I've used all these configurations in my #Worldbuilding way back 2003/2004. The Lagrangian points and yes, even the Epimetheus–Janus configuration (Saturn's dancing moons).

It's easier to learn which configurations will work because of modern simulation software available today, one such is "Universe Sandbox ²" (paid software). There are many science fiction authors today who used this software to write a very convincing story grounded on hard science.

I thought this was an old feature when I encountered this yesterday.

Google is rolling out fingerprint login for Google services for both Android and Chrome for Android browser users.

According to the article, Google said fingerprint data are not sent to Google servers, it stays in the phone. Which was basically my worry.

Could this become the next "in thing" in apps and web logins? Would you take advantage of it?

Verizon sold #Tumblr to Automattic. Will the #Wordpress owner bring back the original Tumblr, or are they only after the devs and the source code?

Or, maybe, they'll later open-source Tumblr and add those in WordPress core or as a plugin?

Something to watch out. What do you think?

I used to use #JuiceSSH #Android app for my SSH needs. But since the last update was June 2017, I searched for a new one.

So far I'm satisfied with #Termux, no root required. Termux is also available in the #Fdroid repository, which is a plus.

Of the many Lite apps available in the #Philippines Google Play Store, only Twitter Lite, LinkedIn Lite, Firefox Lite, Line Lite, & Spotify Lite, are useful.

The rest lack basic features.
