I just read the article from the German consumer organisation “Stiftung Warentest” about that, they write (translated with deepl):

Some products say “without octocrylene”. What do we make of this?

Octocrylene is an approved UV filter that became the subject of debate some time ago: initially, critics feared that it could interfere with the hormone system. The EU’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has reviewed the scientific studies. According to this, the maximum permitted concentration of octocrylene in cosmetics is still considered safe - it is 10 percent of the total product. It has not been exceeded by any sunscreen product in our tests since 2018.

Scientists have shown that sunscreens with octocrylene can also contain benzophenone - as an impurity or, over time, as a cleavage product of octocrylene. Benzophenone is considered a probable carcinogen. The SCCS demands that suppliers should strictly control their sunscreens and keep the benzophenone content at trace levels.

We test all products containing octocrylene for benzophenone and only found elevated levels once in 2025, in an already defective product. In our test tables, we indicate which products contain which UV filters. This allows consumers to decide for themselves whether they want to use a sunscreen containing octocrylene.

Important: Always dispose of products containing octocrylene after the season. The benzophenone content can increase during storage.

Yes, lots of sources. They’re easy to find if you start by thinking about who would know the most of a subject.

I’m telling you that if nothing is done about it, global warming, the extinction of species and other factors will raise the likelihood of humanity’s extinction to a higher level than it has been in tens of thousands of years, over the course of the next few hundred years. We can only speculate about how earth will be like in three hundred years and if there are places left that remain inhabitable for humans.

The inuit rely on fish, which are on track to become extinct in this century even. People survive in the Sahara by bringing lifestock/food and water with from elsewhere, but the desert grows from year to year.

Extinction doesn’t need to happen in seconds, like when a big space object collides with earth. It can also happen gradually. Major environmental alterations like weakened amoc and global warming will make many more regions of the earth uninhabitable, for example when the temperature rises over 46°C regularly or when there are regular droughts or floods. A lot of land where hundreds of millions of people currently live on, will be completely submerged, desertificated or barren. And these changes won’t just affect humans, but also whole ecosystems that we need to survive, for example fishing grounds, forests or, if you think about the extinction of species, especially insects, arable land in all parts of the world.

Our civilization as we know it right now can not survive catastrophes like these in the long term, and we cannot be certain that human life will remain possible on the planet without being completely dependent on artificial habitats, food, water sources etc.

Yes exactly. Embrace and extinguish has always been Microsoft’s strategy. They’ll release their own distribution and either make it slower and more complicated than Windows, so that everyone thinks Windows is the better OS, or they’ll make it a cloud OS like Chrome, requiring recurring payments to use Office 365 and everything else.

I think you’re complaining that your lemmy client displays the alt text over the image. Mine does that with videos, which I also find annoying, but not with images. In any case, it is a client issue, so you could ask your developer nicely for an option to disable this behaviour (or look in the settings if it’s already possible)

The organizers will inform the city that a critical mass protest is taking place, the city will inform the police and they will cordon off the route. If there are enough people talking part in the protest, the public order authorities will have no other choice - thus the name critical mass. The right to protest takes precedence over the right to drive this specific route.

Oh but it does. So much so, that even the clerk who was given the task remonstrated. You can look it up here: https://fragdenstaat.de/artikel/exklusiv/2025/04/proteste-berlin-ausweisung/

Her reasoning:

According to § 6 para. 2 sentence 1 FreizügG/EU, the fact of a criminal conviction alone is not sufficient to justify the aforementioned decisions or measures. Only criminal convictions that have not yet been expunged from the Federal Central Criminal Register may be taken into account, and only to the extent that the circumstances on which they are based indicate personal conduct that poses a current threat to the freedom of movement.
