#toxicity
"In a first-of-its-kind study, a team of environmental engineers from the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin found that infants are exposed to high levels of chemical emissions from crib mattresses while they sleep.
Analyzing the foam padding in crib mattresses, the team found that the mattresses release significant amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), potentially harmful chemicals also found in household items such as cleaners and scented sprays."—Cockrell School of Engineering

Industry-Backed Legislation Would Bar the Use of Science Behind Hundreds of Environmental Protections
https://www.propublica.org/article/legislation-targets-epa-science-toxic-chemicals
Two bills in Congress would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from using hundreds of chemical assessments completed by its IRIS program in environmental regulations or enforcement.
@centopus personally, I see @AsahiLinux as a "canary" project in that regard.
@linuxfoundation and @torvalds need to enshure that toxicity and neighsayers are toned down way harder, cuz bullying people like #marcan into quitting isn't gonna help anyone and will only damage #Linux by making it look like the "#Neckbeard" #TechBro shitshow that #Lunduke, RMS et. al. stan for...
- I literally know a shitload of trans, non-binary or just non-#WHCM [white hetero/cis (binary) male] persons who refuse to even consider upstreaming or contributing to #Linux, #GNU or any #FLOSS projects at all due to the sheer #toxicity observed externally.
And that is a problem even if we don't care about #diversity, #equity and #inclusiom but merely the #survival of said #OpenSource projects!
- Cuz why would I (or anyone else) want to work with/on/for a company/project that'll get me (deservedly [!!!]) side-eyed at best if not unfriended by the few people I care about personally?
Other people messaging me on other channels today mentioning how toxic @jwz is. It's unfortunate when self identified antifascists are abusive to others. I was wondering why he behaved so aggressively towards me for simply talking about my experience with Mosaic/Netscape, but it seems he's aggressive towards a lot of people without justification.
#captainobvious there 'splaining for #Trump.
I'm editing this to reflect the person I want to be.
Note: I came here to get away from #toxicity like criticizing private people who we really don't know. I feel completely comfortable criticizing Trump directly. I also know some people who did vote for him who are quite intelligent, though I do think they are horribly misguided.
This morning I was the #toxic one and to my fedifriends I apologize.

Still dishonest. Some devices are not supported anymore, but it doesn't make e unsafe, just not fit for some devices
And being on Android 13 or 14 or 15 is not meaninful for security, the regularity in patches is. If you're on 15 but you get a patch only evey few months it's an issue.
If you're on 13 but you get monthly security patches it's fine.
moved What is the actual F!
Seriously, isn't this a bit toxic or is it just my ego?
https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit/issues/3388#issuecomment-2598339913
I think I have some specific arguments that could've been addressed properly. And the form "don't do this" like I'm a 3 year old boy trying to touch a hot kettle...
For damn sake. And then Open Source developers complain about toxicity it the community. Well, how about starting being respectful for the start?
As a man, I *completely* endorse this article!! Please boost widely!

New #podcast 
Samia Henni offers insights into her wide-ranging curatorial and research projects, which delve into key topics such as the role of archives in reconstructing histories, the desert as a colonial construct, and the ongoing impact of colonial toxicity on landscapes and communities. We talk about nuclear tests in Algeria, about contradictions, war propaganda and traumatic exhibitions, and about the absences in colonial archives.
Now on view: If Books Could Kill 
This exhibition casts light on the hidden dangers of manuscripts within the Walters collection and reveals the delicate science behind recognizing those toxic materials and handling them safely today.
