It's been long established that coal produces more radioactive waste than nuclear power, and largely dumps it straight into the environment.

Somehow people think it's worse if you keep it contained rather than massively diluted. If we thought of it like we do radiation in coal waste, we'd be happy to just dump it in the ocean.

Living in Finland, I'm proud of the fact that we've got one of the first long-term/final storage sites for nuclear waste in the world. YIMBY.

Oddly enough, it's safer than wind.

Solar's a little better in that regard, but all three are so much safer than any high-carbon sources of energy that any of them are great options.

"Why does it keep making stuff up and then getting argumentative if called out?!"

Helsinki is, for some reason, full of massage parlours.

There's a neighbourhood called Kallio that was formerly rather cheap but has become much more expensive and gentrified, and the massage parlours remain. I have no idea how they can afford their rent, as I've never seen anyone going into or coming out of one of those venues.

Obviously they provide "extra services", but I don't think that can be enough to sustain them. I suspect money laundering from drug sales etc.

Those are patents. Patents are not copyright, although they both fall under the general umbrella of intellectual property protection.

Just ask for an extension. Professors have seen this "trick" a thousand times and know exactly what you're doing. They will respect you more and give you more leeway in the future if you're straight with them.

Thanks for the link, but I already provided links to all three patents (confusingly, with the same names) that they were making claims on in my reply.

The thing about patents is that they are regularly granted for blindingly obvious processes that should never be patentable. It's not just companies like Google that get screwed by this, it's individual developers, FOSS projects... All sorts.

The patent system is fundamentally broken.

You live in Finland.

We have military service here because we're a small country with a large and aggressive neighbour that not only has attacked us within living memory, but is currently demonstrating what it does to neighbouring countries that it thinks it can get away with attacking.

If military service makes sense anywhere...

Federation. The cause of, and solution to, all of Lemmy's problems.

Qwant sends data to Bing ads, and didn't tell its users about it for five years.

Yandex is a Russian company with strong government links that I wouldn't trust in any way.
