I smell the same flavour of bullshit about RedNote that I do/did about Bluesky. The articles are so obviously Astro turfing.

I've heard (not confirmed) that as a firefighter I can turn up to a blood donation centre, tell them I'm a firefighter and want to dump PFAS and they'll draw, and dispose, of my blood.

I should confirm it...

Why would we let another corporation take control? Recovers is where it's at.

I'm not sure you need to melt it for the PFAS to leech out. There was a study recently about smart watch bands and they found that the PFAS exposure from wearing them was way above safe limits and they weren't being heated to 327C.

Sounds like another reason not to use Chrome.

Isn't this just more of what caused the problem in the first place? Namely, centralisation. If you store data locally and you lose a machine, that's bad but not the end of the world. If you store it centrally and you lose the data, that's catastrophic. Nassim Taleb nailed this stuff. Keep the downside limited, and the upside unlimited or as he says, "Don't pick up pennies in front of a steamroller."
