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've finally have a working "Java-GI application template" with working localization, settings, desktop file, manifest, icons, etc, that can be distributed as a Flatpak. It's available here:

github.com/jwharm/java-gi-app-

The application uses Gradle to build the source code, and Meson to install settings, resources, translations etc. Currently, both build systems are triggered separately from the Flatpak manifest. I will try to improve this, so that meson triggers the gradle build (or vice versa).

The screenshot shows the dutch (nl) translation that demonstrates the gettext integration.

were a very drunk but head-screwed-on-right 90s trio out of Fort Wayne, IN led by fearless gtrist & singer Kay Gregg, then known by her stage name Chica Baby. They played raging and infectious surf pop/punk tunage to a Bill Clinton America that roundly ignored them. No doubt I would've too . . . except of the once sent me a mix CDr with a couple of their great songs on it - I've loved them ever since.

Three job-related calls lined up for the next 2 days.

One, a preliminary call with a recruiter; probably nothing will come of it because it's an on-site position and my car needs ~$3k worth of repairs before it will work. (Yay, economic traps!)

Another, in the process of scheduling, also a preliminary call with a recruiter, but fully remote and it sounds promising.

And a third, tomorrow, with a major, familiar brand name in e-commerce which is actually the first step in the interviewing process. I was able to get a recommendation there so skipped to the head of the long line.

Wish me luck!

so maybe i do know who needs to hear this, but if you're convening an event focused on AI guardrails, data or sovereignty, open source, rights to personal data, etc., maybe vet your platforms?

attendees should not have to consent to a third party platform to infer , train their AI with participation content, or use NIL for their adverts.

srsly - crowdcast, whatsapp, discord, telegram are not private channels, and they do harvest data. walk your talk, folks.

ends rant....

Even more reason not to consider going to the :

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1dz0g

"As well as the collection of social media information, the new document proposes the gathering of an applicant's telephone numbers and email addresses used over the last five and 10 years respectively, and more information about their family members." ......

If you refuse to give them your social media passwords, what are they going to do, deport you ?
Personally, I think if you "have" to go to the US, leave your personal mobile at home and just take a burner phone (feature phone), and make sure your embassy's number is in the contacts, incase you are picked up by the nazis.

Today, the RSL Collective releases the RSL 1.0 standard. CC worked with the RSL Collective ahead of this release to integrate components of the CC signals framework into the new standard. On the surface, CC and pay-to-crawl systems are strange bedfellows. We have always been a champion of the open web and are concerned about knowledge becoming harder to access. But we also recognize that thoughtfully designed pay-to-crawl systems may help curb extractive behavior. 🧵

낮 동안 우리를 활기 있게 하신 저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님,
당신과 함께 있으리니, 자는 동안도 지켜 주시어 편히 쉬게 하소서.

"10. 저희가 꾸는 꿈 안에서도 주님의 소스가 흐르게 하시어, 평화의 메시지를 받게 하소서."

🍝 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님께서 여러분과 함께.
😋 또한 주교의 면발과 함께 하소서.
🍝 기도합시다.
저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님, 이 밤을 편히 쉬게 하시고, 거룩한 죽음을 맞게 하소서.

공군기 레이더 조사 가지고 중-일간 시비가 계속되는 가운데 (정말 끝없는 been here done that의 연속이다) 중국이 교신녹음을 까고 니들이 몰랐을수가 없다고 반박 : 일본은 그 연락이 충분한 정보가 아니었다고 반응. 다툼이 냐려가는 레벨까지 판박이라 도저히 공통 당사자인 일본의 playbook을 상상하지 않을 수가 없는 상황 같다.

I love fresh tortillas but I always have bad luck with the tortilla press. They stick, they tear, they end up dry, the whole thing feels like a production. So, I almost never make them. Today, I thought: what if I just skip all that and make them by hand? Long story short, they turned out great! They aren't tortillas in the traditional sense but they're sturdy enough to stand up to salsa and soft enough to fold around a pile of beans. Yay!
