Cartes search and user experience was surprisingly good! Well done. I was caught off guard by having the requirement for a Bluesky account for reviews instead of something open source/federated but wasn't able to read the explanation page as it was french only, but I think the international version is still work in progress, so I'll gladly return in the future.

Thanks !

We're not using Bluesky, but Atproto ;) So place reviews is federated and open-source : we use Eurosky/Mu.social daily for our social accounts. Also, Bluesky itself is open-source.

> but I think the international version is still work in progress, so I'll gladly return in the future.

Yes sorry, we're working on it, daily !

Thanks for elaborating, very cool! And thanks for all your work, I'll be sure to try it properly and understand it a bit more.

I had the same problem but for me resetting them fixed that quickly. Then I was able to add them on my Macbook so they don't do that anymore when connecting to other peoples apple devices.

It's not clean though? It requires massive amounts of mining and refining to even get the fuel, and it's no more renewable than fossiles

It requires least amount of mining vs alternatives, where did you get this weird false narrative https://ourworldindata.org/low-carbon-technologies-need-far-... ?

If you include Uranium in the oceans, we have about 4.5 billion years of fuel.

It's no less renewable than the Sun.

In general, “clean” as in zero carbon and air pollution

I'm amazed that the main debate on how clean or dangerous nuclear energy is still circles around the plants themselves and storage of spent energy. I believe that glaring oversight here is that enriched nuclear fuel doesn't grow on trees. Somehow no one ever seems to talk about how efficient and clean the mining of these rare earths is and in which countries that happens. Nuclear being a clean energy is a myth as far as I know. Actually relevant information would be how the necessary mining for uranium etc. compares to coal. I suspect it is only slightly better

Nuclear lifecycle calculations include mining. The human cost is terrible, but a separate problem (we could theoretically have ethical mining practices that don't produce more CO2).

Here's some numbers I was able to find on total carbon lifecycle for the energy types: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ipcc_wg3_ar5... - Coal is 68x more CO2 than Nuclear https://unece.org/sites/default/files/2021-11/LCA_final.pdf - Coal is 165x more CO2 than Nuclear https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy - Coal is 161x more CO2 than Nuclear

Keep in mind that the energy density of nuclear fuel is astronomically higher than that of coal, so even if the processes were equivalently wasteful (and I'm fairly certain they are not) coal would still cause significantly more damage. The process also differ significantly:

Uranium is often pumped out of the ground after being chemically extracted.

Coal is almost always carted out after being blasted.

Solar isn't exactly squeaky clean either.

Look into things like lithium mining (for batteries; yes, I am aware that other options exist, but lithium is still a very common one). That one is straight up nasty.

For the storage, check Onkalo for example

Enriched fuel can be gotten from Urenco/Orano or you can build Candu units otherwise. Over half of global uranium mining is already in situ (with several exceptions, Canada among them for good reasons) which is more or less ok enviromentally. Especially considering nuclear requires least amount of mining vs alternatives per kwh. "Nuclear being a clean energy is a myth as far as I know" - then you should inform yourself better. You can start for example with UNECE report https://unece.org/sites/default/files/2022-04/LCA_3_FINAL%20...

Trying to say nuclear mining is as bad as coal without even trying to inform yourself about the topic is fascinating

To add to what the other comment said, you have to take into account a reactor is normally refueled every 18-24 months. A coal plant, for example, takes in trains of coal a day.

I like your recommendations mostly, just wanted to point out that Organic Maps has had a falling out with the Open Source community that built it, so I wouldn't use that anymore. The community fork is called 'CoMaps' now.

Great... I consider this for my next App listing. Unfortunately there is no edit option at the moment. Since I don't use Organic Maps any more, I just remembered it being the most usable alternative.

Comaps seems to have a lot of benefits though.

Isn't organic maps itself a community fork of maps.me?
