  • Chiming in from a USA user. Their webmail and suite run slow in the USA. Once it loads the page initially though, it uses localstorage.

    However, back when I used them less than a year ago, they had random periods where the websuite did not load.

    Finally, they have a really bad 2fa implementation that is not documented and I had to search Reddit to figure out how to log in.

    I also did not come here for politics.

    I came here as an alternative to reddit.

    What I did to fix it was to find similar Lemmy communities to those subreddits. I also set up filtering to block out key words, names, etc.

    It makes it a lot more bearable.

    One thing I’ve noticed, Lemmy and Reddit are run in a large part by content bots when it comes to non-politics. There are some exceptions. I recommend you make peace with the bots and appreciate the content (all the while contributing content yourself of course).











  • 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.

  • 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.
