Good morning. Starlink has now launched more than TEN THOUSAND satellites into orbit. Nearly 1400 have already been burned up in the atmosphere so far.
Here's a "lovely" image from my Kuiper Belt discovery program with dozens of satellite streaks in a 3 hour stacked exposure from CFHT. This was from 2022, when there were thousands fewer satellites... This is dumb.

(The small streaks that are similar lengths are actually asteroids!)
There should automatically be an entry. If not, you can create the desktop file[1] yourself, set `Exec=flatpak run ...` and other fields like the name. Then put it in an appropriate folder (probably ~/.local/share/applications). Depending on what you use to list applications, you might need to update some database.
@frcl Not a lot of physics and some more outreach focused, but here are some:
Terence Tao: @tao
John Carlos Baez: @johncarlosbaez
Matt Henderson: @matthen2
Katie Mack: @AstroKatie
Steven Strogatz: @stevenstrogatz
@Garrett That's probably also a good position to mention the application for topological superconductors. There the sign of T² is important for classifying systems (the "tenfold way", see [1] or even @johncarlosbaez blog[2]).
Three symmetries are important here, time reversal T, particle hole C and chiral S, which is the combination of the two (the name of the operators differ sometimes).
