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.

Absolute debasement of academic standards *student submits opinion in psych class *gets bad grade *instructor says she can make whatever arguments she wants but must draw on empirical sources *student & Turning Point says her religious freedom & first amendment rights violated *professor suspended

“One core difference between the fediverse and the AT Protocol seems to be that AT decouples many key building blocks – identity, moderation, ranking algorithms, even your own data to some degree – from your server. The fediverse, on the other hand, ties them all to your server and sees that as a desirable feature.” — @snarfed.orgRyan Barrett

This pathological payment pattern I can't wrap my head around why it exists, because it just happened with STRIPE, who should know better: 1) default method is expired and has failed, 2) add new method, charge goes through, 3) expired payment method is still default, fails next time.

🧵 A few months ago, my best friend told me about this idea about remaking Clue (the 1985 film) but with Muppets. She’d already scribbled some notes with characters, but I insisted that we fully develop this re-cast in a way that would be Correct to both the Muppet characters and the cult film. I rewatched the film myself, we collaborated in a shared note, let it simmer for a bit, then the other night we got high again and rewatched it together to validate (and tweak) our choices.

Malá nedělní zajímavost -

Kapky prince Ruperta

Jde o vědeckou kuriozitu nejméně ze 17. století. Vyrábí se kápnutím roztaveného skla do studené vody.

Hlavička vydrží údery kladiva i výstřel kulky menší ráže. Narušením tenkého konce se ovšem celá za milisekundu rozsype na prach.

"podcasting"? the only casting i need is my fishing line. the only streaming i need is the local river. my onlyfans are mounted to the dang ceiling. my web site is in the corner of my shed and my "net" is for catching tuna. the only vee-tuber i know is the weirdly shaped tater i grew last year

I understand why some creators, including myself, don't leave . However it's *vital* now more than ever to also make yourself a server. You need an accurate archive of your work that YOU control, even if no one watches it there. youtube.com/watch?v=MrwJgDHJJoE
