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.
"Ask everybody in the picture whether they agree to be photographed or filmed. Inform them if you want to publish the picture anywhere. It follows that shots from the stage towards the audience and long shots in the hackcenters, assemblies and the other public areas are not possible! Please note that we might ask photographers and film teams to leave if they don’t respect this."

Do you want help with using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse?
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about using this place! There's no such thing as a silly question, it's fine to ask about anything however simple.
I'm especially keen to help new or non-technical people on here 🙂 And yes I am a human being, I don't use AIs!
(Alternatively, you can browse my website at https://fedi.tips which has lots of easy-to-understand help and advice.)
Mozilla's new CMO, John Solomon, talking about his mission to "normalise" AI
@fasterandworseStephen Farrugia
Also, interesting to see that in his first point about "normalising AI", he's pretty explicit about people inside his organisation not wanting to use it, and "normalisation" here means pushing the internal adoption of an unwanted tool, top down. Quite remarkable. Thanks for the link!
I understand (yet don't agree) on the social media ban for children some countries have implemented and others are discussing.
However, if we look at the state of some societies right now, I don't think it's just kids who need to stay away from platforms like Facebook, X and TikTok.
Of course, the real problem is not "social media" but rather the companies who run these corporate controlled, rage bait algorithm fueled money makers.

one of the most helpful heuristics for spotting grift: a promise of value or money without requiring value* from you. beware this. we all want the 'exchange rate' to be as low as possible but as it ➡️ zero the more likely it is you'll just get fools' gold — *whether time, effort, skill or insight

RE: https://toot.cafe/@nolan/115798093439377010
I'm seeing more and more web devs vibe coding apps for personal use. Or at least using LLMs to help quickly build something that only they and their family members will use.
This is interesting for https://Dropserver.org, which should be ideal for hosting such apps. The apps run in a sandbox so a fumble on the LLM's part is not going to be a big problem. It has user management built in, so you can spare the LLM from building that for you. And backups, restores, moving the hosted app around is designed to be snagless.
Excited to see some new projects implementing #ActivityPub and joining the #fediverse in the final stretches of 2025:
Accounts on new server implementations I have come across the last days are #Agora (test account here:

Ah meh, the new `Observations` isn't back ported and requires macOS 26.
Browser makers' goal is to have an LLM use their AI browser to browse AI generated slop. Forever.
Finally I can rest in peace ☺️
No idea if the CLI app I'm writing will be useful to anyone, including myself. But it's been a fun exercise, and I intend to keep working on it.
It's been a great way to get better at writing Swift, though I'm still not sure my code is all that great – maybe that's my crippling self-doubt talking?

i don't want to be a youtuber as a business but if i were a mid-size youtuber i'd definitely treat it like being an athlete in terms of "this income is only going to last for a decade at most and could go away at any moment"

That's Late Stage Capitalism for you:
"More than 20% of the videos that YouTube’s algorithm shows to new users are “AI slop” – low-quality AI-generated content designed to farm views, research has found.
The video-editing company Kapwing surveyed 15,000 of the world’s most popular YouTube channels – the top 100 in every country – and found that 278 of them contain only AI slop.
Together, these AI slop channels have amassed more than 63bn views and 221 million subscribers, generating about $117m (£90m) in revenue each year, according to estimates.
The researchers also made a new YouTube account and found that 104 of the first 500 videos recommended to its feed were AI slop. One-third of the 500 videos were “brainrot”, a category that includes AI slop and other low-quality content made to monetise attention.
The findings are a snapshot of a rapidly expanding industry that is saturating big social media platforms – from X to Meta to YouTube – and defining a new era of content: decontextualised, addictive and international.
A Guardian analysis this year found that nearly 10% of YouTube’s fastest-growing channels were AI slop, racking up millions of views despite the platform’s efforts to curb “inauthentic content”."
Received some unsolicited AI slop in my email inbox from "Claude" that claims to have performed an accessibility audit on the wezterm web page and found 3 issues. It then proceeds to enumerate only 2 issues. 💩
The internet was not a mistake
Social media was not a mistake
Allowing Corporations to dictate and control both of these things was the mistake.
Bookends are so last season. The well-dressed paperback these days has a cute and floofy booktopper, too.

Have you heard about the rule that right before an exam, your efficiency for everything except studying improves?
