If anyone is wondering, you can download the .jxl files from here:
- Comment on French agency says the iPhone 12 emits too much radiation, tells Apple to withdraw it 1 year ago:
I get that you’re trying to be funny, but no they’re not exactly “equally valid”.
The WHO lists RF waves (including those from cellphones) under category Group 2B of possible carcinogens, along with a bunch of other stuff.
Are they being overly cautious? Almost certainly, yes. However, the idea is not inherently ridiculous.

Certainly, but the existence of this research is why countries like France are taking this precautionary approach.

To be fair, it’s not completely made-up. There is a body of evidence that suggests that even non-ionizing EM radiation may have so-called “biological effects” in humans.
Organizations like the EH Trust have been banging the “cellphones cause infertility and cancer” drum for year, and cites numerous studies on their website.
Of course, much of this research is of questionable relevance to real-world use cases involving actual phones and actual humans as opposed to, say, a bunch of rats being blasted with low-power microwaves in a lab, but it exists nonetheless.
- Comment on Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux 1 year ago:
The main reason for the Linux operating system not seeing widespread adoption is because of its multitude of distros.
No it isn’t - it’s because the vast majority of computer/laptop users just stick with the OS that comes installed on their device and probably aren’t even aware than installing a new one is even an option. Your grandma isn’t sitting there thinking “should I install Ubuntu or Fedora?” …
Lemmy/Kbin do have something in common with Linux in that the Fediverse concept requires a certain amount of technical knowledge to understand, but it’s far easier to grasp that than it is to install Linux on your home computer.
