I've only had bad experiences with ORMs. You get implicit behaviours and performance nightmares. SQL isn't hard to write, unless the model is poorly conceived, in which case throwing an ORM at it will only makes things worse. It r

There's this amazing story by 99% invisible about Guerrilla Public Service which I find both fascinating and funny at the same time. I highly recommend that episode: http://pca.st/YLdD

Yeah I agree I noticed that myself. Any other social media can be abused in roughly the same way. Twitter has its bot problems, and I'm sure given enough popularity mastodon will face the same issues too.

Isn't it the promise of renewables already? Prices dropping by double digits every year, exponential growth in every market. Coupled with emerging energy storage it seems like cheap energy is due to come long before fusion
