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.

Hackers' Pub, an ActivityPub-enabled social network, introduces a unique feature allowing users a one-time username change, a departure from the typical fediverse practice of permanent usernames. This policy acknowledges the evolving nature of personal identity, offering flexibility while maintaining network stability. When a username is changed, it becomes available for others, creating opportunities for new users to acquire desirable names. To prevent broken links, permalinks containing the original username will function until the username is claimed by someone else. This is made possible by using UUID-based actor URIs that don't include the username, unlike platforms like Mastodon where the username is embedded in the URI. Inspired by GitHub's username policy, Hackers' Pub aims to balance identity evolution with the benefits of federation. This approach allows users to correct initial username choices, evolve their online identity, and maintain their content history and social connections. This policy represents an experiment in fediverse identity management, testing whether flexibility can coexist with the stability required for federation, potentially influencing other platforms to adopt similar approaches.

I keep saying this: the Democratic Party needs to disband in a highly public way, leaving a void to be filled by leaders who can read the room, know what time it is, and understand the assignment.
We are here because the legacy party did none of that.

The Apple TV not being able to power off the tv via IR is so weird considering it can control volume via IR already. Like not everyone leaves their Apple TV on, so power on via CEC is kinda a slow way of doing that

Some of you asked me to put my videos into Patreon — so I've launched one.
ALL VIDEOS are available on the FREE tier, so you don't have to pay a thing. I'll probably do extra stuff for members in the coming weeks.
But if you prefer to get content via Patreon, there it is. 🙂

You're going to want to read today's story. Gives you a better sense of the people who most closely surround Musk. Here's the lede:
At 49, Branden Spikes isn't just one of the oldest technologists who has been involved in Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). As the current director of information technology at X/Twitter and an early hire at PayPal, Zip2, Tesla and SpaceX, Spikes is also among Musk's most loyal employees. Here's a closer look at this trusted Musk lieutenant, whose Russian ex-wife was once married to Elon's cousin.

Just published a post about Hackers' Pub's unique username change policy! Unlike most #fediverse platforms, they allow a one-time username change while preserving your connections and content history. It's all possible thanks to some clever #ActivityPub implementation using UUID-based actor URIs instead of username-based ones. If you're interested in trying it out, the platform is currently in invitation-only beta—check the post for details on how to request access!

it is NEVER a good idea to use spicy payment notes like "death to America", "Luigi every CEO", and so on, when donating to someone.
you could get them locked out of their account for any number of dubious reasons, and without recompense. PayPal, for example, is famous for closing accounts on the flimsiest of suspicion, and stealing the balance within.
just don't do it. either pretend it's to make up for a personal debt (e.g. by using a food emoji), or generically wish them well, or make up some nonsense words and reuse them for everyone.
edit: this includes promotion of anything unjustly illegal, e.g. "sex work is work". payment notes are NOT the place for advocacy. make no mistake, they are scanned for keywords.

355 small and mid-sized towns in the US now have AI-generated newsletter sites that appear to local. They make money by summarizing local news and adding ads.
Here’s the story of how investigating one such site led to discovering a whole network of doppelgängers with questionable practices.

I made way too many projects it seems 😇
I've added a new banner headline to the top of every page on my Web site:
"THERE'S A FASCIST COUP UNDERWAY IN THE USA!"
Here's what I've done, and why. If you control your own Web site or blog, consider doing likewise:
<blink>💾❓</blink>
Retired: 23 years Combat Arms (12B/92Y) US ARNG, 10 years Secondary Education (Teaching Science/Math), 35 years IT Guru (Programmer, DBA, SYSADM, Network Admin). Have a lifetime fishing license for my state. Addicted to good coffee (not a starbucks molten candy bar in a cup, just the real thing).
Active, sometimes, on Facebook (where family hangs) , MeWe.com (Fellow Linux, RPi, Android, and alternate OS fans), and LinuxQuestions.org (I think you can figure that one out).
I’m working my way through Mick Herron’s “Slow Horses” series, the basis of the AppleTV series of the same name.
His writing style is rich in detail and intricately plotted. I’m enjoying them immensely despite having watched the first three seasons, each corresponding to the first three novels.
Whenever I have new #pottery ready, I send an email to my subscribers. It’s a way for me to communicate with people who want to buy my work and it’s also a place to express myself in more than 500 characters since I like to write. I describe my process, explain the thoughts behind certain pieces, share my inspirations, etc. If you’d like to sign up, visit my website.
The lambada calculus.
They seem to want something…

#Introduction as my wife @kate has sent a bunch of people over here:
I’m Clare, 38, and a Youth Worker by trade though I don’t really talk about that here.
Instead I talk about my hobbies.
I run a D&D group every Sunday for local kids.
I read all sorts of books. Except horror because I’m a scaredy-cat.
I play a lot of lovely cozy video games and emotionally devastating story driven games (providing they don’t require skill)
I love cooking and crafting but I spend too much time sleeping
working on a little GUI for browsing crates.io. i've spent about a week on it and this is what i've got so far

@newyorktimesThe New York Times's veteran tech reporter 
@MarkoffJohn Markoff interviewed some of #TeamFediverse including 
@GargronEugen Rochko, @reckless1280 and our CEO 
@mikeMike McCue for a feature on the rise of decentralized social media. “It goes back to the original principles where the internet started out as decentralized,” Eugen Rochko told Markoff. Here's the full story [may be paywalled].
We're so excited to develop these conversations further at SXSW this weekend — check out the itinerary and sign up to join us at #FediverseHouse at the second link.
