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.

It’s once again, where we share stories from independent newsrooms and journalists, plus one or two from our editorial desks. We have two equally good, but very different pieces about the perils of confidence, a fantastic @ProPublica interview with Abigail Dillen (president of Earthjustice), about the new hostility towards environmentalists, a sobering story about deaths in custody in Texas, and a guide to boycotts. We’ve also got our own idea about who should buy Fyre Festival, and a helpful reminder about the importance of gratitude. We’re grateful for independent media — check out the thread, comment, like, follow their accounts and subscribe to their publications. ⤵️

🌶️ Fedi hot take 🌶️​

I saw several toots posted in the past 24 hours that said: "yeah, Bluesky was down, but the same thing could have happened to mastodon.social, home of 15% of accounts on the Fediverse."

You know what I did when mastodon.social went down? (I remember it happened a couple of months ago during a routine upgrade)

Well, when the INSTANCE mastodon.social went down, I simply switched to my GoToSocial account and checked out from there what people were posting. Maybe I even logged onto my Pixelfed account.

People on Bluesky couldn't do something like that because Bluesky is FULLY CENTRALIZED.

You can't compare apples and oranges.

End of my hot take sorry if I have offended friends who are super enthusiastic about Bluesky, but I can't just politely nod and stay silent. Bluesky enthusiasts, please read up about the fable of the Scorpion and the Frog: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog

I want the Open Social Web to succeed... but I will always give the side eye to Bluesky and Threads. Sorry not sorry.

On a more positive note: I just wrote about some new projects I'll start soon to promote the Fediverse: https://elenarossini.com/2025/04/my-fedi-activism-q2-2025-edition/

is Tusky still the best app for ?

I chose it ages ago when some people thought it was better than the official app.

I ask now because I notice the web ui renders some `code` properly but the Tusky doesn't

myself I value good UX/UI so happy to have a less functional but more pleasant app

In this week's Developer Voices, Andrew Lamb takes us through , exploring how this toolkit shaves years off the prospect of creating a custom database. Fascinating stuff for any data and architecture fans like me. 😁
