I think this underestimates how users will naturally gravitate towards more centralized instances, or they’ll give up because the bigger instances are closed. Someone’s gotta pay for it, and it’s going to cost more than a Netflix subscription. Servers aren’t cheap.

This also ignores that the system isn’t horizontally scalable at all, so scaling up gets even more expensive

There’s a JS client, or you can generate one from the OpenAPI spec I put together: https://github.com/Stumblinbear/lemmy-openapi

To be fair, most people aren’t driving across the US on an even yearly basis, if ever in their lives.

And France is doing perfectly fine with it except for skimping on maintenance and also them coming up on their end-of-life without replacement

Wow two whole accidents in a hundred years? One of them didn’t hurt a single person? The other only killed 30 people? Crazy! That’s SO dangerous?

What…? Coal mining killed a hundred thousand people in the last century? In the US alone? Wind turbines kill a few dozen a year in just the UK alone?

Oh man one whole accident from obvious negligence which is easily resolved by the absolute most basic of regulation. Are you implying we’re as bad as the USSR when it comes to basic safety? There have been hundreds of thousands of reactors going perfectly fine since then. Modern reactors can literally not fail in the same way that caused Chernobyl.

I meant to type “or” not “of.”

bad incidents

Kyshtym was not a nuclear reactor and was also in the USSR.

Windscale had nobody be injured or die in the moment, but POSSIBLY a hundred due to long term radiation, though this is disputed.

Three Mile Island had zero injuries and zero deaths. The issues it had were entirely due to badly designed control panels and multiple human errors in succession, which has been addressed. Every single one of its safety systems worked perfectly as designed, but one stupid dude did the wrong things at the wrong times and fucked it up. Even then, again, it was an incredibly benign accident.

Church Rock isn’t even a nuclear reactor.

Fukushima, again, was quite benign. Nobody died and (iirc) nobody was injured. Its safety systems worked exactly as designed and the only issue was bad placement and not being built to survive the possible tsunamis that it may face, which is easily resolved through the most basic of regulation.

Yeah, there’s some cleanup in these, but in everything but Chernobyl the surrounding area is perfectly fine. If these are your “bad incidents” then I really wonder what you think of the thousands of people that are actively dying per year putting up and maintaining windmills.

Time and time again nuclear proves to be the safest form of energy production on every single metric.

Please tell me what IDE you’re using that’s capable of highlighting SQL syntax that’s embedded inside another language source file

Also please fucking stop with the “it’s current year stop x.” The year is not an argument.

Unfortunately RustRover is still garbage for actual usage. And I refuse to use an ORM when I can just write the SQL in a more common syntax that everyone understands across every language instead of whatever inefficient library-of-the-week there is. Raw SQL is fine and can be significantly more performant. Don’t be scared.
