"People get the idea somehow that they can actually improve upon nature. So they try this and that, thinking that they can make humyn life better. But because of the limited understanding that people have they can only get in the way - mess things up somehow - and a side-effect, an unintended consequence, occurs. [..] Today, all we're doing - just about - is mitigating the unintended consequences of things that we've done in the past."

So Chrome's way to compete with Firefox's tracking protection Is to make the settings look the same but Instead of actually blocking trackers you just send more data to Google. Read the small print. You can't tell me that Google didn't try to trick people with this settings page.

offtopic, "planting" vs "growing" trees
Birdsite link but very interesting.
In summary: we should think in terms of ecosystem restoration not tree planting for carbon sequestration. Be wary of schemes for tree planting that don't plan / budget for maintenance of those new ecosystems. Also #agroforestry and avoiding colonialism implications.

There's nothing quite like a review of a bad book:
Made aware of this song by Johnny cash - Battlad of Ira Hayes.
Wasn't aware he was a first nations rights activist.
it all adds to something I keep stumbling across.
Gaels are oppressed and yet are the oppressor, most confusingly it can be simultaneously.
Whether it's in the 18th century or more recently, it doesn't seem to change much.
TIL
First Nations people in 🇨🇦 had a civil rights movement.
The Scots and Irish, in Canada, were at logger-heads with first-nation people. Often commiting acts on first-nation people that were worse than that put upon the Gaels.
This was as recent as the 1970s.
Very interesting, going to try and find more info on this.

This is one of the first photographs I took of the same Scots Pine, in 2009. Note the lack of other trees in the surroundings.
on the upside I have a chair that fits my new (to me) desk! Some comfort is en route

A testing build for arm64 can be found here: https://cloud.bubu1.eu/s/btFt2a8XRn38YnE
Please test and report feedback to the forum thread.
The app shares the appid with the official F-Droid Fennec build but is signed with a different key, so it won't install as an update to any existing version and neither will the future official build install over this version.
Travelled to Ikea in Edinburgh today.
1/10 would NOT recommend. Really poor shopping experience, even for the rona.
The hire-car's radio died too...hours of silence on the way back 🙃

bird body horror-ish, the only thing I ever tag iconography about
@iconography Found this, apparently it's from a science textbook somewhere
Like this isn't nefarious AF.

Remove their licences. Every single grouse moor needs licences revoked.
Punish them all.

Thousands of Maasai men clad in red and purple shawls and with their heads coated in red ochre gathered in Kenya this week for a ceremony that transforms them from warriors to elders.
