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 seeing reports that GenderGP is expanding operations to provide "services" in the USA as well, so as someone who has spent a non-trivial amount of time using said services, I would like to say real quick...

DO NOT GET YOUR HORMONES FROM THESE EXPLOITATIVE SERVICE-SLOPPIFYING VULTURES.

This has been a public service announcement from Dot Maetrix

you know, i keep building infrastructure like i have some sort of a curse on me. and i keep hoping that someone, somewhere, would do this already so i don't have to

but instead what i see are services that i _thought_ i could maybe use as a backup if another service fucked me over, themselves getting into the "fucking me over" category

and the infrastructure i build becomes a necessity rather than a frivolity

So there was this really great Youtube video that came out over the weekend about why a lot of modern movies just don't feel "real" anymore and generally kind of look terrible.

Anyhow in other news I just saw the trailer for the live action Moana remake.

생각해보면 음악과 동영상은 몇번이고 코덱이 바뀌었는데 이미지는 여전히 jpeg이군... 그만큼 뛰어난 알고리즘이긴 하다. 장당 용량이 굳이 줄여야 할 정도로 크지 않은 점도 있지만.
