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 get an SNS topic notification of occasions to my email. It’s all JSON and I should probably send it somewhere else, but it’s SO occasional that I’ve not got round to it. I’ve learnt to parse the JSON for the relevant bit by eye.

The Apple Intelligence preview has also learnt to parse it, it turns out. The inbox preview is now showing exactly the relevant information, and I have to admit to being quietly delighted. It’s my standout best thing about all this recent hoo-ha by a good long way.

More and more features for employer control of phones just means more and more reasons that employers HAVE to supply you a work phone as NO ONE should submit to this on their own phone and the employer control overreach and surveillance just makes the case stronger.

I remember when Amazon rolled out needing to opt into employer control for gaining access to work emails on phone which would include remote wipe, and so I just then didn't have work emails on my phone, and life was better actually.

It has been my habit since exiting Twitter to no longer share anything personal publicly but this conversation that folx are having regarding children who go “no contact” has been triggering.

I haven’t spoken to my mom since August 1, 2023 because maintaining that relationship was a burden that I could no longer bear and I grieve that loss everyday. I miss the relationship I wish we could’ve had.

Tell your MP to attend the debate on

Nearly 3 million people signed the petition ‘Do not introduce Digital ID cards’ .

The government, however, is pushing ahead regardless of public concern. Democracy?

The government is at risk of creating a digital infrastructure that will fundamentally change how we live. What begins as an ID card could quickly expand into a system where we are forced to prove who we are as we go about our daily lives.

[1/2]

Image with text on the left side stating:

"Say no to Digital ID."

To the right are two, yellow, cow ear tags.  Around the hole where it's attached to the cow's ear are the letters "UK" and then mimicking binary code with a series of 1's and 0's.

On the main area of the tag is, from the top:

A royal crown with the letters "UK" to the right.
Next line has a random 6 digit number (as seen on cow ear tags).

Last line is:

"GBR < DIGITAL < ID"

Es gibt (außerhalb der Fantasie von Konservativen) keine "Luxusharzer" und Sozialhilfeempfangende, die einfach nur eine Behinderung vortäuschen, um sich ein schönes Leben zu machen und nicht arbeiten zu müssen.

Selbst angeblich ernst genommene psychische Erkrankungen, die vorgeschoben werden, um nicht weiter nach körperlichen zu suchen, sind oft nicht weit davon entfernt und werden behandelt, als wäre es eigentlich auch nur "Faulheit", die man aber ein bisschen weniger verurteilt.

You might think it's not a priority with all the doom happening around.

But the erosion of privacy rights is directly linked to the erosion of human rights, and the loss of democracy.

Privacy makes it safe for you to discuss, to organize, to resist, and to be your true self. This is exactly why fascists and authoritarians are attacking it.

If we lose privacy, we lose everything else. We have to defend it with all we've got.

Privacy rights are a priority.

Another canary in the collapsing coalmine.

A paper today in Nature by Borlaff et al. on the impact of ever-increasing numbers of satellites in low-Earth orbit on space telescopes like Hubble, SPHEREx, & CHEOPS today, & Xuntian & ARRAKIHS in the future.

The number of proposed satellites is eye-watering, & the effects on astronomy horrendous – there are wider effects on pollution of the upper atmosphere & safety of key orbital assets as well.
