It's ridiculous that only a few hundred people protest and work to protect old growth forest with information like this at hand. If you've ever been in an old growth stand you're almost guaranteed to see whole sections of thousand year old trees with burn scars on their trunks from several hundred years ago, several dozen years ago, etc. They were so stout they didn't burn when the understory did.

You can't replace that as a "carbon storage" strategy or for any other reason unless everyone agrees to leave a given piece of land be for a thousand years or more. Given the way things are right now it seems like that'll never fuckin happen again. Ever.

What's it going to take?

Yeah but has anyone made albino midget dumpster porn yet? Huh?

It was the fucking CIRG. Which is why the judge doesn't want to open the case further and incriminate Canada's counter-insurgency militarized police douchebags even further.

See Project Oilsand/Project Cauldron where huge brains wanted to nuke the oil sands deposits thus turning the sand into a big glass crater with all the oil floating nicely inside ready for exploitation.

Holy shit. With rail workers and pilots on strike all we'd need to kick off a general strike are truckers and warehouse workers.

I read somewhere awhile back their platinum donors gave a certain tier (10k or 100k or whatever it was). To be clear I'm more than open to being surprised here, I want Ladybird to succeed. I just resent Shopify being involved in any way, I'm a little bit petty after slogging it out at that company awhile because I know what they're all about.

Starts about midway down their page at ladybird.org

You may have misunderstood. It was Shopify who did the big NFT play on their platform. I don't know much about the Ladybird team, I'm not trying to throw shade on them.

I mean I hope Ladybird devs do a great build and go their own way without being corrupted by their donors and all that, don't get me wrong. But whenever I see that dumb shopping bag logo I get the no feelings.

You can also read up on how the vast majority of Mozilla's funding has been coming from Google for a very long time, and draw your own conclusions from that fact.
