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.
Moving servers on the Fediverse should be as easy as moving between mobile providers — where all the people who had you in their contact list don't even know, and everything just works.
Another reference by 
@mikeMike McCue to ActivityPub as “a big sister protocol” to RSS #FediverseHouse

Amazingly, some of us remain capable of releasing research claims about software development activity data without tagging VCs, getting a massive media storm going about "ghost engineers," failing to show our analysis, and otherwise threatening the livelihoods of real human beings

This was a wonderful thing at #FediverseHouse - Sofia Kavlin / ArsPoetica gifted me a poem.
ooh, spicy.

Wow, @pluralisticCory Doctorow is on fire talking through enshittification - “platforms aren’t nice to you because you pay, they’re nice to you because they’re afraid of you.” #FediverseHouse

As usual I will be streaming on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/glyph_official/ tomorrow at 10AM US/Pacific (in about 21 hours). Once again I will be trying to get PINPal into a shippable state, and I think I *might* be running out of build tooling to fight, at least for the moment, so it might be time to design an icon and write a website

SaveTheAI has officially launched on the ground on 3 continents this past week 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇩🇪🇳🇱
🧶
Kicking things off, our Water posters are here to remind you that every sip you take, AI is watching, dehydrated because of the everyday choices we make 💧 Make better choices, skip a sip, #SaveTheAI with us today!
I've published KiCad and gerber files for the bonkmix module for anyone who wants to make their own: https://defaultmediatransmitter.com/the-bonkmix/
As an American Jew, let me be clear:
-Criticizing Israel is not being "antisemitic"
-Defending the human rights of Palestinians is not being pro-Hamas
-Arresting someone for these things is a violation of our 1st Amendment
-Violating 1st Amendment rights, and bragging there's more to come, is bad
I improved the layout of the https://dropserver.org/docs docs pages. It's no longer quite as embarrassing. I hand-coded it from scratch to force me to improve my HTML and CSS skills, which are a bit dated. Lots more to learn though!
Please click around and report any problems, thanks!
Tesla down 15%.
Now is the time to double down on protests.
The far right showed what they can do with Bud Light.
Let those who support LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, government workers, and diversity show what we can do with Tesla.
Those driving Teslas should be seen as collaborators.

Pinned post for the 2025 Spring #PostCardSwap!
If you match w/me, I enjoy postcards that include iconic or unique things about your location (for ex., natural wonders, landscapes, architecture, history, cultural celebrations, etc.)
I keep postcards I receive in a photo album/scrapbook, so I appreciate postcards that have the location name on the front (so I can easily recognize where it’s from w/o removing it). This is a plus, but not a must-have. :)
Please no insects, spiders, or snakes. 😬
One final post about #FediverseHouse before I close out.
Keen observers on mastodon.social may have noticed I jumped around and used different client apps throughout the event.
Special thanks to all the app developers out there making the fediverse fun!

@hamishcampbell@mastodon.social recently made a statement that got me thinking about our place in the open social web, and the direction it's going.
He says to @deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org and @evan@cosocial.ca re: SXSW
#FediverseHouse this feels like an irrelevant echo chamber, I really miss the grassroots #DIY that built this space in the first place. This #maistreaming is too much noise vs signal... currently the grassroots #DIY space is a hollow shell
(two posts combined)
That immediately got me on edge as someone new to ActivityPub in 2024. Does this mean I'm "mainstream", and somehow "bad"?
Mainstream adoption is good and a step in the right direction. I personally think ActivityPub isn't ready for general mainstream consumption, but we as a group are rapidly closing the gap and I'd much rather continue building momentum instead of waiting for the opportune moment.
Here's the hot take that I was going to originally write, but thought came off as too combative:
It sounds like you feel like ActivityPub development only counts when you're toiling away in obscurity.
As someone who's hacking away on a platform that hasn't been "mainstream" for over a decade (forum/BBS software), I bristle at the notion that what I do doesn't count as grassroots or DIY. You don't have to be the perpetual underdog to do good in the world.
I might be wrong, but it sounds like Hamish feels like big players are coming in and taking the ball away... that big players' clout and presence takes away from the attention that smaller DIY projects receive.
Maybe... but if the fediverse is 100x larger with a big player, and they take 99% of the eyeballs, have they really taken anything away from you?

Pretty fascinating look at how "Covid changed everything", in 30 charts.
"Decades from now, the pandemic will be visible in the historical data of nearly anything measurable today: an unmistakable spike, dip or jolt that officially began for Americans five years ago this week."
