What is Hackers' Pub?

Input on the English language:

In Danish we have a term called the "not test”, and we sometimes say about a political view, that it does not pass the not test, if no one would take the opposite view.

For instance, if a politician campaigns on wanting children to live happy lives, we may say, “it does not pass the not test", because no candidate is running on NOT wanting children to live happy lives.

Is there an established English term for such a "not test”?

NEW EPISODE, NEW SEASON: What if we saw digital autonomy and bodily autonomy as two sides of the same coin, inseparable?

There is no (explicit or implicit) Emperor, Shahanshah, or God-King of the Fediverse.

You don't wait for permission to affect the Fediverse. You just do it.

Want a new app? Create it.
Want a new protocol. Implement it.
Want a new UX? Design it.
Etc.

Don't have the skills yourself — advocate for it with people who do.

24 hours is definitely the worst session duration.

If you're going to make people sign in to a work tool every day make the session duration ~16 hours so they have to sign in the first time they interact with the thing.

This always sounds so threatening.

my problem with social media is that it's just a fantasy world and completely removed from my day to day world and also you're all bots.

I usually think the embassy should not comment on the resident country's domestic politics but in this case I feel so terrible and ashamed to have KMT as part of our politic party #VEday

Fediverse Report – #115

PeerTube has a new update for their mobile app, the Mastodon team is growing, and more.

The News

• PeerTube has officially launched their apps as a v1, some four months after the apps became available in beta. Some new features include the ability to log in with an existing PeerTube account (up until now you’d log in with a local account that only existed in the app itself), commenting from the app, and playlist and channel management options.

• Mastodon announced some updates on how their team is evolving. The organisation is currently in the process of setting up a Foundation in Europe. Mastodon is also growing their team, and the organisation now consists of 15 employees. Mastodon’s news update is a followup on their announcement from January 2025, in which Mastodon said that current CEO Eugen Rochko would step down. A new CEO has not been announced yet by Mastodon. In the previous update, Mastodon also said that they would need a €5 million annual operating budget. There are some new team members related to fundraising, but Mastodon has not made a clear statement yet on how exactly they will raise the money needed for this budget.

• Evan Prodromou of the Social Web Foundation has published a first version of places.pub. It is a service that “makes OpenStreetMap geographical data available as ActivityPub objects.” The goal is for other fediverse software to integrate with places.pub to have a standardised way to refer to geospatial objects via ActivityPub.

• A follow-up on last week’s news regarding the Fosstodon server: the server administration will be taken over, with an update and introduction by the new admin here.

The Links

• A recommendation algorithm for PeerTube videos. It is a browser extension that records your PeerTube viewing history, and uses that to generate recommendations to watch.
• PieFed development updates for April.
• The fediverse statistics site FediDB is getting an update, and can now be self-hosted as well.
• Talking Protocols With Evan Prodromou – FediHost Podcast.
• How To Make Your Mastodon Feed More Algorithmic – FediHost Tutorial.
• Ghost now gives blog authors the ability to block users.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:
