[Image description: Two-Dimensional Ball-Eater is standing on top of a larger-than-themself pile of clementines. They say to astonished-looking Spock "Look, my love, I got a bunch of clementines. They are ball-shaped. Me eat balls. Ergo, me eat all these clementines!" ]
Yeah, I guess anything more complex or supposedly useful would need some sort of redundancy for robustness. The easiest way I can think of to reduce data degradation is to enlarge the data array enormously so that the bit flipping is less likely to hit the meaningful data, but that of course is not completely secure.

[Image description: Text box: "The Chamber of Tortoise Politicians, Hell:"
Agent 1028 is leading a group consisting of Catopus and Tortoise Newstortoise, and says "So, this is where all our politicians come after they die." Catopus says "My favorite bar is nearby. They serve the most authentic cocktail of boiling blood and piss" to which Newstortoise comments "Freak". ]

[Image description: Blasphemous B. Bible is carrying a bottled soul on their horns and says to the zombie of Captain Yrjö-Koskinen "I bring gifts from Hell! The soul and the sewer demon you asked for. I left the demon outside as he smells like sewer". The zombie answers "Hurgl...", translated as "Diabolism may be the highest stage of capitalism, but our diabolism is different!" ]
I had a quite Star Trekky dream last night. In it, I wanted to give a signed print of The Tortoise Webcomic strip #1 to the actor Ethan Peck. He then recognized the comic as something I had been sending to him for review. He hesitated to comment, unsure how to say what he thought. When I asked him to put it like Spock would, he said "Scientifically speaking, this is the bullshittiest bullshit I have ever seen". I bursted out laughing, and explained that it is really funny that he hasn't seen any worse bullshit than my comic, and that it is funny to get such feedback from a celebrity. He was then hurrying to leave, but to be sure I could tell the story right, I asked him for his name (even though I did remember it, which is weird, because awake I wouldn't have), which made him be even angrier while he left. Then I went to tell the story to several TNG actors/characters. I was distracted by attacking klingons, whom I sedated with a vulcan neck pinch. However, the last one of them had too tall shoulders so I couldn't do it to him. Then I woke up.

[Image description: Spock arrives to find professor Altort Einstoise flipped upside down. Spock asks "Professor, are you okay?" The professors says "I was moist with my own mustard..." Spock corrects them: "You mean 'hoist with my own petard'". "Is that how it goes?", the professors asks. ]

[Image description: Text box: "The Tortoise President holds tightly onto the control over the nation. Or do they?"
Tortoise President is lying upside down behind a box labveled "Control over the nation", wearing an upside down hat for upside down situations. On the other side of the box, Blasphemous B. Bible arrives, saying "Tortoise President, I bring the greetings of Hell... What the hell has happened here?" The president answers "I was taking an official nap and then woke up like this. Please help!" ]

[Image description: Catopus is talking with an angel; a pile of eyes with six wings and a halo. The angel says "Do not be afraid!" as a greeting, as it is the only thing it can say in Tortuguese. Catopus says (in cyrillic script with multiocular O's) "Hello! We would like to acquire one of your hairs". The angel answers, in similar manner, "You buy three barrels of snake oil, you also get one hair".]

[Image description: A whole-panel text box: "As you know, the vast majority of tortoises is non-Christian. However, due to the long history of cultural imperialism, many of them still celebrate Christmas or some related tradition. Here's what some members of the TSS Anthropic Principle polycule have to say about the topic." ]

[Image description: Spock is lying upside down. Captain Yrjö-Koskinen is floating in the air next to them. Spock says "Help me Captain, I am Spock. Err, I mean stuck!" The Captain says "I can't, I have no physical body." To this, Spock says "Use the force!" The Captain says "Nah, can't be bothered. I'll tell A Horse to help you."
Text box: "Of course, Spock could use their malleable limbs to help themself. However, that would be cheating." ]

[Image description: Music: Ta-da-da-da-daa - The Tortoise News!
Tortoise Newstortoise is interviewing the Tortoise President and says "Good evening from the Tortoise News. The Tortoise President has reappeared, and agreed to an exclusive one-question interview. So, Mx. President, where were you?"
The President answers "I was... umm... on a very secret and urgent diplomatic mission to... ummm... Juan. Yes. But do not worry, citizens, the horse is still on the balcony. Also, now that I am back, I will put an end to all this revolutionary nonsense!", to which Newstortoise says "Thank you, Prez." ]
Andre Geim got the Ig Nobel for this. He is the only person this far to have got both the Ig Nobel and an actual Nobel prize.
Well, Python is my main programming language, so things being made with it gives me a feeling that I can understand and control them. Sometimes this feeling is even right, for example with Qtile, which is also configured with Python.
Qtile, just because it's Python-based.
Thamk you!
Reading also the earlier strips might help with that. (Unless your problem is specifically with the last panel punchline. That's just about different interpretations of the word "how".) Anyway, thanks for reading!
Xonsh. For basic use (running CLI programs with arguments) it works like any other shell, and for other uses it has nice Python syntax (and libraries!). For example, I like not needing a separate calculator program, as I can do maths directly in the shell with an intuitive syntax.
I like Terminator for its mouse-controlled multiplexing. I also like the fact that it's made with Python, although I haven't utilized this fact in practice.
I'll start with Shiofaioth:
Fuin huomo, aokae lie-laik-duei mas uin toroic kuin uin poulaiseir, bue-ecoidae-duei faelid dai opia, daet hui toroic soe-baisen-xoai iroitedaefa hein touras huic poulaiseir-ki duil Rio Hudson.
I don't know what Nitter is, but I think bird.makeup might be what you are looking for.
And of course another thing is to change the direction of code interpretation as often as possible. That's why the example codes are written in a zigzag manner.
