  • Might not be artificial, but it doesn’t look natural in sweetener form:

    The process of extracting stevia -

    Dried stevia leaves are subjected to purified water first. Then followed by a precipitation process with ferric chloride and calcium hydroxide to remove non-soluble plant materials & other impurities and follow filtration.

    Then the leaf extract goes through an adsorption resin, which is used to trap the steviol glycosides of the leaf extract.

    Afterward, wash the resin with ethanol to release steviol glycosides and decolorize the resulting solution with activated carbon to remove the colors in leaves, and then concentrated by evaporation.

    Again, go through the process of decolorization, filtration and spray-drying. The spray-dried product is then combined with similarly processed additional extracts, dissolved in ethanol and/or methanol, crystallized and filtered. Finally, after further processes of crystallization, filtered and spray-dried to obtain pure stevioside.

    In case you didn’t realize, this whole post and thread are just a joke. Try not to take yourself too serious.

    But if you must know, I’m currently on Pixel 8, and most of what I posted describe actual well known problems with Android. You would know that if you used Android.

    Android users won’t be able to reply.

    Third party launchers randomly freeze for no reason.

    Lemmy app crashed due to unknown reasons, but suspected due to battery manager failure.

    Notification of your post never showed up anyway due to Android hosing notifications with Doze, which everyone thought Doze was done for, but really it was just buried deeper into the OS.

    And then Google decided to A-B test all Lemmy users, so that the Lemmy app opens random songs in YouTube Music instead.

    I’m not really the one to ask as I don’t buy a smart phone for a camera. However, it looks good to me and I have a picky eye. And from what I’ve seen, you can use Google Camera on Grapheneos and get the same quality pictures and video.

    I had recently installed Grapheneos on my pixel, with a goal is determining what was responsible for all the senseless Google domains that a pixel normally contacts.

    To my surprise disabling Network for the Google Services Framework and Play Services killed all of the nonsense. The only downside was that GSF has the push mechanism in it also, that many apps use for push notifications.

    If only there were an alternate for push notifications that all apps would use.

    Anyway, Grapheneos runs way cooler than Google’s Malware version.
