#OnThisDay, 26 Mar 1974, Gaura Devi and 27 village women prevent the logging of trees in the village of Reni in the Himalayas. They confront armed men from the lumber company and hug the trees to stop them being felled.
Part of the Chipko movement, which was protesting deforestation, the women’s actions led to a protection order and fed into a wider desire to protect the Himalayan region.

strange thought:
If I got 1$ per month for every package I maintain for Fedora Linux, that would basically be enough money to live on ...
Popular packages I'm responsible for include:
- the new Sequoia based GPG backend for RPM (present on *every single Fedora 38 install*)
- CLI tools like ripgrep, exa, lsd, bat
- Rust bindings for GLib, GTK3, GTK4, GStreamer, etc. (which are used to build librsvg2, gnome-tour, helvum, etc.)
so ... who wants to adopt some packages? 😁

Which countries, historically, pumped the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading us to climate breakdown?
Shouldn't these countries pay the most to repair the damage and help everyone shift to to a carbon-free future?

Mastodon is approaching Ten Million accounts. 10, 000,000!!! Many of these new accounts will not have any idea what Mastodon and the Fediverse is about. Please share with any #newbie #new people you come across, the answers they are seeking about Mastodon, the Fediverse and Everything (almost) all in one place:
I have to remember that, because #Mastodon doesn't have #algorithm curated feeds, I have to #boost / reblog interesting people more often. Liking their posts doesn't make them more visible.
Also, if you want to find new people, I use the #Welcome hashtag whenever I say hi to a new person who posted an #Introduction. I try to greet interesting people pretty frequently.
Love y'all! Keep being kind! 💜
