Feeling upset about poor forest management
This entry is for August 3rd, 2021.
At Eaton Rapids Campmeeting, there was a decision made to sell some of our trees to a logging company. However, the people that did it made a really big mess, left a lot of half-trees laying around, and didn't even thin out any of the dense pine forest (planted in the mid-1990s) that really needed thinning out.
I'm upset about it. I don't know a lot about forestry, but my grandpa does and we decided to go out and take a look at how things ended up.
In many places, the main part of the trunk was removed, leaving the top part of the tree laying around. It's unclear if there's going to be any effort to clean all that up or if it's just going to be left laying around. Many of the old shade trees in one of the camping areas have also been removed, leaving massive stumps all over the place. It was upsetting.
iFrame Native Dialogs
There was a bit of a victory recently -- a two-week moratorium on the changes. Not nearly long enough for redevelopment of much anything, but at least it's something.
I've continued to argue for the delay of removal/opt-in of cross-domain iframe dialogs.

Some interesting ongoing discussion can be found here:

Due to mass breakage across various industries (hospitals, government, salesforce, with CodePen apparently being the final straw), a two-week moratorium has been issued by the Chromium devteam which reverts this behavior. Microsoft Edge team has already pushed a patch (Edge version 92.0.902.62) to revert the alert changes from upstream Chromium just prior to this. Arguments are being made to raise the moratorium higher due to the large amount of work necessary for the vendor/developer relations to fix things.See also the 8 blocking/blockers tied to that thread.
Chris Coyier, one of CodePen's co-founders has come to the same conclusion as I did, and has used the cruise control for cool to express it:https://twitter.com/chriscoyier/status/1422594220586672135
WHAT WE REALLY NEED HERE IS A SANDBOX ATTRIBUTE TO ALLOW THEM TO WORK. (cross-origin).

Lots of gems in that thread as well.
I also made additional comments in this thread:

Hopefully it'll have some impact.
