud server you want. I wonder if there’s a way to limit it to the ones you’ve actually configured?
Anyway, turned off the setting for now.
Hmm, I wonder if there’s an Android-compatible Firefox add-on that strips out tracking parameters…
Argh, forgot that Firefox had limited the Android version to a dozen “recommended” add-ons. I mean they include things like ublock origin & privacy badger (and apparently there’s a privacy possum add on as well!), There’s just not much selection.

Just realized that for the past hour I’ve been wearing the new glasses that I’ve been meaning to take back to get adjusted. They’re actually perfect for laptop & handheld reading.
It’s just that my desktop setup is the wrong distance for them. I guess I can either move the monitor or just keep using the old glasses there.

Anyone know what the dots in the upper right and lower middle of the Pixel 5 camera square are? The upper middle is the flash, and the two sides are the regular and wide-angle lenses. In guessing the upper right is the microphone for shooting video with the rear camera, and the lower middle is a light sensor, but they’re not identified on the reference page I found.

Distant (well, distant enough) wildfire smoke combining with the Belt of Venus effect just around sunset. The bike path was one of the few places I had a relatively clear view of the horizon.

Western Bluebirds
Three of I’m not sure how many bluebirds that seemed remarkably unconcerned about the dog park nearby.
Pelican above the bluffs
Walked down to the pier on a gloomy day while my car was in the shop. People were pretty good at spreading out and wearing masks (prob. because the city started fining people back in summer).
Among other shorebirds, I saw a group of a half dozen pelicans whirling around and diving for fish.

Marbled Godwit
There were two of these birds walking around near each other, jabbing their beaks into the wet sand. I’m not 100% certain all of these are the same one of the two, but I can’t tell them apart.
