Because Voyager 1 is so far from Earth, it takes almost 23 hours for a command to reach it at the speed of light, and the same for a response to reach us back, for a total of close to 50 hours.
Which means that interactions with Voyager 1, currently around 15 billion miles away, are still faster than many Microsoft Windows updates.
v0.3 of Heffalump (a Mastodon client for PalmOS) is out now! This release (finally) adds the ability to view your own past toots, as well as replies (to both your own and others' toots).

It is completely normal politics in #Israel today to be openly rejoicing the burning of #Gaza and its people.
Dozens of civilians are dead in the videos. We can see it all. Charred bodies of men and women, headless babies. The screams of Palestinians being burned alive. Israelis are watching these videos and celebrating.
They’re all available on Twitter. I won’t share them.
Tweet by @NaksBilal Israelis are celebrating the massacre in Rafah tonight on Telegram. Emojis of glee "the main lighting this year, in Rafah!" — demons.
Israel bombed Rafah in southern Gaza over 60 times in 48 hours, ignoring the International Court of Justice orders to stop its military operations there.
Israel bombed displaced Palestinians in tents, killing over 30 Palestinians, including children.
The scenes coming out of Rafah are horrific, resembling a massacre.
Israel steps up genocide in Gaza, in defiance of international law & global condemnation. USA continues to supply weapons and finance to support slaughter of unarmed, homeless civilians.
I am curious if the "announcment" feature Mastodon admins have access to is actually useful.
I suspect many people never see them. I think I've only ever seen it displayed in the "official" mastodon web UI. And never in any of the (many) apps I use.
More and more websites have anti-adblock measures these days, some going so far as to tell you to uninstall your ad blocker altogether. I understand the impulse, but you are basically telling your users to meaningfully reduce their security for your benefit.
How to play: Write something, Use the HashTag, Toot/Post and Repeat!
Hint: Think of a book, movie, tv, song, poem, etc character and is there anything they should apologize for and to whom?
