Celestia is a wonderful piece of free software. Its absence from the usual software managers is baffling. Simulating an from any viewpoint is so easy!

It didn't take much before Livia discovered her own website. I am wondering what will happen when she'll visit it...

@john_fisherman just wait until she starts looking at and improving her own code.

@paulrickards thank you for this awesome plot.
Should I try it on my SX64?

@paulrickards I could write 1989 Block Out on it... just kidding, I don't want to risk ruining this beautiful plot!

I think the elephant in the room right now around is that it reflects a divergence away from creativity’s symbiotic relationship with technology.

For decades, creativity and technology made one another better. Now tech companies have found a new, cheaper hotness. And it could get ugly.

@ernie @tedium well written, Ernie. I felt every single word, very personally.

I'm a sucker for weird and esoteric tags, like these word squares someone has been writing in our neighborhood lately. Each square is a type of acrostic that can be read horizontally or vertically. For example:

T R U S T
R A N C H
U N D E R
S C E N E
T H R E E

A trash can where a tagger has written the words: mind, idea, neat, data
A section of sidewalk where a tagger has written a word square. This can be read horizontally or vertically and it says: Heart, ember, abuse, resin, trend.
A tag on the wall that says: feast, earth, armor, stone, threw. Each word is written above the other word in clear columns, so the words can be read vertically or horizontally.

@docpop Fun!

Some 20 years ago I wrote a program to generate all horizontal and vertical magic squares for a given word.

It didn't look for backward readings, because it limited the amount of combinations too much...

@Tekchip very cool! I sometimes wonder if I should give kickstarter a try for my own ePaper project...

@Tekchip Thanks for the encouragement! I'm a bit PTSDed from B2C, for the time being. I might try it when I feel brave.

Always nice when the security bug you encountered while migrating to a new hasn't been fixed since it was opened 3 years ago... 🤦‍♂️

@thunderbird hi there! I was not the original reporter. I'd be happy to help. I was going to reopen the issue on bugzilla, let me know if you prefer a different channel.

@thresfold Very nice! Congrats. Have you looked into convenient ways for people to buy these? That is, unless you are not interested in that.

@john_fisherman I wish it was. I was schooling myself on nuclear powered pacemakers and orphan radioactive sources.

@john_fisherman or the opposite of one. I was facepalming every bit of the way as I learned of the goiânia accident.

Now for a good nuclear super hero movie set in an unlikely place, please proceed watching "Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot".
