What is Hackers' Pub?

There are two types of software devs in December end:
1. Those who respect the Code Freeze.
2. Those who spend Christmas Eve or rest of the holidays stuck in their childhood room, trying to SSH into a production server over their parents' ADSL while their better half stares stares at them with pure annoyance from the hallway.

Which one are you gonna be? 🤔

One of those things you don't know you need until you find it.

"DOJ won’t meet Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files. The delay means the White House is in apparent conflict with a law President Donald Trump signed in November."

~ Gregory Svirnovskiy

The excuses they're floating range from a huge workload redacting files to concerns about protecting privacy of victims. By releasing material in dribs and drabs, they hope to extend the process through the holidays when people are distracted.

적용 즉시 게이밍당하는 기준선의 문제를 바로 인지하고 지적할 수 있는 행정 전문가의 존재는 매우 고무적이다. 직관으로부터 유효한 속도를 끌어내는 능력은 이재명을 대통령으로 선택하게 만든 요인 중 하나다. (하지만 돌려 말하면 그에게 거는 기대에 있어서 이건 베이스라인에 불과하다는 뜻이기도 하다)

警方調查揭發，27歲的張文曾是空軍志願役士兵，因酒駕被勒令退伍，目前因妨害兵役罪遭通緝。今早先在中山區縱火燒毀路邊車輛，傍晚犯案前更在租住處縱火，以此引開大批警力，再趁機前往人流密集的車站犯案。警方隨後在其租住的旅館內搜出25支汽油彈、刀具及平板電腦等，顯示其計劃周詳且極具毀滅性。疑犯最終在與警方對峙期間從高處墮下身亡，詳細犯案動機仍待進一步釐清。

『性生活不再需要另一半？中國避孕套和情趣用品「一冷一熱」背後的原因』
這種現象揭示，年輕人正從需要承擔情感與經濟重擔的「雙人模式」中撤退，投向更為廉價且可控的自我滿足。人口學者表示，這一現象與中國人口進入「萎縮時代」恰好重合，並預示更長遠的人口與經濟後果。

One thing I think about in Angeline Era is that forcing you to only use food items *before* entering a dungeon, to gain the healing in advance as overheal, feels like how food should've been implemented in videogames all this time, instead of just being equivalent to medicine.

18 years ago today, I was at work and my coworkers were talking about some YouTube video called "2 Girls 1 Cup" and they were like "you CAN'T watch it here, but you gotta look it up when you get home!"

After work, I decided to stop by 7-eleven to get two Slurpees so I could film my own version called "Two Cups One Girl" to try to trick people who were looking for the real video into watching my intentionally boring video instead.

I've still never seen the actual video, but here's the fake one:

Urgent update on Malta 🐾
Thanks to your kindness, we’ve managed to raise part of the needed funds ❤️
However, it’s still not enough for Malta to undergo her surgery.
She is weak but has a real chance if we can act in time.
We urgently need continued support to cover the surgery costs.
Please help if you can:
• Donate any amount on ;

Every contribution brings Malta closer to recovery 🙏❤️

Son got a hospital bill (for an allergy shot) for like $7000. This was with the "uninsured discount".

(Crazy part: he works at the hospital. Pretty sure they know he has health insurance.)

Pixelfed is broken. Cc: @mastodonmigration @tchambersTim Chambers and anyone else in the fediverse advocacy space who will listen.

@dansup and the #Pixelfed project are well aware of this.

@pixelfed has extremely broken ActivityPub support and has for a year (possibly more).

For reference:
https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/4858

This is completely unacceptable and has been going on for ages. @dansup who will no doubt block this account and ignore the issues continues to ignore these issues.
