  • Ya it could be a Grackle. Does it move the injured wing in any way normally? If it can’t move the wing at all normally it may not heal well without medical intervention. Unfortunately their wings are very delicate. It sounds like you’ve done all you can in terms of phoning vets and rehabs, so I can’t really help much there, but just keep up what you are doing and keep checking with the rehabs that take small birds. Either the wing heals on it’s own or not, but either way it feels like you are doing all the right things. I hope it works out!





  • Ya… I’m with you 100%. It really feels like commercial software is the “minimum viable product” rather than a complete and quality piece of software. I’ve opted for FOSS solutions wherever possible for me and it has worked out swimmingly. Only place I’m still struggling is my home PC. Making the jump to Linux and potentially risking game compatibility is still a bit of a hurdle for me, but once my Win10 license loses support, Linux will be a very strong contender for my main OS.





  • Android auto definitely doesn’t work (I tried Calyx briefly earlier this year).

    What also doesn’t work without a lot of finicky tricks is Google Calendar. I myself haven’t quite gotten rid of Gmail and my calendar in Gmail yet, and that was a big headache I was not willing to live without just yet.

    Outside of those two things it served my needs but I did not try any of the Microsoft products so I can’t speak to those.
