  • I agree, they’re not good humans and I’d love to get some more eyes on aspartame in light of this study. I did the math (and posted a comment on this post) and found out that the dose is equivalent to a 2L coke zero bottle so the dosage is applicable to how much humans get.

    It’s a classic more study needed and until we get a proper study without conflict of interest assessing human cognitive performance with a memory test after 8 months of drinking a 2L bottle of coke zero 3 times per week I’d recommend reducing the amount of aspartame drinks to at 0.5L or less 3 times a week.

    It’s not conclusive that it’s going to negatively affect humans and sugary alternatives are very likely still less healthy both cognitively and physically than the zero drinks.




  • I think the default styling of browsers is pretty neat in a lot of cases and I hate animations. Layouts, spacing and grouping are the things that actually provide value.

    Instead of a fancy popup with a cart contents the button should just say “Adding 1 item…” and “Added” for 2 seconds.

    I hate infinite scrolls, especially when there’s stuff like opening hours at the bottom of the page. Just give me a “Show more” button and preload the content.

    My dream world would be that styling would only be about layout and the rest is up to the user’s theme.




  • Systemd is controlled by redhat and is a very large part of the Linux stack. It’s become so universal that a lot random stuff won’t work unless the system has systemd.

    Compared to X11 to wayland or pulseaudio to pipewire it’s a lot hard to now replace an init system and with that in the hands of redhat which is for profit is not a nice thought.

    But you know, fuck it, having systemd is a massive headache for people making distros that’s just gone. Everyone is using the same thing and things just work so people aren’t really complaining. If redhat tries some shenanigans there’ll always be a fork or a systemd compatible init system or even whatever Alpine is using now that’ll take it’s place.
