Not an expert, but molten salt reactors are correct. MSRs are especially useful as breeder reactors, since they can actually reinvigorate older, spent fuel using more common isotopes. Thorium in particular is useful here. Waste has also been largely reduced with the better efficiency of modern reactors.

Currently, Canada's investing in a number of small modular reactors to improve power generation capacity without the need to establish entire new nuclear zones and helps take some of the stress off the aging CANDU reactors. These in particular take advantage of the spent fuel and thorium rather than the very expensive and hard to find Uranium more typically used. There's been interest in these elsewhere too, but considering how little waste is produced by modern reactors, and the capacity for re-use, it feels pike a very good way to supplement additional wind and solar energy sources.

Oh don't worry. They believe it's man made, just not in the way you want.

Everything is lovely. Fences is definitely user preference though. I'm too generally disorganized to make use of it

Microsoft's design philosophy in any of their products has gone from well organized menus to relying instead on a search bar. Copilot is a further addition to that design, with yet more pushes to never use a menu, but instead just tell it what you want and have it spit it back out. They want everything you make to go on OneDrive as well, so it can also be indexed this way. Teams works the same way. The big search bar at the top is unavoidable.

Windows search is complete garbage, which you might think is a counterpoint, but instead it's just that they only put work into having it serve results for cloud-indexed items or web results.

I knew about this, but as a Prime Original. I guess it was put out on Freevee later?

Wow, a few items here:

  1. Had anyone heard of it?
  2. IMDb is apparently owned by Amazon?
  3. IMDB had a streaming service?

I don't really understand the aesthetic purpose of this, but fun that it's something you can do I guess

The selling point for me right now with Plasma is how well rounded it is. It's also currently the only desktop env offering HDR support, which means it's basically a must for me.

That's literally the whole point of GIMP 3

Fair enough, just haven't been in a position to take a look. The screenshot may show it, but it shows it in the scenario they describe should show it.

Based on the feature description, I think it seems more likely that the padlock/cert info isn't shown at all, similar to Chrome's recent change. Though at least Mozilla isn't framing it as if that was somehow information that confuses people.

These actually seem like a useful featureset, but I'd like to know where I can view the certificate information of a site now.
