The problem is that no o.e will just serve a static PNG banner ad anymore. Ads these days inherently come with all the BS that makes blocking them mandatory

good because fuck copyright.

fuck off.

abolish ICE

with any luck this will destroy them and funnel disgruntled users our way, where the servers are too numerous to ever fully take down and many aren’t even US based anyways

It’s gotten really crappy

Fail

It’s kinda insane how much abuse we all tolerated that turned out to be totally unnecessary

Now that fediverse link aggragation has hit critical mass for non ghost town atmosphere I.have no reason to go back to a Corpo shopping mall. Sure I’m more likely than not to still.run out of new stuff to look at but that takes a while and I accept it as a growing pain while we grow to greatness. Soon even that won’t be an issue and the corpos will be toast

Spez is a nazi

nonsense regulation combined with some high profile failures from barely modified gen 2 designs being built in countries where there hasn’t been a nuclear construction industry for decades so they have to build the infrastructure from scratch each time. it’s the wrong approach. the SMR route way is better.

snuffed out by big oil who co-opted anti nuclear weapons protestors to take out their competition

also since fuel costs aren’t really a problem for nuclear power, you can just throw away excess generation. not the best idea but perfectly possible in a pinch

yeah, do a nuclear backup for renewables. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_Molten_Salt_Reactor this reactor outputs solar salt, which can store energy efficiently for hours and allow load following

china’s been building dozens of reactors, all of a common design which is the correct way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hualong_One

bullshit regulatory costs can increase infinitely without nay change to the underlying engineering or economics. that’s 100% the cause of the price increses

big oil pushes this stuff, by the way. because they know the reality that when nuclear plants get shut down, natural gas replaces it

the earthquake didn’t even damage the plant, they thought of that. the tsunami knocked out the power lines and bad generator placement led to loss of power for cooling. build reactors to passively cool themselves (which should just be a mandatory safety feature on new reactors tbh, it’s not a big ask and improves safety a lot) and fukushima type accidents become impossible. that plant was so old that the original operating license was going to expire a week after the quake and the only guy who died had a heart attack. fukushima-sized death tolls happen in the rooftop solar installation industry every year, totally unreported.

yeah you can do throium, and there are some compelling reasons to, but uranium is fine enough. anti-nuke isn’t about actual technical enlargements. the anti nukes hate nuclear fusion too

indeed. also chernobyl and fukushima aren’t comparable, really. I’d support a law that all new power reactors need to have passive cooling relying on the laws of physics, not relying on external power, but that’s not a high bar and many designs already have it. remember that most currently operating reactors were built all at once in the mid 20th century and even then their safety record has been great. we can do better with new construction
