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.

More interesting angle to your question, maybe why asked, is to "reimagine forums" in our new age of social networking.

Yesterday I had a discussion about blocks.githubnext.com "Reimagine repositories". Great ideation starting point. What is a repository actually? Container of a solution? Or .. what?

Maybe a forum is single-person software, attached to the social graph of the social web? Tapping into activity streams and knowledge bases. To 'slice' our personalized community views?

@smallcircles@social.coop personally, I feel that asking people to post or continue a discussion on another platform is a roadblock that shouldn't need to exist.

You can't do it on Discourse, but in NodeBB you can "categorize" a topic, even if it came from the microblog-fedi. Similarly to how you can import a reply tree into another Mastodon instance. That's the difference, that the software should support something like this, although I get that that's not always important to every piece of software. Discourse does technically support two-way federation, replies are sent and received, but it primarily broadcasts content. You can't currently browse fedi from Discourse.

Things get a little more confusing if a topic is already categorized, like a Lemmy/Piefed post in a community, so I expect some of that to change in the coming months.

End of the day it would look something like "cross-posting" as currently exists on the threadiverse.

My cousin seems to think my fears about Pierre Pollieve taking away women's rights and building concentration camps are overblown. I reminded her that Trump is literally sending US citizens to concentrations camps. No due process, nothing.

Her response?

"They can't just take people off the street. There must be a reason they are taking them."

And this my friends, is how Nazi Germany happened.

Over 350 academic historians have signed an open letter condemning “attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community” from the Labour government.
Published on Friday (2 May), the open letter expresses significant concerns over the government’s treatment of trans issues following a UK Supreme Court ruling which excludes people from the legal definitions of women and sex in the 2010 Equality Act.

New instance, new introduction!

I am curious about many things, and wish I had the time to practice everything, but some of the activities that have consistently been bringing joy to me are: baking bread and pastries, long-distance hiking, programming, folding paper, juggling, learning things, and listening to people talking about their passions!

For a living, I work in academia, currently as a post-doctoral researcher at Inria. I am using mathematical modeling, Bayesian statistics and scientific computing to solve biological problems usually involving bacteria.

I wish I could not care about politics, but I feel compelled to act and express my opinions by the state of the world. I am deeply appalled and terrified about the ongoing environmental and social emergencies. I am still trying to figure out how to best act in order to be the most helpful on these fronts.

I strongly believe in the Commons: public services, open access and open source, and I am involved in the development of several scientific open source packages, hoping that this is an effective way to use my skills and energy to help improve the world.

I have been on Mastodon for a couple of years now and I really like it here, thank you for having me 😊 ❤️

Early bits of of look how, I created one in one instance (verifiedby.maho.dev) for @lqdev and it got decentralized/federated to other instance (badges.vocalcat.com)

So, badges are coming to the .

In a technical note, I am using notes (so it gets published to mastodon), but adding the badge as "attachment" which is in the spec. Tried document type before, but it does not render in Mastodon. I am going to work in supporting openbadges as activitypub attachments as well, so you can bring your existing openbadges to the fediverse.

RH|広末涼子公式サイト

“広末本人はもちろん私たち周囲も、本人の不調や苦しみを「体調不良」といった言葉で済ませてしまっていたことを、今回の事案を通じて深く反省しております。”

これは重要なステートメントですね。これを機会に有名無名に関わらず、本人、周囲ともに体調や性格のせいにせずメンタルヘルスにも目を向ける社会的な合意形成に少しでも繋がると良いなと思う。

One thing I appreciate about the only Discord I routinely participate in is that I can post a picture of the asparagus I bought at the grocery store and everyone just follows up with: “PEEEEEEEEE.”

客観的に物事を分析する知識があると主張して、「災害や事故は一定数起こるのだから仕方がない」などと言ったり、合理的に考えていると主張する人がいますが、そのような発言は社会や個人にとって何の利益にもならないので、合理的ではありません。

"Unfortunately, it’s much easier to improve technical skills than personal skills – the key is, as Dan points out, to make sure you’re consciously choosing situations that exercise your interpersonal skills. Like most developers, I’m an introvert, so I have to actively force myself into those situations that I would ordinarily avoid." blog.codinghorror.com/being-te

Are you in your 50s? Does your shoulder blade hurt all of a sudden for no discernible reason? You might be entitled to a large cash award from God, if she exists, for designing a stupid stupid creature that just breaks because of fucking whatever. Join my class action suit now.
