My layperson understanding is that with space you only have to have something robust enough to keep the atmospheric pressure in (as well as other considerations of course) which allows for less robust materials. For deep sea exploration you need something robust enough to keep the water pressure out.

For additional info: 10 metres of water depth is approximately equivalent to 1 atmosphere's worth of pressure (ATM) - so 50 metres is 5ATM and so on and so forth. So theoretically a submarine would have to combat hundreds of ATMs of pressure, whereas a space craft only has to combat at most a couple of ATM.

In the ISS a minor hole can be patched pretty easily and quickly as it's a slow leak of air out, however if a leak occurs in a submarine the results can be explosive and deadly.

And Android to iOS RCS messaging could work if Apple decided to implement RCS on iMessage.

Not an Apple fanboy in the slightest but one could argue that the fact it was so difficult (without knowing ALL the security details) is a feature not a bug.

Surely there'd be a way for him to get someone to manually unblock his account if his ego'sbeen hit that much.

Though that being said that'd require staff to do so...

Sorry yes you're right, that's a Kbin feature that's not on Lemmy.

I have a little star for me on lemmy.world if I hit the 3 dot 'more' settings on comments and it shows automatically on posts for me to save posts/comments.

Could be an instance specific setting?

Kbin was having trouble federating for a while there due to the traffic but the admin has fixed most of the issues so all is well now.

I still bounce between kbin.social and lemmy.world though cos why not!

Some people want to get away from Google services and tracking; having a non-Google OS can allow for that. 🙂

If you 'boost' a comment/post it saves it to your profile under 'boosts'. Though I just checked a post that I boosted and am getting a 503 error at the moment so might not be working right now?
