Not that simple. When carbon in the soil rises beyond a certain percentage (a tree falls) it'll convert back to CO2 because of the bugs eating it. But if the percentage starts at zero (in a desert) and an ecosystem settles there, the percentage will rise and stay above zero for as long as the ecosystem survives. Basically the plants generate matter as fast as wildlife eats it.

This sequestration can be long term if things go well or it can be short term if plants die in large numbers (because of climate change, diseases...).

Trees excel at harvesting water. When you water a tree, there is evaporative cooling like an artificial cooler but during the night, the dew falls back on the leaves and the ground where some of it finds its way back to the trees (possibly via an invertebrate first). Also the reflectiveness of leaves helps. Then there's the soil where layers of dead leaves, wood and others accumulate, sequester CO2 and create a sponge. Finally, by virtue of making the region cooler, rain is more likely to fall. Humans can probably engineer something better but the bar is high.

You're not describing how a tiling WM fails to satisfy your needs. My guess is you're unhappy with toolbars being repeated in each tile, is that it? If so, I believe Suckless's striped-down browser is the closest, together with a tiling WM.

If code editors are indicative, yes some power users tend to like a tiling window manager bundled in the app. So you may be right but I think it's out of scope for Firefox which targets the masses and it's definitely off-topic here.

I'm not sure how what you describe is not what a tiling WM offers. Except for the "closing main window" thing but can't you just cancel closing with the history menu?

I'm very curious as well because my very limited understanding tells me the answer is nothing. The relay hides your identity. Your phone checks the attestations so it won't send your data to servers not running the published software which ensures encryption keys are ephemeral. Once your session is done, the keys are deleted.

Law enforcement would need to seize the right server among millions while it's processing your request and perform an attack on it to get the keys before they're gone.

My next question is what happens if/when the attestation keys are stolen.

The goal is money and control. They enact a partial "solution" so later on they'll say they need more access to private data because of the loopholes. Meanwhile the industry of surveillance and compliance grows providing more paper pushing jobs to the establishment. Power-tripping politicians also get the ability to spy on opponents and basically anyone they please.

Regarding (b): I think an employee working day to day gets a much better picture than investors. It requires time on the job, but my point is that it's not as one-sided as you make seem.
