Oh cool a form of “ethnic cleansing” that has nothing to do with race actually.

Like saying water is made of H2O but it doesn’t have hydrogen. 🤷

To be clear, saying this can cause cancer is similar to saying that water will be classified as toxic.

Cancer is a genetic/cellular lottery we play every day. Consuming certain substances can change those odds. We’re talking 1 in a Trillion (a number I pulled out of my ass, to be clear), and perhaps consuming aspartame changes that to 100 in a Trillion. 100x more likely to get cancer? Not really.

Just like how water is classified as toxic if you drink too much (cellular over-hydration) consuming too much aspartame can cause cancer.

Though I suppose it remains to be seen. I’m making broad assumptions and I’ll wait for the professionals and studies and scientific journals to tell me what’s what.

Glad to be here! Thank you too.

This is the first 2D Mario in a long time that I've been excited for!

Something I want to make an example of with this comment:

The previous person states their frustration of the subreddit. What value does your comment bring to their situation? Does it help address the problem?

When I post about an issue online and someone says "no problem here," that doesn't help solve the problem.

Linux Mint for AMD, Pop_OS! for Nvidia. Former is workstation, latter is gaming.

It's still a depiction of CP. Changing the medium doesn't change the definition.

Engaging with this content is engaging with CP, fictional or not.

A mix of the ones who actually care not being active on Reddit, along with astroturfing from Reddit itself. Plus, there's always the counter-protest types that whine and scream about everything.

It's easy not to if you stick with the default apps that Apple provides! Or if having a limited, ad-filled experience is fine.

Pixelmator Pro is one of the few amazing one-time apps on MacOS. Also Xcode and VSCode are a killer (free!) combo.

The Apple offered pro productivity apps (Logic, Final Cut) are also excellent, but now the iPad versions are each a subscription. This is a shame, especially since owning the MacOS versions do not carry over.

If you use any app other than what Apple provides, you become a second class citizen on your own phone.

Third party apps simply don't integrate with iOS nicely unless Apple allows it. Even though you can choose a web browser, it has to use Safari's underlying code base.

I'm on a Pixel 7. A lot of people say it's like Google's iPhone, but I can use Firefox as my browser natively. Adblocking actually works, too. I can choose any app as a default for whatever. Lots of FOSS! Google doesn't own my Pixel the same way Apple owns the iPhone.

To me personally, 99% of the stuff announced (excluding Apple Vision Pro) was neat, but not exactly a big deal. Not every update needs to be, but I was hoping for a more substantial upgrade to Siri and a home screen change like allowing free icon placement.

On the topic of Apple Vision Pro, they nailed the whole idea of AR and defining the separation between virtual and reality. However, it seems like it's going to be restricted similarly to an iPad where it has this amazing hardware, but it isn't fully utilized. It still requires a Mac for stuff like Xcode, right?
