		rwos on July 30, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: ASCII Google Streetview What a nice way to find out that my rather old Thinkpad (on Debian testing) now has WebGL support - I only updated everything from time to time, and apparently stuff actually started working. Great! Great hack, too. I really, really want that thing as a screensaver!

I Agree, this would be a most excellent screensaver. Very impressive stuff indeed. If it run in VT220 I'd be starting a new religion on your behalf.

Be aware that this eats CPU (and probably GPU) and thus battery like mad. I cannot imagine it being a good screensaver.
