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.

I started fretting/posting about this in January and blogged about it in February:

erinkissane.com/against-entrop

I hoped, then, that an existing org would pick up the hammer and MAKE THE THING that I thought needs making, but no one quite did. Hundreds of people are tracking data, which is vital, and think tanks are out there thinking online for a readership other experts. Movement orgs are movementing. But this middle layer of durable knowledge wasn't happening.

Turns out some old (and new) friends were feeling the same way, so we got a crew together from the Old Days and we spun up a collective, got fiscal hosting with Raft Foundation (badasses!), and spent a couple of months building processes and testing ways to work and things to make, and now we're up:

unbreaking.org

We started with three pages we've been using to test and build our collaborative processes:

Equality at Work (part one): unbreaking.org/issues/equality

I don't think it's possible to be where we are in (and in the global authoritarian slide) without our information ecosystems being such a mess.

There's a ton of work to do on the distribution side of the problem, but also on the info-making side: Even great newsrooms aren't built to make the kind of knowledge we need in this moment, bc what they make are endless streams of atomized stories.

And we ordinary people are all out here in the feeds trying to piece it together in our heads.

It was at about this time 10 years ago, on Saturday, 23 May, when I burst into uncontrollable tears in a packed pub on the corner of Parliament St in Dublin

The official result of the marriage equality referendum had just been announced on TV - I had led the Dublin South Central constituency campaign, and months of effort, exhaustion, emotion, and relief erupted from within me

Ireland said Yes

Do you use to edit files in a repo?

If yes, you might enjoy this: github.com/emacsmirror/git-tim

(use-package git-timemachine
:ensure t
:config
(global-set-key (kbd "s-g") 'git-timemachine)
)

That means I can press windows-g to see the previous commit of the file I have open in my emacs buffer, and then "p" for earlier commits, or "n" for later commits, and then "q" to go back to the file I have opened.

I started living in public transit cities late in life and it's really funny/frustrating how public transit flops so hard from gifting an incredible feeling of freedom to just being a source of fear and stress based solely on whether the arrival schedule is reliable
