Some more details may be helpful. I’m on ios and use compact setting, never had it revert to large

On iOS, swiping in the sidebar does nothing on my phone.

You sure about that?

You missed out bully, misogynist

Not found such an option but fat fingered me would appreciate one.

WTF is a wifi company? Next up: how a cat5 company can protect your privacy??

Checked the mod log. Seems a bit harsh to delete your comment

Agreed, it is totally subjective. For me, 5 posts in quick succession, all linking to the same website, is spammy, and i will downvote it. Interesting technology, but one post with a link is enough for me. But i respect anyone’s right to disagree and upvote the posts.

It is technology, yes. It’s new, a bit niche, but i would be fine with a (cross) post explaining what it is. But there have been several posts from OP on this.

Stop spamming the technology community wit this stuff, keep it in amateur radio please

Just carry on. I did not know your app existed (I am on iOS), and would question the decision to put your real name in the repo. But markdown support is hardly the most important part of a Lemmy app.

Sure, spoiler tags are nice sometimes , footnotes I don’t care about. And my app of choice, voyager (after memmy died off), only recently added support for spoiler tags.

Keep going. The fediverse needs variety.

Still dead, and not on iOS App Store anymore

That rule is as rubbish as most headlines though

Time to send more Bradleys then.

Same for username

The reason I questioned the literal battery theory / electrolysis is based on this quote from the BBC article The scientists worked out that the metal nodules are able to make oxygen precisely because they act like batteries. I have since found the original research paper (i linked it elsewhere in this post) which suggests the authors did not actually say that and aren’t sure of the exact mechanism. Your ‘voltage potential grabbing polar ends’ is not one on the known methods of splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen (see wikipedia, which all require electricity, light, radiation or extreme heat. None of which seem to apply here, and the paper also does not mention hydrogen being produced. So maybe there isn’t water being split here by these nodules

I like that theory

Taking a test lol no, way too old for that. But while these lumps of metal in sea water may generate some electricity, I can’t see them magically lining up in series like in a 9V battery, and below a certain voltage (1.5) there is no electrolysis - not even a little bit. But I have since found the original article and raw data, and it seems the people that wrote it don’t know either exactly how this oxygen is created.

What seems to be the original study:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01480-8#Sec14

TLDR, they aren’t sure where the (small amounts) of oxygen comes from. And while the article is full of numbers, the section on measuring voltage from these lumps does not contain any. The raw data suggests (to me as a non expert) that the voltages measured are way too low for electrolysis of water (which requires >1.5V)

Electrolysis requires an electric current, so energy. What I don’t understand from this article is where that energy is coming from. Magnets have nothing to do with it, they don’t produce energy. Batteries do, and different metals in salt water may act as a battery, but then they get used up in the process.
