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.

This piece in particular:

> It gets most things right, but it consistently makes mistakes in the places that you are least likely to notice. In places where a person wouldn’t make a mistake. Your brain keeps trying to develop a theory of mind to predict its behavior but there’s no mind there, so it always behaves infuriatingly randomly.

Let me repeat:

> Your brain keeps trying to develop a theory of mind to predict its behavior but there’s no mind there

Chew on that

All of this is bubbling up into what will probably be a conference talk or blog post that is something along the lines of "For ten years I made the most obviously stupid language machines in the world and people consistently thought they were smarter than they really were, here's what I think that means for AI"

제가 가끔씩 고민하는 건, 전 무언가를 좋아하는 것에 대한 표현이 적은건가...? 입니다. 근데 따지고 보면 전 라이트하게 덕질하는데도 애정도가 깊단 말이죠...? 이게 다른 사람들 보기에 적어서 글치...
남들의 덕질 애정도가 70/100 이면 난 4/10 이런 건데.. 다들 나보고 그건 덕질이 아니래? 아니 총량 자체가 다른데...?

속상한 것보단 안 알아줘서 알못들아..!!!! 하는 루파지만... 연탐 가좍들아 이런 덕질도 나쁘지 않다고 도닥여줘...

It’s rare to see a talk that so effectively demonstrates not just the tools for performance analysis, but the approach that leads to good results. This is a talk I wish I’d thought to give, but Matt absolutely crushed it. Comfortably my favourite session of WWDC 25: developer.apple.com/videos/pla

Fediverse Report – #120

Fediforum happened this week, porting your social graph cross-protocol with Bounce, Bonfire gets closer to release, a prominent Lemmy server shuts down, and much more.

I also run a weekly newsletter, where you get all the articles I published this week directly in your inbox, as well as additional analysis. You can sign up right here, and get the next edition this Friday!

<form action="https://fediversereport.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=tnp&na=s" method="post" style="text-align: center"><input type="hidden" name="nr" value="minimal"><input type="hidden" name="nlang" value=""><input class="tnp-email" type="email" required name="ne" value="" placeholder="Email"><input class="tnp-submit" type="submit" value="Yep, I want to receive the newsletters" style=""></form>

FediForum and related announcements

The FediForum unconference was this week, with three days of sessions, keynotes and demos. The event was originally scheduled for April, but got cancelled at the last minute due to drama around transphobic statements made by one of the co-organisers. The individual in question left FediForum, and instead FediForum set up an advisory board with a number of community members. This edition of FediForum had keynotes for the first time, by ActivityPub co-creator Christine Lemmer-Webber, author Cory Doctorow, and Ian Forrester, who lead a Mastodon instance at the BBC. There were also a large number of demos (list here) and unconference sessions about a wide variety of subjects. I’ll write more about both the demos and the keynotes once the videos of them will become available online, likely next week.

Bounce is a newly-announced tool that allows people to migrate their social graph across protocols. It is made by A New Social, the organisation behind Bridgy Fed. The ability to port a social graph from AT Protocol to ActivityPub reshapes what is possible within the Open Social Web. For that reason, I think Bounce is a meaningful release, with its power mainly being in altering the shape of these networks. I wrote an essay on that this week that goes into the philosophical side of Bounce. For more practical information I can recommend this coverage by TechCrunch and The Verge. Meanwhile, A New Social’s CTO Ryan Barrett has shared all the updates and new features that have happened to Bridgy Fed over the recent months.

Music sharing platform Bandwagon shared more information during Fediforum on their development work, and how they are working on integrating album sales. A dev blog by Bandwagon recently shared their plans on adding a premium subscription, and how album sales work. During a Fediforum session, developer Ben Pate shared some screenshots on what this looks like. WeDistribute has a deep dive into Bandwagon and the current state of development based on the latest FediForum session.

Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform that has slowly been reaching the end of the line for development, and they announced the release candidate version of Bonfire 1.0. It is a framework and platform for building communities on the fediverse, and has a large variety of features and extensibility. One of the standout features is circles and boundaries. Circles allow users to define lists of accounts, and boundaries allows users to determine on a per-post basis to what circles each post gets shared. This creates a significant amount of flexibility on how to handle private posts, something which is in huge demand within the open social web. Bonfire also gives users a large amount of control over how they see and filter their feed. For more of a philosophical take on that, I recently wrote about how Bonfire’s approach on custom feeds compares to Bluesky’s approach. The developers are inviting people to install their own instance and experiment with the new features. It is unknown when Bonfire will be ready for a full 1.0 release. For another look at Bonfire, TechCrunch also covered the story.

Filmmaker and fediverse evangelist Elena Rossini has released her fediverse promotion video, which was highly anticipated by the community. The video can be viewed here, and tells the story of why the fediverse matters for a lay audience. The video is worth paying attention to for two reasons: first of all, it is a well-produced promo video for the fediverse that explains some of the core ideas in an accessible manner. Secondly, the video has gotten a huge amount of support from within the fediverse community, with a large number of prominent people within the community supporting Rossini’s work. One of the challenges of analysing a decentralised community is that there is no singular decentralised community, there are a wide variety of different groups and cultures. However, by seeing how and who responded positively to the video, it becomes clear that Rossini’s video does represent a dominant and popular understanding of what the fediverse is, and why it matters. In that way, analysing the video does provide good insight into the one of the more dominant and popular cultures of the fediverse.

Shutdown of Lemmy and opportunity for PieFed

Lemm.ee, one of the biggest Lemmy servers, is shutting down at the end of June. The team says: “The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.” This has some significant impact on the wider Threadiverse community, as the lemm.ee hosted a significant number of popular communities. This makes server shutdowns on Threadiverse platforms signficantly more impactful, as they also impact people who do not have an account on the platform. Community migration is challenging, and there are no specific tools to help with a community with migrating to a different server.

The shutdown of the Lemm.ee server provides an opportunity for PieFed, a link-aggregator platform similar to Lemmy. PieFed is over a year old, that has seen significant development and new features beyond Lemmy, but has not managed to gain traction yet, with growth of users being slow. However, now that communities on the lemm.ee. server need to find a new place, PieFed is emerging as one of the main destinations. In turn, this is giving PieFed some much need promotion and awareness within the Threadiverse community, with PieFed doubling the number of accounts within a week. Lemmy clients are also starting to add support for PieFed, with the Lemmy client Interstellar already supporting PieFed. PieFed also uploaded two PeerTube video walking through all the moderation and administration features the platform has.

Platform updates

Ghost’s work on implementing ActivityPub is getting close to an official release. In their latest update, Ghost said that their ActivityPub integration will be part of the Ghost 6.0 release, which will come in ‘a few weeks’. The team has been working on ActivityPub for over a year, and have grown from 3 people to 8 people now working on their social web integration. For Ghost, the ActivityPub integration is more than just another connector, describing it as ‘a statement that the open web still matters’.

Mastodon is planning to release a new update, version 4.4, with the first beta now available. Some of the new features include the ability to set more feature content on user profiles, more list and follow management tools. For admins, there are better tools for setting legal frameworks, moderation tweaks and more. The biggest feature of the patch is that it will display quoted posts. The highly requested feature will only be fully available in version 4.5, which will include the ability for users to create quoted posts. Mastodon CTO Renaud Chaput says that he expects version 4.4 to be released at the end of June, with version 4.5 scheduled a few months later in September of October. The organisation also shared their monthly engineering update for May.

PeerTube released their latest version, 7.2, with a new design for video management and publication pages. PeerTube also now has more features for handling sensitive content. Creators can now add an explanation of why the content is marked as sensitive. Users also have more flexibility with how they want sensitive content to be handled, with various different configurations between hiding, blurring or warning about a video with sensitive content. PeerTube is also running a crowdfunding campaign for the mobile app, which has now crossed the halfway mark at 35k EUR. This milestone is for video management from the mobile app, with the next milestone being for livestream support in-app. The PeerTube app developer also shared a blog post with his thoughts on the technical framework considerations for building the app.

Hollo is a single-user microblogging platform, and their latest release has a significant number of new features, including better OAuth and various upgrades to the UX. Developer Hong Minhee also announced that independent fediverse developer Emelia Smith will join as a co-maintainer for Hollo.

『게게게의 기타로 요괴 파일: 세계편』도 이어서 완독. 같은 시게루 요괴도감인데 이건 므큐 출판사에서 나왔네요. 주로 그림 작법서를 내는 곳인데 『크립티드 로드』도 여기서 나왔고…괴물책 출판에 뭔가 뜻이 있는 걸까요?
일본 요괴를 정리한 『요괴대도감』과는 달리 이쪽은 세계의 요괴(정령, 귀신, 환상동물 등등)를 다루는 책입니다. 제가 알기로 시게루가 정리한 세계의 요괴를 전부 담은 건 아니고, 아마 일부 발췌본이지 싶네요. 요즘은 세계 각국의 기담을 인터넷으로 찾아보기가 쉬우니까 자료집으로서의 가치는 아무래도 떨어지겠다고 생각했지만, 과연 미즈키 시게루라고나 할까요. 낯선 이야기들이 많이 담겨 있어서 읽는 재미가 괜찮습니다. 출처가 표기되지 않은 이야기라서 그 이상으로 써먹기는 아무래도 곤란합니다만.

이 의원은 11일 공개된 중앙일보와의 인터뷰에서 “대부분의 민주당 의원들조차 제명에 동의하지 않고 있다”며 이같이 말했다.

그 나이 먹고 상대방 면전에서 너 곧 짤릴 거라고 인성질하는 놈이 어딨냐 너같은 색히나 그러지ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

이런 놈들 마치 자기가 남들의 위선을 다 꿰뚫어보는 능력이 있는 것처럼 생각하는데 걍 사회성이 부족해서 상대방의 시그널을 자의적으로(보통은 지 좋을대로) 해석하기 때문에 소통오류가 났을 뿐인 경우가 많음ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

그런 건 생각해보면.. 컨텐츠나 플랫폼을 만드는 입장에선 깊게 생각해야 하는 게, 애초에 사람과 사람 간에 직접 싸움을 부추기는 시스템을 만든다는 것 자체가 나중의 사람들을 망칠 수 있는 걸텐데 너무 짧은 생각으로 '만들면 수익성이 나오겠지' 라는 말을 하니까 그걸 이용하는 고객은 사람으로 생각 조차 안 하는 것 같았음

약국에서 구매한 소화제 포장에 적힌 용법·용량을 보면 성인은 1정을 복용하라는 설명이 쓰여있다. 50㎏ 여성과 100㎏ 남성의 몸집은 두 배 가까이 차이 나는데, 모두가 한 알을 먹는 것이 최선일까?

성차의학은 생물학적·사회문화적 성별 차이가 건강과 질병에 미치는 영향을 확인하려는 연구 분야다. 의학계의 전통적인 접근 방식이 오랫동안 간과했던 ‘빈틈’을 포착한 비교적 신생 학문이다.
