What is Hackers' Pub?

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.

I really don't know how to keep saying this so cis people understand.

The Nazis in 1933 came for trans people. They burned our libraries to the ground. They raided and bombed our hospitals. They declared our existence illegal. And then they put us in concentration camps and gassed us.

The Nazis in 2025 came for trans people. They're burning our books. They're raiding and bombing our hospitals. They're declaring our existence illegal. And they're building concentration camps.

There's no fucking nuance here. There's no metaphor to be found. There's no allegory. There's no need to draw "similarities" between the Nazis then and the Nazis now, because it's the same people doing the same shit for the same reasons. It's not "similar". It's the same fucking thing.

And if you can't see that, if you've had blinders on for the last 92+ years, I just don't know how to fucking help you with that. If you think the Nazi attacks on trans people are somehow "recent", blame a Nazi, because Nazis are the reason you think that.

Some great points here about email newsletters โ€” including that email open stats are starting to become unreliable due to AI and big tech like Apple screwing around with the inbox (no, email is not immune to enshittification!). All this is part of why I moved away from calling my site Cybercultural a "newsletter". I'm not exactly sure how to define Cybercultural currently, but it will involve fediverse as a community-driver going forward.

I really appreciated the opportunity to take part in the first ever at . Online connections are good, and then IRL connections deepen the trust. Thanks to the @Flipboard team for getting it together (and @surf is looking excellent, nice work!). Thanks to @swfSocial Web Foundation for helping me to join the event. Many many individuals all made it a great in-person ideas jam. 2025 is looking strong for our communities.

The most underrated skill in tech engineering is the ability, or maybe the *willingness*, to be an idiot. Sometimes the best way to debug a problem is to forget everything you think you know and re-test the most basic things from ground zero. Sometimes the only way to design a good interface is to look at what you've made through eyes that have no idea what they're looking at. You know too much. Your users don't know anything. Be a user. If you can't be a user how can you make a thing users want

Often I complain about things in software and get baffled replies like, okay, but you can fix this arcane problem with [arcane solution], you know that right? And possibly I did know it but complain anyway because *I shouldn't have had to know it*. Your software shouldn't have needed a Theory of Operation. Your software shouldn't have required *learning*. Let me reserve my executive function for performing Useful Tasks and not like, configuring interface minutae. For a moment, let me be an idiot

@evanEvan Prodromou @damon meeting both of you has made my year. Iโ€™m not sure itโ€™s possible to accurately say how much this meant to me.

Sometimes, I kind of look at everything and get bogged down by some of the big problems we have yet to solve. I think our movement is very fragile at times, almost distressingly so. But, the energy I get from spending time with people like you makes it all worth it, and gives me an energy to keep going.

There were a lot of moments where I kind of just said to myself โ€œScrew whatever mundane thing I was doing before, I want to work with these people for the rest of my life.โ€

One of the terms we use when talking about the social web is "decentralisation".

I realised during the talks at that social networking is *already* decentralised; our data, our connections, and our attention are spread across a dozen social platforms.

We need RE-centralisation; I want my social networking experience to be centred on *me*. Starting with an account on a platform I choose, and radiating out to friends, family, neighbours and colleagues, communities, topics.
