What is Hackers' Pub?

Job interviewer: Walk me through your resume.

Me: it’s a story of me slowly realizing that "Entry Level" dev/IT job was a lie.

Fuck, I'm sick.

I knew I'd catch it, but I was hoping.

When we’re giving advice on who to follow to make this place more full of ***life*** for folk arriving, we should add:

- search works well, though not everyone’s posts are searchable; at least you’ll find a starter set of folk to follow
- look at who boosts posts in your areas of interest and look at their timeline; these folk tend to be the connectors in networks, and on fedi, we rely on boosts to move signal

do you want to do more tarot readings but struggle with how bulky and inconvenient it is to travel with tarot cards? want to live in the born mobile generation? look forward to the only tarot deck published on the original mobile device, the ninbendo game girl - hold on, i just did some searching and apparently i'm not the first person to do this?? that's wild. well, mine fuckin slaps. watch this space for it!! #LiquidCrystalDreamsTarot #gameboy

Hot takes I've seen recently:
- "Pixelfed is just a Mastodon reskin"
- "Loops is just short PeerTube"
- "Why does dansup have a strong fan base?"

My take:
- We are building the future of the social web.

Instead of fighting over or against implementation details or developers, we should be uniting against corporate silos.

Build. Ship. Federate. ❤️

I wanted to try out gemini's image editing but it wouldn't because I'm a 'public figure' want to know which one? tim urban, apparently

a pattern I think I’m noticing is that - if you’re results-oriented as a developer then the best move is to use something very big and complex to do a lot of the work for you. like a web framework, a GUI framework, a game engine, an SPA framework, etc.

and because of that, getting hired to write code generally also involves learning (at least on a surface level) several of these Big Complicated Things. because corpos are very results-oriented of course

what I’d expect is that amateur* programmers avoid Big Complicated Things because learning them takes a long time and none of that time is fun for them. but actually it seems like amateur programmers are more split on whether they use BCTs or not. and I find that interesting. I wonder if:

• some amateur programmers enjoy the process of learning BCTs
• some amateur programmers enjoy getting results faster than if they didn’t use BCTs
• a third reason?

* amateur: doing something out of pure passion and love - with no need to be paid for it

Just had someone leave feedback on my F/OSS project saying “maybe that's fine if a product is focused on your Chinese community.”

I'm Korean. Every single piece of documentation is in English. There's nothing in Chinese anywhere in the project.

This kind of microaggression is exhausting. As a non-white maintainer, you deal with these assumptions constantly—people who feel entitled to your labor while casually othering you based on your name.

It chips away at your motivation. It makes you wonder why you bother.

Why yes, I WILL have at least 1400 words about @elementary OS 8.1 tomorrow! It's not just the podcast and YouTube channel getting revived, it's my written #Linux coverage too :)

my biggest complaint about AI is we didn’t ask for it. zero popular movements took to the streets to demand AI. no one sat around kitchen tables lamenting how hard life is without AI.

what people want is health care, housing, climate change solutions, etc We sit around kitchen tables wondering how to pay for college, get loved ones the psych and addiction support they need, or help the people on our streets who need homes

This is how we should all file our taxes this year.

Yesterday I finished the #robin painting in traditional oils, painted after a reference photo by @Laszlo
, which I thought was a fitting post for this years winter solstice. It's the start of true winter and the beginning of the natural new year. So have a nice #wintersolstice everyone!

I just bought another domain. One I don't need and which will not be available for 1.5 years. Still a good decision: @dotmeow.meow ∙ We'll be at #39C3 ^-^' tries to fund the gTLD .meow which will be run by a queer nonprofit. Hope it works out 💚

I'm a trans woman who, if anyone ever asks, will give my deadname as a different male name each time. It's been the single fastest way to find people who talk behind my back. If that name leaks I know just who leaked it and just who to instant block forever.

well, hello there!

never forget: we didn’t ask for robot cars. when polled US majorities have always wanted action on climate, good public transit & safe streets. but our leaders act without our consent.

last year, 78% polled wanted increased investment in US passenger rail, a number that went to 80% among women and 82% in cities and 91% among Black people. this year, 76% polled in the US said they are afraid of self-driving cars & just 9% say they trust them and that number is declining year to year

Do you also know somebody who answer to the question if they play an instrument: “Yes, the triangle 😜”

13 years ago I was so annoyed by people underestimating this instrument, that cuts through every mix, that I planned to make a website about it. Today it goes live:
