  • Young people are always ignorant, relatively. They haven't been around long enough to learn much, after all. However, the quality of education has been empirically declining over many decades, and mobile devices are extemely efficient accelerants of brain rot.

  • You rely on professional fabricators of misinformation to tell you the truth about who is producing misinformation? Don't fall for crude propaganda. When empires end they do some self-destructive things. It's normal.

  • Too bad we do not know which exactly thorium salt mixes they are using, what the materials facing the molten salt at high neutron fluxes are and how they fare long term, whether they use on-site constant or batched fuel reprocessing, whether they kickstarted the reactor with enrichened uranium or reactor-grade plutonium waste and other such questions.

    US experiments were broken off because of materials corrosion problem.

  • In a sense. There was a varying threshold technical bareer of entry to BBS, ARPANET/Internet, email, Usenet (uucp over dialup for early adopters), mailing lists, forums and communities like Hacker News, even early Reddit and Digg.

  • Whether NFC payments work seems very much dependent on what your bank app is allowing. Some banks in the EU have no issues, so you should check what particular payment system you want to use.

    In general, chances are low. Some people use smartwatches as a workaround.

    I don't use smartwatches nor NFC payments with smartdevices. My bank card allows NFC payments directly.

  • I've been online since early 1990s and this is my repeated empirical experience that communities with a technical entry threshold self-select for technical users initially.

    Most social network users are already hopelessly confused by the concept of federation and need to pick up an instance.
