The dose makes the poison. It is carcinogenic but current estimates are that you’d need to drink several litres a day to meaningfully increase your risk.
There are other good reasons to find a healthier drink but this isn’t one of them. Most artificial sweeteners have some kind of risk attached so there is no point switching to a different diet soda.
Google killed XMPP by being the vast majority of the network and then defederating from the rest. Most of the gmail users didn’t even notice anything had happened.
I see a couple of differences here. One is that it should be obvious to even the most casual of users that other instances exist. And the second is that other mega-corps have said they’ll build instances too. With multiple very large instances, they may end up holding each other hostage, for fear of losing users to each other when so many people have multiple logins just because they have an account with one of the mega-corps.
One thing is for sure. Insta has 1.6bn users and it doesn’t need to federate with anyone at all; the fediverse is a rounding error to them. Some people will want the massiveness of the network, others will want better moderation than the mega-corps are likely to offer, and some will prefer smaller networks anyway. There will be as many reactions as there are instances to react. And that will have to be fine.
The tragedy occurred Thursday when the child fell into the water and the mother jumped in after him, Swedish Maritime Administration spokesperson Jonas Franzen said. He said the child fell from a height of about 20 meters.
You wouldn’t stop to think about it. But how is it even possible for a 7 year old to fall overboard in the first place? Ferries are full of kids running around, something must have been very wrong for this to happen at all?
It’s a bit more than that. Cancer is caused by copying errors. Just the right errors, in just the right order. The longer you live, the more chances these copying errors get to happen in just the right order. If nothing else kills you, cancer will.
So, wealthy countries have a lot of cancer because they have a lot of people living longer. And the media loves to run stories on how terrifying this is.
Is it possible to block the display of comments/posts of a federated domain such as lemmi.world? Too much leftist nonsense is contaminating what could be a usable platform. If I wanted to read thoughtless leftist drivel I'd be on Reddit.
Is Coke Zero also carcinogenic?
Just heard the news about Diet Coke. I drink about two cans a day and I feel devastated. Is it safe to switch to Coke Zero?
If Meta federates with the Fediverse, do my Mastodon posts (e.g.) show up on FaceBook?
I do not want my posts from anywhere on the Fediverse on FaceBook....
