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'm currently discovering graphite and started a discussion thread with me whining about papercuts and missing features. The devs love it and even asked me to just make a bullet list and dump ideas.

Hm could this become my inkscape replacement? 👀

my home internet has gotten *incredibly* flaky over the past week or so, and like Comcast is coming out to look at it but

holy shit people,

all y’all devs doing anything with network connections, “who needs downloadable docs?”, etc, with your fiber gigabit that never goes down need to spend a bit of time somewhere where the connection is spotty

Practically no one is handling this well. Net goes down? BAM lost everything you were doing. Offline docs? Who’s offline anymore?

the state of Instant Messaging in 2025:

  • have you gotten nitro yet? please?? come on, we even give you 1-day trials if you're doing some quests :3
  • have you gotten premium yet? please :twitter_pleading_face:​ oh and we let problematic people and governments thrive on our platform if you don't mind :3
  • the ones who accidentally leaked your phone number for a while (during the initial introductory phase of usernames, that has since been patched now) while also limiting you to 5 paired devices, while also requiring a working camera on the old(!!) device when you're transferring chats on iOS
  • *** DecryptionError: Unable to decrypt complaints about this messenger. ***
  • get a bouncer or you're out of luck (in terms of message history).
  • you'd have to trust a bunch of nerds to keep the servers up and running (and we won't save chat history unless you're using a specific version of a specific client for one specific protocol, otherwise you're out of luck).
  • look, we took email and turned that into an IM! isn't that great? :3 oh and you should look into setting up our own email server solution (or just use our own servers) instead of using your already-existing mail server since those might rate-limit you heavily-
  • get an iDevice or you're out.
  • get an Android phone or you're out.
  • throw money at us for a one-time purchase tied to either apple, google or our own licensing system (you can't transfer between them at all!) or you're out. oh and we're not that open source either.

IMs who haven't made it onto the list: XMPP, Revolt, Polyphony

"Tyranny of Tyranny" really fails to criticise "Tyranny of Structurelessness" in any successful way.

it touches on some potential good points but doesn't nail anything down and feels confused and vague at times, and in some ways proves it RIGHT

that's not to say that a successful critique can't be done, but this isn't it

Just a reminder to the people who have been on Mastodon or the Fediverse awhile: remember to follow some new people every once in a while, especially someone with few followers who would just like to connect and be heard by someone. It’s easy to get caught in our routines, but there are new, kind, interesting people joining everyday.

this generalizes, automating things is hard not because doing things with machines is hard (though it is), but because doing things with machines at anywhere near the speed and accuracy of a human is *incredibly* hard. everyone loves to meme about people being bad drivers, or shitty at x or y, but do you know how many people drive every single day, and how few of them have accidents. it's absolutely absurd. with better training and assistance it's even harder to beat
