Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance
  • @blazera
    I did not say it was safe, I said after a few decades is far easier to process. It does not remain "crazy" high radioactive for thousands of years - that is pure hyperbole. The chart attached illustrates radiotoxicity if ingested - and no one advises anyone to eat nuclear waste.

    Ps. There is a country which has solved long term storage. Guess where I live.

    Inaccurate. To take it back to basics:

    Radioactive material radiates, because it decays. The more it radiates, the faster it decays. The highest level radioactive material from nuclear fission reactors has half-life measured in decades (30 years), that is, half of it will decay in that time. It does NOT take thousands of years. Conversely, the long-lived isotopes radiate much less, thus are easier to store and process.

    The Big Social score so far:

    The Big Social score so far: \- Twitter: burning \- Reddit: detonated a bomb under itself \- Meta: rumored to join #ActivityPub with a new app \- YouTube: videos were always 2nd to "native" ones on the other networks, but they could trivially open an #ActivityPub firehose (and maintain their preroll ads while doing so) \- rest of Google: never found organic success and don't have a bet in the game apart from wanting to index everything

    No predictions here, just stating the obvious. @fediverse

    Reddit perma-banning account promoting Lemmy has Streisand effect
  • Hilarious that a #HackerNews top voted comment on a post wrt #Reddit censoring mentions of #Lemmy effectively argues that the latter is "too geeky and hard to use" and that the former two won't be displaced because they're well known and easy to approach.

    These people have ZERO self awareness. Never mind understanding about the legacy of their forums.

  • Why has (https://mas.to/tags/Strava) not embraced (https://mas.to/tags/ActivityPub)? It doesn't seem like at all a stretch to have the private/followers-only/everyone model map

    Why has #Strava not embraced #ActivityPub? It doesn't seem like at all a stretch to have the private/followers-only/everyone model map to strava.social fedi visibility.

    For that matter, why aren't #Komoot or #GarminConnect jumping on the opportunity? Seems like easy way to promote both fitness and their own apps.

    Edit: 🧵
