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.

Just saw a story about people who make and eat ‘human kibble’.

It’s so far out of my realm of understanding, culturally and socially, to see food as a drag, and something to minimize and productivize.

But I understand that not everyone has access to food as a pathway to connecting with people, culture, community, migrant pasts and shared history.

Food to me is experiencing the world through someone else’s tastes, sharing a table with people I have never met, being fed by random aunties who love to cook for strangers; and of course all of the shared joy of participating in food-based rituals in the cultures I enjoy being a part of.

Hey folks! I use sendowl.com for fulfillment of my ebook and audiobook sales, and they've just raised my monthly fee from $39 to >$200, which consumes more than 100% of my margin.

Does anyone have PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with an alternative service they would recommend (VERY MUCH NOT looking for hearsay here - just people with their own stores who like their e-asset delivery partner).

Not new (2023), but this exemplifies Apple’s culture of arrogance and entitlement.

By their logic, the local electric company “facilitates” a large portion of my Apple-device use. They should claim that they created the platform that lets Apple devices exist, and demand a third of their revenue.

What about my ISP? Cellular provider? Router manufacturer? The wires in my walls? The pizza place down the street, for fueling my body as I type?

Institutional delusion.

A novel written in a kind of medieval-y "realistic fantasy" setting with a plot point that a day's ride from the town, deep in the desert, is a field of one thousand mirrors which a lost ancient civilization built for some unknown reason and laid out in a grid pattern. One character is obsessed with figuring out why. The mirrors face the rising sun— did they worship the sun? Is it devotional? Were they trying to show the sun to itself?

one thing zsh has that I wish fish had too is this `path` array that you can use to set `PATH`, like this:

path=(
$path
~/.cargo/bin
~/bin
)

really feels like the "right" interface for setting PATH
