Another photo from a walk at the weekend. I love these Scots Pines found as a little copse at the top of a hill. It makes me think of the 100 acres wood from Winnie-the-Pooh, maybe the 6 pine trees? #photography #nature #trees

Out in the woods on a very foggy day. The moss and lichen looked like they were glowing. #Mosstodon

@latenightlinux I think you guys are the reason I'm trying out KDE. I wasn't intending to do this, but it appears I may have completely recreated my MATE set up, with top and bottom panels, and almost every keyboard shortcut, and panel widget identical. But that's what KDE is about I'm told! I'm […]

@SmartmanApps Does 3-1¾ = 1¼ or = 2¾? Most people might say the former, but implied addition should really be treated with the same precedence as regular operators, and evaluated left-to-right. So the correct answer is actually 2¾! It's OK if you got this wrong, because the way it is written is […]

I just gave an HHC 2025 presentation and demonstration of Nonpareil II, my work--in-progress microcode-level HP calculator simulator, now written in C++20 using the Qt6 toolkit. Compared to the original, it uses vector graphics for smooth scaling over a wide range of window sizes. #hhc2025 #rpn […]

A calculator you would approve of @SmartmanApps ! This might be one of my favourite algebraic #calculators, but then I was always a fan of Sharps. @calculators

Does anyone know if you can launch an application on one workspace in #kde, and switch to another workspace while it is opening, with the application then still appearing in the original workspace? Or for that matter does anyone know of a desktop environment (linux, windows, mac, bsd anything!) […]

Got Julia running on my phone again :) #julia

I found a kewl compact long-period clock for Minecraft redstone yesterday, but calculating the settings to get the period I wanted was a pain. With a bit of HTML, CSS, and JS and an unknown amount of my evening, I am now +1 period calculator for said clock […]

Does anyone think AI will evolve empathy? Animals evolved it, presumably to their evolutionary advantage. I haven't heard of current AI attempting to recreate the limbic system yet. Just thinking we might be reliant on the empathy of AI in the future for survival. #ai

After stealing copyrighted works for #llm #ai training from journalists, writers and everybody else who produces text for years in what amounts to probably the biggest thefts of such works in history, #openai now complains that #deepseek might have used its “intellectual property”.

I think I nearly sprained my thumb trying to turn up the volume in my car. It's a stupid touch thing with haptic feedback. I think I realise what's going on: I give the instruction to my thumb to press until it feels a click, but if it doesn't, cue thumb versus steering wheel with escalating […]
