@RizzRustbolt What's your fetch modus, warrior?

@possiblylinux127 Or BeFS

@someguy Thank you!

@slazer2au Yes!

@mogoh I just mentioned the group and it worked!

The way it's supposed to be!

I'm so happy for this omfgrotflolcopter

@linuxmemes

@th3rdsergeevich It is my first op-post on lemmy, that's right.

@linuxmemes

@30p87 Okay, looks like we finally have actual groups in Fedi that are compatible across the board.

I've been waiting for this for so long, I've almost given up all hope.

@linuxmemes

@linuxmemes Wow, that worked!

@aviationeast yo man chill damn

@yogthos This. Crypto as well.

Having some Internet-wide independent currency is, in my books, a genuinely good idea. It allows people like me to survive under the unfair governments. Yes, plural. I work internationally, you see.

What's happening around this tech with all this scams and market gambling and the fact that everybody jumped on the literally first implementation which is very much underdeveloped (frankly, fucking raw) - well... that sucks, and that creates a blind backlash.

@NeoToasty

@comfy There's a certain art to using sarcasm and other forms of irony on the Internet.

Irony only works if everybody is in on the joke. Even the butt of the joke, unless it is your explicit intention to offend them. Otherwise, it's just being an insufferable asshole. Because you end up just confusing and/or offending random people. No bueno.

My recipie: read the room. If you're unsure your irony will be recognized, don't use it. Just fucking don't.

@tamal3 is right.

Fucking hell, people, go touch some grass, go meet real human beings. Not everybody adheres to the moral code you construct in your head, and that is FINE!!

@infiniteass What about everyone else? Will my friends be happy and secure with it? People I don't know or care about? Hell, even my enemies?

I highly doubt it.

@infiniteass

This chip was put there by very good, smart people who want only the best for the world.

Which version of the "best for the world" are we talking? Your "best for the world" does not necessarily match my "best for the world".

@DrunkenPirate I'd accept this argument if it were still 1950s.

The year is 2024. Now we know better what to do with nuclear waste.

First, it's actually crazy recyclable. You can separate plutonium and unreacted uranium from fission products and use it again, making your fuel cycle way more efficient.

Second, you don't actually need to store the leftover fission products in an on-ground dump, that's actually mighty dumb. Instead, the borehole disposal can be used. Basically, drill a hole several kilometers deep - that's easy enough when you take the drilling equipment from all those oil barons - put your fission products in there (they're quite compact by volume, if you separate it out) and then seal the hole with concrete. Nobody's going to dig this up ever again. It's a solved problem.

Cleaning up sites like Sellafield is just dealing with the wartime legacy, when nuclear research was less about energy production, and more about bombs. It doesn't have to be this way.

@ininewcrow I wanna steal this idea.

@Beastlygr

@UltraGiGaGigantic It's the only way to fight, though.

@TheImpressiveX

@bstix You don't have to be rich to be an asshole, but you almost certainly have to be an asshole to get rich.

@UltraGiGaGigantic

@DrunkenPirate

I prefer the easy way of living.

There is no such thing as "easy way of living".

Renewables suck at energy density, predictability and control.

Nuclear gives you all three.

Also, look into the solar panel manufacturing costs to the environment.

Of course, renewables are a must. But by dismantling nuclear you kneecapped yourselves, guys, big time.

@dragonfucker

@ArtemisMystique No.

It changed my view on how true to their ideas some people are.
