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.

So the story is, my wife, who’s British, was having a chocolate chip cookie with her tea. She took a bite and didn’t like it, so she gave it to me. As soon as I took a bite, a third of it collapsed into my lap. I didn’t know it had been pre dipped 🫠

I am also not a 'fan' of Discord or anything related to it - but if it works for others - let them use it as they like - I just do not have to engage in that.

I am also not 'fan' of Live Webinars - like literally 'locking' my time to watch somethings live - just big fat NOPE from my side.

I would love to see a recording of a webinar after it happened - in my own pace - often downloading it from YouTube or other place - so I can skip to any place I feel 'instantly' - to not waste time.

... not to mention that I prefer written Articles/Posts with comments/replies above everything else.

I got these wool dryer balls on a whim because soot sprites are awesome and when I pull my towels out of the dryer I was so grateful to past me for injecting some whimsy into the day.

Yes, that lack of punctuation was intentional.

Looking straight down on a laundry basket filled with towels and three black spheres with giant white eyes looking up at the camera. One is bundled in the corner under a towel, eyes cautious and low. Another is openly exposed in another corner staring blankly upward in surprise. The third is in the middle, peeking out from under a fold of light green towel, nervous but curious.

If the precedent gets set that the president can remove nonprofit status from anyone he disagrees with, then any Democratic president in the future that allows the ADF and heritage and megachurches to be considered nonprofits is explicitly endorsing them.

First, they came for the right to walk in the street, and grandpa said nothing, for he had a car, a job with the state DOT, and a few blocks of sidewalk on which to walk his dog.

After that, nobody could hear you protest over the noise of car traffic.

uspol, video, we're beyond a constitutional crisis

The Emergency Is Here youtube.com/live/JN1oBfg0fwI

A good video which explains that we're not *approaching* a constitutional crisis, we are deep into one. We have to treat it as a crisis, right now.

We have a new Technical Steering Committee (TSC)!

Welcome core maintainers Ema (@ematipicoEmanuele Stoppa), Florian, and Matt (@ascorbicMatt Kane) to the Astro TSC to guide Astro's technical direction and ensure a healthy codebase for many years to come.

We're also excited to announce Matt stepping into the role of framework team lead alongside @sarah11918Sarah Rainsberger (current docs team lead)! 🤘

Read the full post for all the nerdy OSS governance details:

Did you know that the default video file size limit on is 99 MB per post?

For comparison, has a 50 MB limit per post up to 60 seconds long and has a 50 MB limit PER DAY (unless you give Andrew Torba money).

This larger limit allows me to post this brilliant scene from The Matrix Reloaded in its entirety :matrix_code:

PS. You can also change the video thumbnail which is awesome :doge_cool:

@mattMatt Campbell this is really the only thing I am looking for from the accessibility community more broadly: accessibility has big costs! It also has big benefits but we are so used to criticizing billion-dollar corporations who are saving like 0.01% on their gross margins by being shit at accessibility that we use the same language to confront people whose entire budget (in time, money, or both) would be immediately destroyed by even a cursory accessibility effort

@glyph Yes, when it comes to visual media in particular, I'm aware that, for example, when I watch a movie that has an audio description track, the only reason we're able to enjoy that is because the likes of Disney can easily afford that extra work. The same goes for accessibility in video games; the big studios can afford to put extra work into accessibility, but indie developers often can't, depending on the kind of game.

- Render automatically generated post excerpts (used when no explicit description is set in frontmatter) as HTML instead of raw markdown on list pages (index, tags, archives).

If I understand right then the post description on the home page should have the markdown rendered in html ? If so using pandoc I still see the stars and other markdown stuff and no html formatting ???

Hey Stefano, I was just browsing through the themes of BSSG and I noticed that some stutter quite significantly while scrolling and also cause a huge spike in CPU load, while others are buttery smooth.

Win7 is an example that at least on my machine stutters pretty badly:

bssg.dragas.net/example/win7/

Any idea why this could be? Is there too much CSS stuff going on?

There are just too many awful things happening in the world, all at once. And in between everything else, the horrors in go on and on. Each of these deaths a total tragedy.

More meaningfully: Bluesky is using "Delegated Verification," which means we will give verify power to orgs in the app. It turns out, there are multiple institutions in the world who are equipped to verify identities, and a rich online society should depend on them instead of 1 big social corp
