“We want to avoid manipulation & speculation,” Díaz-Canel said in a news conference following his speech. The talks, he said, were still “in their first phase...to establish an agenda” that high-level groups of officials on both sides would address.

“We have to construct the space that lets us move forward,” he said.

The acknowledgment came in a publicly broadcast speech during a meeting in Havana of the top levels of the govt & Cuban #Communist Party. It confirmed widespread reports of recent secret meetings between senior #Trump admin officials & Cubans close to #RaúlCastro, the still-influential former president & party head.

I was bothered by it and wrote more about it: https://unsung.aresluna.org/not-a-mountain-but-not-a-molehill-either/

Ugh, Tahoe is so unpolished that if you press on any menu like this the pop-up contents that appear are misaligned…

…which doesn’t seem like much until you realize that if you click at the bottom, a click and release *without moving your mouse*, which was always 100% safe (and a way to “peek” into a menu to see what’s inside), can now accidentally change your option.

Do we need yet another person crashing out about Apple’s design decisions? Am I doing it only because it’s fashionable to be on Apple Design Hate Train these days? I’ll be honest: I don’t know. But I have been bothered by Apple’s approach to some of its keyboard design for a while.

Even if you don’t care about any of this, it might be a fun visual history of the most tricky of modern modifier keys: the [Fn] key. Hope you like it!

@zbrown @DarcMoughty @paige the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma teaches us that defect is dominant on the last round, or for any fixed length game. It's when you expect an indefinitely long or infinite series of games that cooperation emerges.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a difference

If you ask AI to rewrite the entirety of an open-source program, do you still need to abide by the original license? In philosophy, this problem is known as the Slop of Theseus

@clarissawam Well, we've been on here since 2019 😉 And just as active here – if not more, due to the more technical audience here.

We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 – Welcome to all our new followers here 😊

The world’s solar capacity reached 1,419 gigawatts in 2023, way beyond any predictions. 1 gigawatt = power for a medium sized city

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

Age Verification isn't a technical problem to solve. If you think that, you're missing the point.

It's a social problem used by authoritarian governments as an excuse for population control and censorship.

It's a fundamental attack on free speech and democracy.

It must not be accommodated.
It must be stopped.

@ROllerozxa

Now that I have moved from @ROllerozxa@fosstodon.org to here I should maybe do a new #introduction post.

My username is ROllerozxa, I'm from Gothenburg, Sweden. I'm a programmer and currently studying software engineering at university.

I'm the maintainer of the now open source physics-based sandbox game #Principia, but you may also know me from #BoxSmasher, my work on #Luanti (formerly #Minetest) or various other open source projects I have worked on.

Other than that I do other interesting things (blogging, archival, talking about the weather, eating soused herring, cuddling my Blåhaj, etc.)
