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.

Given my natural aversion to *usted* in Spanish and *vous* in French, I'm starting to think that out of consistency I should adopt the Quaker *thou* in English.

Unfortunately it's a tough bind because the Quakers originally adopted it out of a democratizing instinct — *thou* was the familiar second person and *you* the formal — but in the modern era it sounds archaic, making it sound MORE formal than *you*.

Also it's a very weird thinking to do.

This is a pretty interesting article about Quaker use of *thee* and *thou*: friendsjournal.org/2007098/

I knew about the general phenomenon and the justification, but I didn't realize that it had come full circle with some Quakers using thee as an informal register 😅

Also a culture war with proxy battles fought over pronouns sounds familiar 😂

TL;DR: Major insurers are seeking regulatory approval to exclude AI-related liabilities from corporate policies, citing concerns over the unpredictability of AI models’ outputs as too risky to insure. techcrunch.com/2025/11/23/ai-i ⚖️ 🤖

AI is too risky to insure, say people whose job is insuring risk | TechCrunch

Major insurers including AIG, Great American, and WR Berkley are asking U.S. regulators for permission to exclude AI-related liabilities from corporate policies. One underwriter describes the AI models’ outputs to the FT as "too much of a black box."

With all the fighting in the world over religion it is about time atheists become less apathetic and start knocking on doors spreading the word that sky fairies do not exist

The Apple Passwords app has the most infuriating bug, where the autofill dropdown for username / password is sorted in a different order than the one for 2FA/TOTP.

I don't understand how this slipped through. This is such a noticeable paper cut if you have two accounts for any website!!

Great update!

Now Nixbook will also include the SOF firmware and other chromebook tweaks to have audio work seemlessly.

Also some better config organization. Huge shout out to @chocolateloverrajRajas for the lionshare of work on this PR.

There are two kinds of "collections" in ActivityPub:

- Containers. These are basically objects that represent groups of other objects: threads, playlists and photo albums. ActivityPub clients can create, update and delete them.
- Views. These are generated on the fly by the server, can be paginated and filtered. Inbox and outbox are most common examples.

Both are supposed to be [Ordered]Collection objects with items property. However, in practice they are different. For example, it's reasonable to Update a playlist to change its name, but what an Update of a followers collection would mean?

Usually, I argue that containers and views shouldn't be mixed. Don't add items to your thread/playlist/album, create a separate collection instead.

Are there other options?

@mariusormarius How do you deal with this problem in GoActivityPub?

I just finished the Pepper&Carrot new page for sharing our Fonts!
A decade ago, libre comic fonts were hard to find, especially with good accent support. So, translators, contributors and I edited and maintained our own to fill the gap.

Check them out: peppercarrot.com/en/fonts/inde

Fonts - Pepper&Carrot

Official homepage of Pepper&Carrot, a free(libre) and open-source webcomic about Pepper, a young witch and her cat, Carrot. They live in a fantasy universe of potions, magic, and creatures.
