Might not be artificial, but it doesn’t look natural in sweetener form:

The process of extracting stevia -

Dried stevia leaves are subjected to purified water first. Then followed by a precipitation process with ferric chloride and calcium hydroxide to remove non-soluble plant materials & other impurities and follow filtration.

Then the leaf extract goes through an adsorption resin, which is used to trap the steviol glycosides of the leaf extract.

Afterward, wash the resin with ethanol to release steviol glycosides and decolorize the resulting solution with activated carbon to remove the colors in leaves, and then concentrated by evaporation.

Again, go through the process of decolorization, filtration and spray-drying. The spray-dried product is then combined with similarly processed additional extracts, dissolved in ethanol and/or methanol, crystallized and filtered. Finally, after further processes of crystallization, filtered and spray-dried to obtain pure stevioside.

Ah I misunderstood.

Maybe, I don’t know if it was on purpose. But the red lines are the red-fade-to-pink effect of the progress bar I believe, and I have not found a need for such a feature, so they might be using this feature as an excuse to claim the need of canvas.

Tidal doesn’t respect disabling explicit content, and it also dropped crossfading.

As buggy as it is sometimes, Deezer is where I’m at.

You aren’t supposed to find the element. Just copy the command into your filters and hit apply.

You can keep canvas blocked on YouTube. To stop the red lines, do this:

Click uBlock Origin icon (top right of the browser, small red shield).

Click the gears icon (“Open the dashboard”).

Click “My filters” tab. Make sure “Enable my custom filters” is checked.

Add the following string to the list of filters:

www.youtube.com##.ytp-gradient-bottom

Click “Apply changes”.

Reload your youtube video page.

If you knew what the sources were, you wouldn’t have needed to search in the first place. Just because it’s on a reputable website does not make it legit. You still have to reason.

The same can be said about the search results. For search results, you have to use your brain to determine what is correct and what is not. Now imagine for a moment if you were to use those same brain cells to determine if the AI needs a check.

AI is just another way to process the search results, that happens to give you the correct answer up front, most of the time. If you go blindly trust it, that’s on you.

In case you didn’t realize, this whole post and thread are just a joke. Try not to take yourself too serious.

But if you must know, I’m currently on Pixel 8, and most of what I posted describe actual well known problems with Android. You would know that if you used Android.

Android users won’t be able to reply.

Third party launchers randomly freeze for no reason.

Lemmy app crashed due to unknown reasons, but suspected due to battery manager failure.

Notification of your post never showed up anyway due to Android hosing notifications with Doze, which everyone thought Doze was done for, but really it was just buried deeper into the OS.

And then Google decided to A-B test all Lemmy users, so that the Lemmy app opens random songs in YouTube Music instead.

Most of reddit seems to be bots posts now, or reddit employees. They shot themselves in the chest when they did their greedy deeds.

Ooooh that. Yeah I get that with android auto.

I’ve recently turned off all apps (including google) permission to draw over other apps and that seems to have stopped it for me, on Pixel 8.

Article mentions 3rd party launcher gesture issues, but I’ve never seen this problem. I used to use Nova but switched to Smart launcher for the blur, but at no time have gestures been an issue. Any ideas what they mean?

And jump to the clone? Mozilla isn’t better (consider their recent Ad Privacy clone), they just have less market share.

That said, I use Firefox and Brave. Whatever I feel like at the time.

Brave has added a feature to explicitly enable MV2 apps and install uBo directly from Brave settings. You can also install uMatrix and Adguard MV2 versions also.

Um, if you’re security minded, you’re already staying far away from Authy, so I’m not really sure what the article’s focus is.

That said, I’m using 2fa all day long on Grapheneos. No issue. And prior to Grapheneos, I ran rooted and had been using Authy with no issue, so this kind of sounds like an advertisement piece for Authy.

I’m not really the one to ask as I don’t buy a smart phone for a camera. However, it looks good to me and I have a picky eye. And from what I’ve seen, you can use Google Camera on Grapheneos and get the same quality pictures and video.

Are you using Grapheneos or another ROM?

They made it where you could sandbox all of the Google stuff, and Android Auto works fine too.

That looks nice, but apps that use GSF for push won’t use that. Or am I missing something on their website?
