  • You mean like a share button on a site that opens the lemmy Create Post page, on a user’s registered instance, with link address and title pre-filled?

    I think the federated nature of Lemmy alone makes this more trouble than it’s worth, and you’d need to consider that Lemmy users don’t all use the same web interface - some use Photon, some use Mlmym, some use Alexandrite etc. These changes would need to be introduced in each individual one most likely…

    I think it’s easier just to allow users to share the link to lemmy themselves. On desktop they can copy the link, on mobile they can share to Jerboa or whatever app, just provide the buttons for either I guess





  • Has there been a scenario where the technology itself is to blame? The contamination aspect of nuclear waste is well known and preventable, if costs are being cut on radioactive waste disposal (or in the case of a certain Japanese power company, ignoring warnings from the government on how to reduce ocean contamination in the event of an earthquake) a nuclear installation’s fate is sealed…

    As far as I can see, the only downsides with nuclear IMO is that it takes multiple decades to decommission a single plant, the environmental impact on that plant’s land in the interim, and the initial cost to build the plant.

    In comparison to Solar it sounds awful, but before solar, nuclear honestly would have made a lot of sense. I think it may even still be worth it in places that have a high demand for constant power generation, since Solar only generates while the sun’s about, and then you’re looking at overnight energy storage with lithium-based batteries, which have their own environmental and humanitarian challenges












  • Alstom has been building manufacturing facilities in America specifically for this project, (and other projects popping up across the US, making it a financially viable endeavor) however there are lots of urbanist communities on the net that explain this arrangement in much more detail.

    The trains are very much of a European design, just most of the materials are sourced in the US and they’re manufactured in the US.

    There is one truly domestic passenger train manufacturer in the US (sorry, can’t recall their name), and AFAIK they were not chosen because they don’t have both the experience or available capacity to make what Amtrak are after

    Edit: also should mention some of the new trains have been parked in Amtrak’s yards for several years now, fully assembled. Occasionally you’ll hear a peep about them being used for testing but that’s it
