  1. Hey Buc-ee's Mini Mart...

    We got beavers too. They featured in one of our best commedia dell'arte farces ever performed at Pennsic, back in 2023. You don't have a monopoly on these small furry critters.

    We stand with Beavercreek in our home state of Ohio and all small businesses just trying to get by.

  2. It was great to meet this beaver as I was winding down the last of my two weeks off by my local creek 🦫 😊

    So... more something like ChromeOS or FirefoxOS? Can it still reasonably be used as a desktop browser...? Or does it's goals preclude that original usecase?

    I would desperately love to find something, even very pre-alpha that could be used as a Servo based browser. Kumo is the best I've found so far, which isn't setting the bar very high.

  6. Hey @webbeef ,
    I've long been campaigning for a Servo based browser (social.tchncs.de/@Blort/115762 ). I recently came across WebBeef.org.

    Sounds interesting, but...

    It's totally not clear what it actually *is*, or even what it's actually called. Is it Beaver? Is it WebBeef?

    The only description I found was "a platform that provides permissionless user agency. [...] building a Web based user agent that can play new tricks."
    What does that mean?

    Is this a browser? Is it something like an AI agent? Is this something like an embedded web view (different from Servo, how?) ? Something else entirely? (What?)

    Thanks,
    A tireless Servo booster and lover of the open web

  10. The watery environments of the #beaver can also provide life-saving fire-proof sanctuaries for myriad plants, #animals – and even people. With #wildfires increasing in frequency and intensity as a result of #climatechange, the value of beaver country cannot be underestimated. As a wise man once said: “water doesn’t burn!”

    Beavers are also helpful in restoring groundwater, wetlands, and fish populations. So much so that California has an official beaver restoration program .#beaver

    Needs a caption.

    “For seven years, planners struggled to complete a $1.2 million wetland restoration project in the Brdy region of the Czech Republic. The goal was to build a dam that would improve water management and bring back valuable wetland habitat, but the project remained trapped in a maze of permits and approvals.
    Then a family of eight Eurasian beavers did what engineers had planned… without permits, machinery, or a budget.
    The beavers built a network of dams in almost the exact area chosen for the proposed project, naturally restoring the wetland system officials had spent years trying to create. After seeing the results, authorities decided there was little point continuing with the original human-built dam.
    Although some reports suggested the beavers completed the work overnight, experts say their construction likely took several weeks. The reason it seemed sudden is that the animals quietly worked away until their finished dams became impossible to miss.
    Beavers are known as “ecosystem engineers” because their behaviour can reshape entire environments. By cutting trees and blocking streams, they create ponds and wetlands that support countless species, including fish, amphibians, insects, birds, and mammals.
    Their wetlands also act as natural water reservoirs, helping during droughts, reducing flood risks, filtering water, storing carbon, and keeping landscapes wetter during wildfires…
    Once heavily hunted across Europe, beaver populations have been recovering thanks to conservation efforts, proving that sometimes nature can solve problems humans spend years trying to fix…"
