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.

Stakeholders often focus on “how many” when presented qualitative research. Which is the wrong question to ask.
Qualitative is about understanding the H (human) in HCI. The goal is to understand why they behave like that. When presenting research results: focus on showing clear patterns, supporting findings with evidence like quotes or observations, and connecting everything back to user behaviors and business goals, not sample sizes.

mstdn.jpのメディアサーバがアクセス不能になっている件、管理者にコンタクトをとって状況を確認してみたよ。

ざっくりいうと、AWSの内部監査チームに止められてて初日から解決に向けて交渉中だが時間がかかっている、ということでした。

公式アナウンスするよう促しておきましたので、そのうち『お知らせ』に掲載されると思います。

なお、5年前の閉鎖記事が広まっていますが、その後、現在運営しているSujitechが引き継いで解決したもので、現在の話ではありません。

勘違いしている人がたくさんいるので、見かけたら声をかけてあげてくださいね。

Fellow single user instance customers of @mastohost - how much media storage space are you using? I only follow about 325 accounts and I'm already using more than 11GB of my 20GB storage. I can upgrade if needed but it just seems to be going up and up (there is an automatic purge in place I think after 7 days).

I'm sorry for the Fosstodon drama. Fosstodon was my second fedi server and there I had a lot of FOSS fun: nice people, good moderators, good topics. I left when my radicalized vision of how world was changing, also thanks to digital/software/tech stuff/hype, became too much abstracted from the "yes but huh, I do not care, any foss is good and that's all" vibe of the instance. But hey, it was me.

The Fosstodon story is another example of how our expectations of fedi aren't aligned with reality. It's not a matter of moderators, server policies, who's federated with whom. It's simply that when a group of people grows beyond a certain number (I think it's in the hundreds not in the thousands), more drama ensues and more often jerks prevail.

In short: it's not the medium, it's the people. Or people dynamics, if you want to feel less harsh. Hidden behind their keyboards, people are jerks when they have the chance. Every bar, getting bigger and bigger, is on the verge to become a jerks bar and maybe then a nazi bar. It just needs someone to become a catalyst for stupidity.

The difference between fedi and corpo social networks is that fedi doesn't want drama: it's divisive and burns moderators out. Corpo socials crave drama because it's engagement. And there are no moderators or nice corpo people to protect.

That's why any debate about "how can fedi win?" makes no sense, for me. If winning is copying the techbros and aiming to get bigger, we have ample proof that bigger instances will gradually become a mess of spam, jerks, bots, misinfo and drama and then - if below a critical self-sustainable mass - collapse. Instances even bigger, will stay the mess they've become. Thinking "oh but this time it's different, we're different" is naive.

In real life, we're praising the beauty of local communities and of communities of interest, and the value of real interactions in smaller groups. This is also a value fedi should underline: bigger is not better, smaller has much more appeal. But, again, it's me.

'모나드는 모노이드 엔도펑터다'가 이제 무슨 뜻인지는 안다. '모노이드'라는게 >>= 보다는 join을 쓸때 더 와닿는데, >>=join보다 한 30배는 더 자주 쓴다. 그래서 저 사실을 평소에 잘 느끼고 살진 못하는거 같다. 하지만 가끔 join으로 타입을 눌러서 맞출때 개꿀따리란 생각이 들긴하다.

A palm oil company is gearing up to expand into critical orangutan habitat in Indonesian Borneo, raising alarms over the survival of the critically endangered great apes.

PT Equator Sumber Rezeki is part of Jakarta-based First Borneo Group, which is currently one of the most active deforesters in Indonesia’s palm oil industry. ESR recently started clearing forest inside its 15,000-hectare concession in West Kalimantan province.

@openrisk
> If anything ever replaces it in a future of even more connectivity it will be a more "real time" protocol

Like XMPP or Matrix?

@smallcirclesjust small circles 🕊
> we somehow ended up modeling only existing Social Media esp. Microblogging. That is weird.

Not really. It was the simplest target for a proof of concept, and lots of people already understand it as a medium. I imagine the Matrix folks picked text chat for similar reasons.

@strypey

Was thinking more of streaming protocols. Messaging sits somewhere in between I suppose.

The interesting dimension here is how much semantic metadata content is needed / exchanged. With activitypub I think people will eventually come to realise that this is one of its killer features 🤓. It enables slow, meaningful exchanges full of extra info, context, provenance, further links etc. As the data volume of the channel goes up (audio, video) this becomes less important

最近經常會看到有些人問GPT問題,覺得來推廣一下知識,如果有錯歡迎糾正或補充

希望各位有問題問GPT,不要直接相信他的答案,要去查證,個人覺得GPT的可信程度跟Wiki差不多

GPT說的東西只是根據機率去生成的內容,他會有AI幻覺,他不知道自己在說什麼,而且會討好使用者

K오픈소스라… TS에서 map이나 groupBy 같은 함수들을 체이닝해주는 라이브러리가 있는데 맛도리라서 놀랐고 한국 기업에서 만든 라이브러리라서 더 놀랐던

대구 삼덕동에 위치한 '수평적관계' 에 왔어요.

꽤나 오래 된 한정식집이 폐업 한 뒤 그대로 오픈하여서, 마치 양옥을 연상시키는 구조로 로스터리 / 브루잉 / 카페 공간이 분리되어있는게 재밌었어요. 중정이 넓게 위치한것도 좋았고요.

커피와 소통이라는 매개체로 서로의 장벽은 낮아지고 취향의 폭은 넓어지는 수평적인 관계를 지향한다는 의미에서 '수평적관계' 라는 이름을 지었다고 해요.

hi Mastodoners and Lurkers,

time for an introduction: my name is Clara and i mostly make websites.

I like thinking about (web) interfaces (/not only/) and coding them. Recently I joined OSP (Open Source Publishing) where I savor learning open source tools and discovering what it means to be part of a collective.

I nurture an affection for (daily) low tech, (passionate) (clumsy) (off-screen) practices, books, (daily) poetry and meditative gestures.

excited to join yall here, bisous! 💋
