One of the world’s longest commercial trials of a seaweed supplement that the global meat industry hopes could slash methane from beef cattle has recorded much lower reductions in the potent greenhouse gas than previous studies.
Having used iOS my entire life, the switch to GrapheneOS will be a big change. I have learned over the past year about Android, GrapheneOS, and apps to use. I managed to find most of the apps I was looking for, but there are some I struggled with. I had trouble finding privacy respecting, open source apps for the following...
The Windows version used to be shit. That’s no longer a problem. That’s about the only negative I remember. Otherwise you can have it doing a lot of work between devices or only sending when you feel like it. I force stop it on my phone and then invoke through share when needed.
I brought up Syncthing as it will function the same way, in a more hands off way (by choice if you want, automagically or forced) if you needed to share files/folders between devices. Not only for passwords.
Recently I installed Fedora 40, I have a Intel Nuc with a 75Hz monitor but I tried different ways to set the refresh rate from 60 to 75 but I couldn’t....

And then to make it even more complex, the more diverse number of soil species that dwarfs the above ground species that are more fragile to hooves, fire, and UV that have been completely lost (not even studied before they were lost).
Humans could have kept track of a percentage of above ground species for introduction but the technology was barely there to even imagine what was lost in erosion and fire. And that likely underpins everything above ground.

Still happening to this day but thanks to modern machinery only a few now fight it. The rest of us can ignore the battle to our detriment.
We had local farmer spray out 7km of riparian zone in 2 weeks for the cows. I’ve busted my butt for 2 years to plant up 3000 plants in 2400m2 (60m long) upstream from there. Nothing is fair.
What makes you smarter than people studying these problems? A single example of a plant introduced in 1963?
You can’t just declare your opinion to be right. And you can’t ignore climate change to suit your argument. Nor can you deny that urban areas are very diverse in exotic tree species and that won’t change because you want it to. A single comment isn’t putting the genie back in the bottle, nor stopping climate change, or land degradation/clearing, or new pests and diseases.

Cattle are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Hawaiian seaweed could change that. (grist.org)
Asbestos as "recovered fines" can also be sold in soil mixes. Why not give "structural soil" a go? It's just rocks, biochar, compost, and some minerals. No recovered wood pieces. (aussie.zone)
