Yeah haha that’s why I said “I’ve heard” 😂

The particulate matter won’t occur in a hydrocarbon that is generated, that comes from imperfect processing of crude. If you pull the carbon directly out of the air there are no particulates.

But yes it will still be carbon neutral. No additional carbon will be released back into the atmosphere.

No they do exist! But most scientists agree that we are unlikely to ever see commercial airliners using it, nor will freight liners use it. We would have to see ENORMOUS scientific improvements and many many many things that seem incredibly far fetched invented to get to that point.

If 99.9% of people on the planet do it, it’s not a hobby. It’s a behavior.

But 99.9% of people on the planet do know how to walk. If people don’t have special awareness, then doing more walking isn’t gonna help that.

How about you go argue with the scientists calling it carbon neutral. My wife literally works in the field. It’s called carbon neutral.

Coke makes more sense than pop, since coca cola was literally named after the term.

You’re calling it a hobby. That’s not what the image says. They’re behaviors. Like walking. You wouldn’t expect someone to think walking is a “fun activity in which your skill with it generally increases”. It’s just a fact of existing.

What.

The.

Fuck.

It’s not worse. It’s carbon neutral (as long as the energy source is renewable like the sun). Any carbon it takes in will be released exactly back to where it was. It’s a much much better option than digging up oil.

On top of that, there are currently no likely possibilities of replacing gasoline for things like planes. So replacing their gas with carbon neutral gas will improve the situation by 100%.

I thought this was well known. That’s why I don’t understand people using whatsapp at all. On android and ios products from the same company can access data between different apps, breaking through the sandbox. So if you have WA and FB installed, FB can see the data in WA and then send it in plain text back to meta’s servers (or encrypting with a key they have access to).

This does not mean that WA isn’t e2e encrypted. That’s why this spokesman can say:

“Any claim that people’s WhatsApp messages are not encrypted is categorically false and absurd,” spokesman Andy Stone said in an email. “WhatsApp has been end-to-end encrypted using the Signal protocol for a decade. This lawsuit is a frivolous work of fiction.”

And be completely truthful, and yet the lawsuit also be completely truthful. If you can visually see it on your screen then Meta can have access to it if they wanted. You have to actually trust the company behind the software as well and it needs to be open source and auditable and that still isn’t necessarily enough. WA already doesn’t meet two of these requirements so why in the world would you trust it at all?

Here’s an article talking about this on iOS. https://iosbrain.com/blog/2022/05/24/beyond-the-sandbox-using-app-groups-to-communicate-between-ios-or-macos-apps/

According to the wiki it didn’t actually get rid of the smells, it just pulled them to above pedestrian height so people couldn’t smell them as much.
