aio2··on Aspartame sweetener to be declared possible cancer risk by WHO, say reports
Yes, "We've" figured out the dangers of PFAS just now, but when companies started producing them back over 50 years ago, company 3M knew it (to say the least) wasn't good.

I'm pretty sure the scientists who dealt with these chemicals even warned against using it, but some higher ups still let it pass

Not related, forgive me please, but if you give me the bully's location, I can do some of my own justice to them. (unfortunately sarcastic)

aio2··on Plastics are poisoning us
I think the issue isn't us doing these things, but if we did, it'd have no impact.

I would look into the mass production of these plastics and try to change some things there.

aio2··on Mullvad Leta: A search engine used in the Mullvad Browser
My apologies if I missed your point, but don't other free search tools do that?

Or maybe it is because I haven't used high-quality search, and I am blinded by it's true greatness.

aio2··on Mullvad Leta: A search engine used in the Mullvad Browser
May I ask why specifically Kagi? What's special about it compared to other search engines, aside from being privacy friendly? Like, you could say Searx is also nice because of that. Or Duckduckgo. Or Brave Search.

What sets Kagi apart, and especially, what makes it different?

aio2··on SpaceX hires boy, 14, who became youngest graduate at California university
A few things to say:

First, that's actually pretty cool. Second, that's just not what a 14 year old should be doing.

Third, fucking VSCode? You gotta be kidding me.

aio2··on Wow, is Apple’s Vision Pro loaded with pixels
Just wanna say the first thought I had when I read this is that these tiny pixels will soon end up in our body just like forever chemicals when these devices get thrown away.

They're claimed to be the size of blood cells.

It is open source, my hope is someone will fork the project and continue on it's own.
aio2··on 10 years after Snowden's first leak, what have we learned?
I want to explain this from my perspective so you can maybe see why this is happening:

I remember all the talk about quiet quitting and working home and all that, but because media has slowly shifted away from that, I seemed to think about it less. In fact, I completely forgot about quiet quitting until you just mentioned it, when I realized they have slowly blocked it out.

Imagine that. It took me a while to realize that. And I still needed something to remind me of it. A lot of people aren't constantly reminded about it, which means they'll think more about whatever is currently in the media and keep falling for their trap.

aio2··on High prices make textbook ‘piracy’ acceptable to most students
