"You don't know that you need it, but when you use it once then you do"
@Lioh talks in a very nice @gnulinux podcast episode about her experience of running a tiling window manager with SXMO on the Pocophone F1 and using it as full featured, hackable, real Linux computer in pocket format! 🐧
A 6-fold mandala of a poppy seed capsule, an 8-fold mandala of goldfish and a 16-fold mandala of reflections on water mixed together into a square (p1) kaleidoscope.
My recording function still drops parts of the recorded video so I have to guess the correct length for a perfect loop. But after 17 tries, this one seems to be good.
@fink Noodling around with shapes and colours, no coding (enough of that at work). This one is lots of grouped equilateral triangles, in a pattern inspired by work by Robert Fathauer. I drew it with @girih (this is a most excellent place to start) and post processed it in Affinity Photo.
@thisismyglasgow@UndisScot I love the tiles in the tenements. It is funny to observe that they frequently become sparser/less ornate and one assumes less expensive the further you get from the main entrance though..
@crispytoats Good observation. The inner composite is a truncated heptagon (so irregular 14-gon), and the outer one is the thing being dissected (the cake doesn't count as one of the pieces of cake) - however, still a valid point and I appreciate you took the time to look for extra heptagons! 🏆
꧁⚠️꧂ New 10.5.5 #tiling just dropped!
It's based on chunks of 4 10gons(it is inspired by ðe cairo 5gon tiling),
moving to 1 of ðe 5 closest 10gons takes 2 steps wiðin ðe chunk & 3 when leaving
ðere's also ðese quirky 5gon worms inside ðe rest of ðe structure 🥴 (unfortunately ðey have an 11θ 5gon ruining ðe symmetry)
@monkeyben@jvseem That question has been raised a few times. I think they were were mostly made after the arsenic green had been phased out in the mid-1860s. However, I've not had the guts to test this by licking a few broken tiles! 🙂
@thisismyglasgow@monkeyben@jvseem my niece used to live up a close in Craigton which had similar tiles and someone got them tested and found there was no arsenic
