Looks like it’s this one: https://makertube.net/c/veronicaexplains/videos

I used SepiaSearch to find her videos: https://sepiasearch.org/

(Which did actually lead me to her old tinkerbetter.tube instance at first, but there it has a deprecation notice saying that she’s now on makertube.net.)

I think, something to be aware of is that it’s not just shade. It’s not just cooler below the tree. Trees also store and evaporate water, which cools the whole area. This summarizes the cooling effect quite well:

Tree implementation reduces peak monthly temperatures to below 26 °C in 83% of the cities. Trees can lower pedestrian-level temperatures by up to 12 °C through large radiation blockage and transpiration.

And well, ultimately if we accept that climate change is a thing, planting trees now is the cheapest investment we can make to combat the heatwaves in 10+ years from now.
It will reduce heat deaths. It will reduce AC costs of everyone living there. And it will mean that the city doesn’t lose out on taxes from people choosing to stay inside during a heat wave.

Trees are quite effective at slowing down winds, so planting more trees than before is exactly the right response. 👍

I use “Air Hockey Saloon” by Chris Zabriskie. Certainly more on the gentle side.

I mean, there’s still some download managers around, for example:

• https://f-droid.org/packages/com.gianlu.aria2app
• https://f-droid.org/packages/com.tachibana.downloader

But yeah, I imagine this functionality is now largely integrated into the apps that want to trigger the download. The advanced downloading functionality can just be a library and then the respective apps just need to strap a UI on top.

The only real advantage of a dedicated app, is that the other app’s APK size can be smaller, which isn’t too big of a deal anymore.
