Some of the new Russian reactor types are designed to burn away dangerous hot actinides. MSR need onboard fuel processing to continue to operate anyway.

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.

IPv6 is really widespread.

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.

Heh.

Another good reason to stick with Debian though.

Linux kernel? Where?

Assuming you mean distro, where is it in Debian?

If I want AI I can always install llama or similar locally.

They are probably going to offset it with buying greenwashed indulgences.

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.

Put GrapheneOS on your Pixel device.

Early adopters and technical users are more likely to be free/libre users.
