Isn't that assuming you pipe it out using metal. Would plastic or carbon fibre be viable for this? Or at least coating a metal pipe?
Would it really create a dead sea zone? I mean to desalinate, you're pulling the water out, extracting salt. So effectively taking water from the ocean without the salt. Surely putting it back isn't going to be massive issue as currents will push out more salty water to less salty areas until it is back to where it was.
I guess the art of it would be the rate of returning it to the sea, and the surface area over where it is put back. Longed pipes to deeper water will probably make a less horrific situation, as more water = less salt concentration.
Though, we shouldn't rule out make a deal with social media, the share level of salt involved probably needs replenishing.
I wouldn't engage with them personally. I use grapheneOS. I would use their matrix for support only, but we already know the community is a little... errrr... defensive. Definitely not the place to debate stuff like this, and those folk involved are pretty bright anyway.
"Android immutable model could totally work with more customizability like desktops, and still be secure" - I read this, and don't know enough, but I'm wondering if this is a selling point of a rival of theirs. I think they're very precise and ardent on secure. Some of their rivals allow more flexibility, and less secure, so it could have been a conversation they've had millions of times with people trolling them. Obviously, they're quite sensitive, and react way beyond the pale, but good policy is don't troll folk that may need mental health help.
The fact you know Daniel, and the history, and went in their to debate is really quite questionable. "I wonder what would happen if I take this box of matches into this room full of flammable material". It's weird you're asking people to go in and debate with them. Why are you advocating this? It's like you're wanting to troll them, and while there is often not excusing some of the actions on that project, what is your goal? Subtle trolling is a thing.
Either way, use what software you want. Their matrix is run by them, and they define the rules of how they operate. It isn't a public entity, it's a private club.
"meaning I wouldn’t be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone". The original post indicated data was the issue. If they want to get the sim out and wipe it, they will. Need to solve the problem (data loss).
Some phones including Samsung are encrypted by default.
Don't keep data on your device you don't need and use the encryption.
If you click it on desktop, or the link off it, it has both those things.
You can name your open source software anything and people are fine with it.
GIMP has been setting that path for years.
without mentioning that one has to buy an iphone price tagged pixel to install it
That bit is misleading. I bought the 6A for £299 when the 7 came out. You cannot buy a new iPhone for £299.
But yeah, not watched the video as it probably is as bad as you describe.
Oh gosh, that's a blast from the past. I forgot that existed.
Minetest is the engine, MineClone2 is the game. Minetest has a default game (Minetest game), which has no mobs or anything. It's dull without mods. MineClone2 is recreation of Minecraft on Minetest, but with some differences. For example, you can use a burger to lure villagers. It's great fun and worth a try.
What is a good alternative you would recommend?
