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.

In a future of friendly and digitization, we don't only need free/libre software, but also fairly produced and open hardware to operate the systems.

The German non-profit computer mouse manufacturer "Nager IT" needs human resources for a new future. If you can and want to support them, check out nager-it.de/maus/uebergabe#:~: (German only). There is a meeting in a few hours.

It would be great to keep the project alive and have more of the resources available under open licenses.

This is a core system app interrupting you, promoting a sale by a movie-ticketing company, to push you to go see the platform vendor’s new movie.

Why not just pop up random ads all the time, always creating new channels that everyone’s opted-into by default so you can never keep up with opting out of them all?

Oh wait, that’s already what happens.

Apple’s as bad as everyone else. They don’t respect their customers — we’re fodder.

They truly have no standards anymore.

Immer wenn bestimmte Personengruppen als Risiko inszeniert werden, sollten wir aufmerksam sein. Erst waren (und sind) es Geflüchtete, die als Risiko dargestellt wurden. Mittlerweile ist eine weitere Gruppe dazugekommen: Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen.

Die Innenminister:innen wollen mehr Datenaustausch zwischen Gesundheits- und Polizeibehörden und gefährden damit nicht nur die psychische Gesundheit von Betroffenen:

Every so often you see a letter in a local paper that just pisses you off so much - "climate is always changing" and "we have no idea about temperature" - that you feel forced to respond. And in this case, I was not alone. From the Islington Tribune, complete with both @ed_hawkins and a plot of temperature from Tamino's Open Mind. (My letter, slightly shortened is in the Alt Text)

"It is sad to read Patrick Burke’s letter in which he takes the fatalistic view that “the climate always fluctuates”. He believes that past changes are utterly mysterious and that temperature records go back “only a few hundred years”.
Nothing is further from the truth. We have excellent records of both temperature and atmospheric composition from ice cores that go back 800,000 years. The role of the atmosphere in determining planetary temperature has been known since 1827, that of carbon dioxide since the late 1850s; our understanding has improved enormously in the time since. 
The last few thousand years are the period in which human civilisations flourished, when natural variation in climate was extremely small - about half a degree  (see attached picture). By contrast, since the end of the 19th century, temperatures have risen by about 1.5 ˚C and continue to head upwards.
The glaciers Mr Burke shrugs about are the source of stable year-round drinking and irrigation water for billions of people in Europe, South and East Asia. Aside from the disruption to food supplies if rivers start running dry for part of the year (the recent behaviour of the Po, the Rhone and the Rhine in Europe being cases in point), melting ice adds to sea level rise to which London is not immune.
None of us like the idea of climate change, but whether we like it or not, the climate of our youth is gone forever. It is a wise man that plans for the future. Mr Burke’s complacency is all too common.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

@tomTom Casavant @andypiper yes and no. important to distinguish here what politicians are saying and what theyre doing.

calls for digital autonomy are much louder now, and much more politicians are talking about it. however, trump being so aggressive in starting (trade) wars have made actual enforcement against big tech much less likely. much riskier now to enforce DSA and give meta a 1 billion dollar fine when theres a real risk that will result in even higher tariffs on the entire EU as retaliation

교수님들이 어차피 가르칠 때도 몇년 전 자료로 대충대충하고, 리포트도 학생들이 AI써서 대충대충 해오고, 채점도 AI가 대충 읽고-_- 한다면 과연 굳이 비싼 학비 내서 대학 가는게 의미가 있냐는 한탄을 봤습니다. 게다가 가봤자 비슷비슷한 출신 환경의 친구들 밖에 못 만난다면요. 다만 전반적인 문해력, 특히 디지털 세상에 맞는 리터러시, 반지성주의의 물결에서 살아남을 수 있는 지적 소양 이런게 크게 이슈가 될 것 같고요.

요즘 마인크래프트 유튜브는 고퀄 양산형이 유행인 것 같음
깔삼한 편집 기술, 플레이 영상이 아닌 해설 위주
해외 대형 유튜브의 DIY 영상을 보는 것 같은 구성
문제는 난 플레이 영상이 위주이면서, 과하지 않은 편집을 원한다는 거임
플레이 중 목소리보다 해설이 더 많은 것 같음

Just ditched because they've started promoting "AI'.

yes, I can disable the "summaries" for myself; and if others want to (explicitly) request expensive word salad for whatever reason, that's their call, arguably;

but it's making that destructive stuff a DEFAULT that I take exception with.

우리 사회에서 "극우와의 공존" 아이디어에 대해, 선망(亡)국 미국에서 시도했다가 이미 망한 전례를 들어 슬로우뉴스 기사로 몇마디. 지연 없는 단호함의 중요성, 극우 개념의 간단 교통정리 및 오늘날 발흥한 버전의 조건, 병으로 치자면 식단조절이 필요한 초기가 아니라 수술치료 해야하는 3기, 단호한 대처의 미디어쪽 적용 방안, 이준석 지지라는 증세, 등등 전에 블스에 남긴 노트들의 확장 풀버전 같은 것. "함께 살아야 할 건 사람이지 극우라는 사상은 아니다." slownews.kr/139409

Poll: Assuming you have no plans to leave the house that day ... at what percentage of battery level on your primary mobile device do you start to get uncomfortable, and think you should charge it?

Assume you will not have access to a charger or external power pack while away (If you do end up having to leave).

(If your number is somewhere in between, choose the next lower number)

(Please RT to improve sample size.)
