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.
Told y'all we were cooking.
Say hello to Conjured Ink ( https://conjured.ink ): an #IndieWeb-based, #decentralized ecosystem of shops networked together to resist the kind of nonsense Itch and Steam have been dealing with.
We're a collective designing and building the software needed for folks who aren't techies to basically self host without feeling like they're self-hosting. Because you shouldn't need to be a sysadmin to free yourself from this yoke.
Join us!
My quest at #fedicon2025 is to find #Fediverse services and handles with non-Latin characters. Can you link me to examples?
I hear there are many #Japan ese people active in Fediverse, but all the examples I see have only Latin script. #Unicode #Fedicon #Mastodon #UniversalAcceptance
Ben Pate from Emissary / Bandwagon is talking about the future of the #Fediverse!
NodeBB’s embrace of #ActivityPub has given it the capability for members on individual message boards to subscribe to sections of other forums. Architecturally, forum sections work very similarly to how Lemmy communities do.
Easy. That is called the Sue Ellen.

미국 대학원 터질날이 얼마 안남은 모양인데 이제 인턴이나 신입 뽑을때 음청나겠구만 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ... 1) 중국이나 다른 나라에서 바로 데려오거나 2) 기업이 직접 펀딩을 줘야할텐데 그럴수 있는 기업이나 대학은 얼마 없겠지요... 지금 블랙회사도 각 사업부마다 연구비로 일정퍼센트 얼마씩 뜯어가는데 디게 싫어함 ㅎㅎㅎ...

yesterday i was listening to a reggaeton song that poses a problem: “baby, your ass doesn’t fit in the club. what do we do?” and i love the solution-oriented lyrics, lots of context, kinda great. what a fun problem to have.

One of my professors at the Leiden summer school told me something interesting. Historically, many linguistics textbooks and papers have been physically published in Leiden, often featuring ancient or minority writing systems. Before the digital typesetting era, typesetters in Leiden were *contractually obligated* not to learn any rare writing systems or languages, and to work purely by verifying that the typeset text looked visually identical to the submitted manuscript. This is because when you *can* read it, you're inevitably going to transcribe what you think you read, not what you actually read, which is a big problem when the entire point is to showcase exactly what ancient people did write and not what we think they should have written

To see the output from when your computer started, run dmesg(8). If it has
been replaced with other messages, look at /var/run/dmesg.boot.

Another day, another conversation with the press team where I explain that I did not give the quote in that story and the whole thing is AI slop. This happens once every few weeks now.

Quite envious of everyone at #fedicon this weekend. Reading peoples' posts and watching from afar. I'm so glad these conversations are happening.
One of the reasons I have been a strong advocate for the use of persistent digital identifiers, especially ORCIDs, is because they facilitate trust in authorship while simultaneously supporting the personal life decisions of authors to change their name. #openscience 
@eLife
There’s two general ways of trying to get all the replies in a conversation tree: crawling up and down the reply tree, and Conversational Contexts. The first is pretty good, the second is a more comprehensive approach where the metadata of the conversation accounts for responses. You can use both together.
