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.

A lot of people are resistant to any kind of business uses for the , but consider this:

- While most of us here are rightfully scornful of , the notion of a "market economy" is not going to go away. There are innumerable small to midsized businesses in the world who _aren't_ like the Capitalists we know and loathe - they haven't established any monopolies, they haven't managed regulatory capture, and they are oppressed by Big Tech just as much as ordinary people are.

- For many such businesses, maybe even the majority, a Business Page is more important than a website, and thus many such small businesses _only_ have a Facebook Business Page, since it is far easier to set up than hosting your own website on your own domain, it is easier for your customers to find you there (because ), and it is easier for you to interact with your customers as well.

I think it would be very worthwhile if the Fediverse would develop an alternative to Facebook Business Pages for such businesses.

A good example for an industry that could benefit from such "Fediverse Business Pages" would be the industry. While some gamers might whine that "RPG books cost too much these days!", the reality is that this is an industry that has razor-thin margins, and only the very biggest TTRPG companies have employees that number more than in the single digits. Every business decision they have to make must involve the question:

"Is this worth the effort?"

Well, if there _was_ a Fediverse Business Page system that was either easy to self-host, or easy to join on larger instances, and which had a similar design to Facebook Business Pages, then there wouldn't be much effort involved in adding the same material to the former if they already maintained the latter. And as declines, the Fediverse could gradually take its place.

What would such a Fediverse Business Page require? It would need an ActivityPub-enabled feed, of course. It would need a configurable link list that would point towards their product pages or sales platforms, as well as space for all the usual business information. And it would require a robust scheduling system with a calendar view (I used the one provided by Meta for a time, and I think it is possible to do better).

Did I miss any important features?

Oh, and the same system would work well for non-business organizations as well - whether clubs, NGOs, or even political parties!

This is why people don't take open source seriously

Yeah, I'm totally going to install the harfbuzz freetype2 fribidi library, sure, that sounds like a normal thing to do to m computer.

Error message in a terminal:

Configuration failed to find the harfbuzz freetype2 fribidi library. Try installing:
 * deb: libharfbuzz-dev libfribidi-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
 * rpm: harfbuzz-devel fribidi-devel (Fedora, EPEL)
 * csw: libharfbuzz_dev libfribidi_dev (Solaris)
 * brew: harfbuzz fribidi (OSX)
If harfbuzz freetype2 fribidi is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a harfbuzz freetype2 fribidi.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

We know that nearly all kids who start on puberty blockers go on to hrt (because, shockingly, kids actually have insight into themselves).

We know from the evidence it's better if kids have their puberty at the same time as their cis cohort.

So just give them the fucking hrt.

Blockers were always a compromise and if cis people can't compromise then let's do the best thing for the trans kids.

Project Manager by day, first-ever blind reality-show contestant, and now an app developer thanks to ! Meet Steve.

Steve has always been excited to make apps, but without a technical background, the path wasn’t easy. Steve has about 10% vision, meaning he can typically see one or two letters on a screen at a time. Traditional development tools just aren’t made with someone like Steve in mind.

Steve is standing in front of a pool with his white cane, taking a selfie using the rear camera of the iPhone, whilst the screen displays his app “Black Lens”  in mask mode whereby the camera preview is replaced with a black screen and high contrast circle that represents where the detected face is.

ポストアポカリプスに出てくる「ここで生活していた人の日記」めっちゃ好きなんだよな
幸せな日常のまま終わってもいいし段々と世界が変化していく様がその人の主観で描かれるのもいい
そういうのを見るだけのゲームやりたい

I'm a bit late to the party and somehow missed this, but here's an open letter to Dutch Universities (both academic and of applied sciences) and their executive boards, to ask that they stop the uncritical adoption of AI technologies in higher education.

I'm looking for ways to build a cross-platform (native mobile & web) voice chat. WebRTC doesn't really scale beyond 5-10 concurrent users as I understand. Paid service is fine unless it's super expensive, self-hosted open source works as well. Does anyone have recommendations?

Oh, my Twitch Recap! I wonder, does the Twitch Recap manage to capture that I stopped broadcasting on or watching the site cold turkey in March when they informed me they were deleting my 10 years of archived videos (as well as those of every other speedrunner)
