"This study has identified intermediary molecules that are critical for us to ensure the PFAS molecule is completely destroyed, and to ensure no harmful byproducts are formed," he said.

Co-author from Colorado State University, Professor Anthony Rappé, said, "This international team effort is illustrative of the collaborative environmental work that CSIRO leads."

The ultimate goal of incinerating PFAS is a process called "mineralization." This converts the strong fluorocarbon chains into inorganic compounds like calcium fluoride, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water.

These byproducts can, in turn, be captured at the source and transformed into reusable materials such as industrial chemicals, concrete, fertilizers and fuels.

While further research is needed, these insights offer a promising option for destroying PFAS safely, and for good.

PFAS occur in a range of consumer, industrial, and commercial products, such as non-stick food packaging and cookware, and legacy firefighting foams.

The chemicals can leach into soils and groundwater, travel long distances, and do not fully break down naturally, giving them their moniker of "forever chemicals."

Awesome! So this is true annihilation with no harmful residue. There is hope!

So, does this mean more spectacular crashes given the ATC issues?

Actions speak louder than words.

US Mobile is a self-proclaimed "supercarrier" which offers SIMs across all major networks (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile), so you can change as you like according to your phone's compatibility. However, the CEO (who is active on /r/usmobile) has been known to kick existing customer loyalty to the curb in favor of new members, and their customer service centers are in Pakistan, where he's from.

These may or may not be good or bad things depending on your threat model, but one thing's for sure: their price is unbeatable! Come to think of it, I have a referral link for anyone who may be interested, but that's up to you. I actually dislike the CEO's practices, but I'm already locked in for a year and didn't know until later...

Your Android device doesn't have a personal dictionary section in the Language & Input page? What phone do you have? Yeah, keeping it offline is probably fine, but I'm just surprised since this has been a thing for at least 7 Android versions now, as far as I know.

By the way, HeliBoard (an offline fork of the now-defunct OpenBoard) seems to have its own private, built-in personal dictionary; I migrated to that since finding out.

It sounds like a pain, but I think it's worth doing.

Or what about just, you know, avoiding any kind of thing that requires a LinkedIn account?

Just as a warning, LibreWolf inherently messes with the browser time zone as a key aspect of its programming, so if you schedule videos for publication (for example), they'll publish at a way different time. Seeing how there was no way to easily turn off its time zone obfuscation was what reverted me to Waterfox. It can also mess with scheduled messages or timestamps in chat apps.

I've been on Waterfox for years with no problem. !waterfox@programming.dev

Ha, I just made !espanso@programming.dev recently!

Why do you use a separate Android app with all of those hostile permissions instead of the built-in personal dictionary and its shortcuts? I have thousands of shorthand lines in Android's personal dictionary, like wdyl = what do you like (type the first part and the second part appears in the autocorrect pane for you to touch if you want).

Rethink is better than NetGuard.

Interesting, this is my first time learning about Jan, and frankly, it looks better! I think I'll pivot...
