Nice! Are tanks spawned at the last picked location? I picked my hometown as I wanted to demolish a friend's house, and I was surprised to find 2 tanks there (it's a random small city in Europe).
I also have the bug where it keeps respawning me to the starting point after ~30 seconds

I keep working on my command line game 'Rebels in the sky' (https://rebels.frittura.org)
The game is about spacepirates playing basketball, it's kinda a basketball manager game. It's played in your terminal and works with no internet.
You can try it via ssh at `ssh frittura.org -p 3788`

I love working on the terminal and this looks great, but can I ask why do you require to sign in? To be that's a bit of a downer :(

I am working for a while on a command line game about spacepirates playing basketball across the galaxy. The game is a basketball managerial game with some pirate-y stuff. It's a P2P game with no central server, built on top of libp2p.
It runs as a terminal application, meaning that you just need to run it from your terminal, but you can try the game over ssh without installing: `ssh frittura.org -p 3788`

The piece is about something else, cases when 1 + 1 + 1 ≡ 1 but 1 + 1 != 0

My family is from Sicily, and I remember taking this train every year when I was a kid. After several years, I took it again last summer and was bufflled at how inefficient the whole ordeal was... Basically you have to wait for the train wagons to be detached and reassembled on the other side, you easily waste a couple hours.
Now, I don't really mind this, it's a bit of a tradition if you want, but I asked a relative of mine who used to work for the Italian national train company, and he told me that this train works like this cause in the past all the Sicilian migrants would travel with a lot of luggage, and it would be very impractical for them to transfer all of that twice. Nowadays this is not really the case anymore.

The physics paper has been published on a predatory 'open-access' journal, where basically you can pay to publish whatever (ref: https://blog.cabells.com/2021/07/07/no-signs-of-slowing/, look for scirp).
I gave a diagonal reading, it uses the right jargon somehow. They add some new components to the Einstein-Hilbert action they say originate from quantum complexity contributions, to be honest seems completely random, but i'm not an expert. Especially the conclusions look like they have been written with AI.
The 10 citations are almost all self-citing: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=2388097775195172652...

I agree with that comment. Experts can be wrong, of course, but the null hypothesis is that their opinion is 'more correct' than that of a science journalist.
As an aside, nobody really believed the earth was flat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_flat_Earth.

True, I can see your public key, username, and IP I guess. I only log the username and hash of the public key/password that I use for storing save files (the logs are for debugging, but I swear I don't sell them to google). You can see what I do in the source, of course you have to trust me on that :)

I used the pixel planet generator to generate low resolution gifs, which I then combine together to get the galaxy gifs

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it. Have you tried this link: https://streamable.com/huxiwr ?
I know VHS, only problem is that that demo is a bit involved to properly script it..
