Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.
Everyone is all up in arms about systemd and age verification.
It's not that big of a deal. You simply email a photo of your passport to Lennart. He'll reply with a code to unlock your computer.
the pressure from social media worked. In systemd, age verification has finally been reverted and removed for good. Linux is always for privacy conscious users, it isn't just another Microslop SlopOS https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41179 thanks 
@reddy_1975Radek 🐧 for the heads up!
I’ll raise a quiet glass to Robert Mueller here. In the public mind, he was first the messianic savior of democracy and then an emblem of inadequacy and institutional failure — and both those visions did him a disservice.
He tried to do the right thing in a principled way. His effort failed, and we’ve paid dearly for that failure. The failure was his, but also all of ours to share: for every ones of his choices that I can second-guess, I can name half a dozen places where others failed to hold up their/our end of the bargain, took the work he handed off and dropped it flat.
He failed, but he tried his damndest — and that’s more than I can say for a lot of folks in the USA over the last 10 years.

This was many years ago but i once worked with this front end dev, guy named Jake. He was a kind of an odd fellow. Real lanky dude, didn't talk much. And normally he wasn't the greatest programmer, a bit sloppy.

I still don't understand why my Peano calculator is getting so little traffic. Is it because there's no mobile app? Or do I need to make a physical version and start selling it?
Btw, for Ghostling (libghostty demo), I didn't write a single line of... anything. Agents wrote 100% of everything you see incl. Nix flakes, CI jobs, etc. I reviewed every line of code manually and constantly nudged the agents in the right direction. I used a mix of Opus+Codex.
I went from empty repo to functional terminal that could run Neovim with keyboard, mouse events in ~80 minutes. Pretty sweet.
Note: libghostty itself is of course heavily hand written (with agent assistance all over too, though). I'm just talking about Ghostling itself.
Even for CI setup (GitHub actions), I had the agent sit in a `gh` CLI loop watching failures, fixing, pushing, fixing, pushing, etc. Doing GHA with agents are the only way I stay sane, honestly.
I just re-read the full main.c from top to bottom and I'm very satisfied. I would've done some things differently but if an engineer I worked with PRed all this, I would've accepted it. Its good enough.
Some people have pointed out the commenting is over the top and indicative of AI. This is actually my personal comment style, and I told the agent to comment heavily (its even in the AGENTS.md, look for yourself!). Anyone who has worked with me professionally or in OSS knows that I comment everything all the time.

Het zijn uiteindelijk negatieve externaliteiten: met de aankoop van proprietary software van een monopolie wordt de samenleving schade toegebracht.
Voor de negatieve externaliteiten van fossiele brandstoffen vinden we het inmiddels logisch dat daar belasting op wordt geheven.
De transitie naar digitale autonomie zou ook moeten worden gefinancierd met een belasting op de software waar we van af moeten.
It was lovely and sunny today, so we all went to the Westbury White Horse for a walk – the dogs approved of the view, ignored the history, and hunted lots of real and imaginary things in the tall grass. 🌿
So, an interesting issue came up in the #Fedify repo that I've been thinking about: #629.
You know how every #fediverse server uses schema:PropertyValue in actor attachment for profile metadata fields (like “Website”, “GitHub”, etc.)? Turns out, strict #AS2 validators like browser.pub reject it, because the AS2 spec says attachment should only contain Object or Link—and PropertyValue is a schema.org type, not an Activity Streams 2.0 type.
The thing is, we can't just drop the type like we did with Endpoints (#576), because Mastodon and others rely on seeing "type": "PropertyValue" to render profile fields. But at the same time, it's technically not spec-compliant.
I'm leaning towards writing a #FEP to formalize this existing practice rather than trying to invent a new type (like toot:PropertyValue extending Object), which would be a nightmare to migrate across the whole fediverse.
What do you all think? Has anyone else run into this? Would love to hear thoughts from implementers and spec folks.

POSIX compatibility

![### there are lots of Unix shells
- dash
- bash
- sh
- zsh
- fish
- csh
- tcsh
- ksh
you can find out your user's default shell by running:
`$ echo $SHELL`
### POSIX is a standard that defines how Unix shells should work
sh, dash, bash, zsh, and ksh, all represented by little boxes with smiley faces: if your script sticks to POSIX, we'll all run it the same way! (mostly [smiley face])
fish: I don't care about POSIX
### some shells have extra features
bash, zsh, and ksh: we have extra features that aren't in POSIX
sh and dash: we keep it simple & just do what POSIX says
### on most systems, /bin/sh only supports POSIX features
smiling stick figure with short curly hair: if your script has `#!/bin/sh` at the top, don't use bash-only features in it!
### some people write all their scripts to follow POSIX
smiling stick figure with straight chin length hair: I only use POSIX features
smiling stick figure with short curly hair, labelled "me": I use lots of bash-only features!

A quick anti-FUD FAQ to debunk "the KDE is forcing systemd!" hoax—a thread 🧵
Q: Does the Plasma Login Manager require systemd to work?
A: Yes.
Q: So you ARE forcing Plasma users to use systemd!!?!?!
A: No. The Plasma Login Manager is one of probably half a dozen Login Managers (or more) that can boot Plasma. We made PLM because it will give distro creators a cool piece of kit that can (not "must", not "should": *can*) be tacked onto a system to boot into Plasma.

LLM coding assistants didn't create a split between craft-lovers and make-it-go developers. They revealed one that was always there.
For craft-lovers, what's being bypassed isn't the output but the act itself. Marx called this separation from the act of production. But the alienation isn't coming from the LLM. It's coming from a market that penalizes whoever produces output more slowly.

Descend.
A small set of people are merging changes to various Linux components to make sure every application knows your birth date.
This is being done rapidly by people with questionable justifications and being merged with no youth and few marginalized people involved.
In case anyone is unclear, since I hear he's also campaigning on this Linux age-gating trash:
Bryan Lunduke is a fascist hatemonger. He represents the absolute worst in free software and I believe he should be ostracized from any and all parts of our community. He wants software freedom for himself and in the abstract but despises individuals expressing their freedom. He believes in a software freedom that is hollowed out and missing love.
Friends! Suppose you were going to be in Paris for 8 days this June, with a spouse and a 14yo. What are some lesser known or not obvious things you would plan to do? Any recommendations? I mean besides the standard stuff like the Louvre, Catacombs, etc.
