@eblu I've been on kbin.social (the main kbin instance) for a while and it's been working well. I prefer the kbin UI over lemmy and I think that's really the only reason to pick one over the other at this point.
🤔 Did you know there’s a W3C Social Web Community Group? @haubles interviewed their latest member in this sit-down with #ActivityPub enthusiast @casey.
You might find packets of stevia on restaurant tables and store shelves. Stevia can also be found in many other products you eat. If you’re eating products marketed as low calorie, check the ingredients list to see what type of sweetener was used.
Currently, there’s no evidence linking stevia to cancer when used in normal amounts. Some research suggests it may even have some health benefits. A number of studies stress the need for more research into the potential benefits and risks of stevia. #Stevia#kombucha#ikombucha_ro#ikombucha https://foodinsight.org/everything-you-need-to-know-about-stevia-sweeteners/
Stevia may interact with drugs intended to treat hypertension and diabetes.
In animal studies, stevia didn’t affect fertility or pregnancy outcomes, but research on humans is lacking. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, stevia glycoside products may be consumed in moderation. Steer clear of whole-leaf stevia and crude stevia extracts while pregnant or nursing. #Stevia#kombucha#ikombucha_ro#ikombucha https://www.medicinenet.com/stevia/article.htm
Stevia made with Reb-A is safe to use in moderation during pregnancy. If you’re sensitive to sugar alcohols, choose a brand that doesn’t contain erythritol.
Whole-leaf stevia and crude stevia extract, including stevia you’ve grown at home, are not safe to use if you’re pregnant.
It may seem strange that a highly refined product is considered safer than a natural one. This is a common mystery with herbal products. #Stevia#kombucha#ikombucha_ro#ikombucha https://www.britannica.com/plant/stevia-plant
Stevia, a zero-calorie sugar substitute, is recognized as safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In vitro and in vivo studies showed that stevia has antiglycemic action and antioxidant effects in adipose tissue and the vascular wall, reduces blood pressure levels and hepatic steatosis, stabilizes the atherosclerotic plaque, and ameliorates liver and kidney damage. The metabolism of steviol glycosides is dependent upon gut microbiota, which breaks down glycosides into steviol that can be absorbed by the host. In this review, we elucidated the effects of stevia's consumption on the host's gut microbiota. #Stevia#kombucha#ikombucha_ro#ikombucha https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35456796/
A 2019 study reported a possible link between nonnutritive sweeteners, including stevia, and disruption in beneficial intestinal flora. The same study also suggested nonnutritive sweeteners may induce glucose intolerance and metabolic disorders.
As with most nonnutritive sweeteners, a major downside is the taste. Stevia has a mild, licorice-like taste that’s slightly bitter. Some people enjoy it, but it’s a turn-off for others.
In some people, stevia products made with sugar alcohols may cause digestive problems, such as bloating and diarrhea. #Stevia#kombucha#ikombucha_ro#ikombucha https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/what-is-stevia
Auch die Außenwände? Die haben nämlich normalerweise 'ne nicht-massive Dämmschicht. Oder, wenn das Gebäude als genug ist, 'nen Hohlraum, der im begrenzten Maße das selbe leisten soll.

I have IBS and sugar makes it act up. I use stevia extract as a substitute in products, and I AM constantly working on improving my gut biome health. This was a dense but good read.
Stevia is considered a "natural non-caloric sweetener." Saccharin and sucralose are considered "non-nutritive sweeteners" (few or no calories). Aspartame is a "nutritive sweetener" (adds some calories but far less than sugar).
Aspartame comes with a warning to be used cautiously (or not at all) by people with a rare genetic disease (called phenylketonuria, or PKU) because they have trouble metabolizing it; that's not true for the other sweeteners. And all four vary on their level of sweetness and aftertaste, which is likely why people often prefer one over another. #Stevia#kombucha#ikombucha_ro#ikombucha https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/sweeteners-time-to-rethink-your-choices-2019022215967
After reporting on the CSAM attacks at #Lemmy a few weeks, new tools are being developed to help admins deal with this. One example is scanning images with generative AI, that can run locally on an admin's GPU, without uploading images anywhere.
#TurboTax Parent Company's Latest Argument Against Free Tax Filing: It Will Harm #Black Taxpayers
Articles published around the country repeat Intuit’s assertion — sometimes almost word for word — that the upcoming #IRS pilot program would hurt Black Americans.
A researcher whose work is cited by #Intuit says the company is misstating her findings.
As @cstross says, what passes for tech journalism nowadays is basically stenography, copying the press releases of companies and passing them as articles.
#ActivityPub is the default social networking protocol because we took the time to standardise it at the W3C.
You don't have to be part of the W3C to build on top of ActivityPub. You can make extensions and new applications without ever dealing with a formalised standards organisation.
But the benefit of having the W3C behind us is crystal clear. There have been dozens of distributed social networks, and none has gotten as much traction as AP and AS2.
It looks like "youtube" is covered already, but any #scuttlebutt about that is appreciated. The knowledge about what's best or hot at any time is also federated 😕
Überwachung: Interpol baut Big-Data-System Insight für "vorhersagende Analysen"
Interpol entwickelt eine Plattform, um riesige Datenmengen aus mehreren Quellen wie Social Media in unterschiedlichen Formaten effizient verarbeiten zu können.
Systeme, um nur die "riesigen Datenmengen", die frei verfügbar sind, durchzusehen und zu bewerten, müssen erst noch entwickelt werden.
Aber dann uns versuchen einzureden, dass die anlasslose Überwachung unserer privaten Kommunikation dem Ziel der der Bekämpfung von <hier beliebigen Vorwand einfügen - sind wir noch bei Kindern oder schon wieder bei Terrorismus?> dient. Als wären die überhaupt in der Lage, die jetzt bereits zu Verfügung stehenden Daten adequat zu verarbeiten.
De la buée sur les vitres de la fenêtre dont nous n'avions pas fermé les volets. C'est la première fois depuis le printemps. Les nuits commencent à être fraîches, eh oui.
"Wohnungsbaugipfel": Bauministerin für Kurswechsel bei Energiesparvorschriften
Das Hin und Her über das Heizungsgesetz hat viele Bürger verschreckt. Vor dem "Wohnungsbaugipfel" am Montag gibt es nun Kritik an Energiesparstandards.
"Das Hin und Her über das Heizungsgesetz hat viele Bürger verschreckt."
Nein. Die von Medien verbreiteten Lügen und das von der FDP passend koordinierte scheinbare Hin und Her hat die Bürger verschreckt. Genau wie geplant. Denn das Ziel war immer schon, den Fortschritt auszubremsen, damit Unternehmen die Menschen noch so lang wie möglich auszunehmen können. Jeder Tag weiter in die Sackgasse minimiert die Verluste der darin tätigen Unternehmen auf Kosten der Bürger.
