[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 0 points 8 months ago (4 children) Fusion power ain't there yet though, bad example? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 1 point 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children) Fusion power isn't commercially practical. We could make a working fusion plant right now. It would suck and provide almost no power, but we could make one. And the difference between the one we can make today that barely works and isn't useful and one that would be useful will be some number of additional incremental steps between where we are today and when that would work. Which is exactly the point. And your the attitude of, well we aren't using it today, so nothing has actually been done, is what I'm criticizing, so thanks for making the point even more obvious. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] silasmariner@programming.dev 3 points 8 months ago (2 children) Wow, that's not my attitude at all, I said 'not there yet', I'm sorry you can't read bro permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 2 points 8 months ago (1 child) Sorry, didn't notice the different user name. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] silasmariner@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago Ok fair, sorry for being snappy, I think fusion is cool and probably pretty close these days and get a bit defensive when I feel I'm misrepresented. permalink fedilink source parent
