Completely agree.

The Wikipedia article itself has this to say:

Extinguish: When extensions become a de facto standard because of their dominant market share, they marginalize competitors who are unable to support the new extensions.

By that logic Lemmy/Mastodon/fediverse are already extinguished. Those of us in the fediverse are already “marginalized” wrt Twitter/Threads/Facebook/whatever.

There are very good reasons to hate Meta, but personally, I think EEE isn’t the biggest issue.

Microwaves aren’t resonant or anything fancy — they’re just dielectric heating.

AFAIK in the USA, nuclear energy is the safest per unit energy generated. Solar is more “dangerous” simply because you can fall off a roof.

Nuclear energy has huge risks and potential for safety issues, yes. But sticking to the numbers, it is extremely safe.

I’m not a big fan

I see what you did there.

France made a big mistake to go all in.

Not only does Germany import electricity from France (which comes from…?), but Germany has (according to this) a substantially higher carbon footprint per capita.

If the only issue is cost and projects taking longer than expected, isn’t that a good tradeoff for carbon neutral power?

And yes, of course, I would prefer renewables, you would prefer renewables, we all would. But it’s somewhat disingenuous to decry the use of nuclear, advocate for renewables, and at the same time, rely heavily on coal, as Germany does (or at the very least, did recently.

So, start a few minutes before midnight, get in 50 laps, then 50 the next day.

Computer Modern or GTFO.

Yeah and good luck mentioning that macOS is UNIX.

Yeah only makes sense if you call it “desktop *NIX dominance” or maybe just “non-Windows dominance.”
