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.
Saying No and refusing to use unethical tools and platforms can be a powerful way to protest.
Do not minimize the power you have in refusing to participate.

was volunteering for something recently and I get a “do you give permission to add your number to a WhatsApp group”, so there it’s an easy reply of “hell no”. If they need me on a messaging app (which is doubtful when they can just email me), they can find something better. At the very least it makes the person who made the (Google) form be aware there is better too.
“이야기꾼은 입에서 입으로 전해진 기억이라는 이름 없는 유산을 이용하는데 여기서 개별 사건은 ‘인생의 의미’에 대해 무엇인가를 말해준다. ‘인생의 의미’란 무엇일까? 그것은 우리가 다른 사람들의 삶에서만 포착할 수 있는 무엇으로, 그 삶들은 서사 대상이 되기 위해 죽음으로 완성되고 봉인되어 우리 앞에 제시된다.” (Calvino, 2022, p. 264)#이탈로칼비노

At the end of the day, I'm realizing that more and more of my job is spotting the areas where people have subtly different understandings of a given thing, specifically around things like policy, process, or other "I thought Team X wanted me to do The Thing like this, but apparently I'm supposed to do it like that?"
GenAI just doesn't help with this. If anything, that work of spotting those subtle things that require clarification, and then pushing as needed for people to clarify what it is they want or need, is the antithesis of how genAI functions.
So, proobably a big part of what makes me so frustrated about genAI adoption is that it's part of its underlying, fundamental architecture that it can and will introduce subtle incorrectness or just ambiguity, when I've come to realize that so much of my work is exactly spotting and clarifying those subtle issues and ambiguity that can result in so much wasted effort or work.

Boost if you'd like to be left behind and would consider paying extra for a life without this bullshit.

Joscha Bach, der hier einen Zivilisationsbruch nach dem nächsten im Austausch mit seinem Geldgeber Jeffrey Epstein macht, spricht dieses Jahr _wieder mal_ auf dem Chaos Communication Congress btw #39c3
EDIT: Scheint gerade aus der Planung rausgenommen worden zu sein. Evtl. wars jetzt sogar dem CCC zu viel (Dokumentierte Deals mit Epstein als der schon verurteilt war hat ja nicht gereicht)

Went down to our nearby beach. Wind and drizzle but took some photos and collected some sea trash... Mainly wrapping plastic, some bottle caps and parts of ropes and fishing nets.
now for some tea and some apple crumble...
Very cool project. System.css is a pure CSS library for UIs resembling Apple System OS between 1984–1991, specifically System 6 which was final monochrome Mac OS. It uses no JavaScript and is customizable.
After replying to an e-mail in the bugs@openbsd.org mailing list regarding the borked bootup, Theo de Raadt replied and confirmed that a snapshot went out without the commit for the ABI break, and it was replaced by a newer snapshot that did have it. He recommended updating using a miniroot snapshot.
Downloaded the latest miniroot78 snapshot from an #OpenBSD mirror, brewed some water for my mate as the miniroot78 snapshot image written to a USB drive, and then booted from it on the laptop. Update went through wonderfully and I'm back to a booting OpenBSD system. 🧉

Der Pipeline von "KI" Forscher zu Rassentheoretikern und Eugenikern ist leider extrem ausgebaut.
Wäre doch ne schöne Gelegenheit für den #39c3 dazu jetzt nen Talk reinzuschieben: "Why the fuck are all these AI bros racist eugenicists?" Das ist ja kein Zufall sondern das hat System und innere Logik.

I’ll just leave this here. But let me put it this way. My landlord wouldn't approve of making such changes to his property that is only rented for a limited time.
