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.

Reuters and Washington Post, among so many others, not beating the allegations.

Mind your media sources now more than ever. Pay attention to ownership, country of origin, corporate structure, and how that shapes incentives that drive their coverage.

Get your news from nonprofit and co-op outlets.

Refuse to provide a single minute or cent for the Dem Party apparatus, and any Dem candidates, until they:

1) put multiple impeachments into motion,
2) commit to using the Jan 30 budget deadline as leverage,
3) and commit to the long term work of SCOTUS reform and broader reconstruction.

Or take it further like I have and refuse to support any candidate that isn't also backed by the Working Families Party or Democratic Socialists of America.

Hey, I've been under distress lately due to personal circumstances that are outside my control. I can't find a permanent job that allows me to function, I'm not eligible for government benefits, my grant proposals got rejected, paid internships are quite difficult to find. Essentially, I have no stable monthly income that allows me to sustain myself.

Nowadays, I work mostly on accessibility throughout GNOME as a volunteer, improving the experience of people with disabilities. I helped make the majority of GNOME Calendar accessible with a keyboard and screen reader — still an ongoing effort with !564 and !598 —which is an effort no company ever contributed financially. These merge requests take thousands (literally) of hours to research, develop, and test, which would have been enough to sustain myself for a couple of years if I had been working under a salary.

I would really appreciate any kinds of donations, especially ones that happen periodically to bump my monthly income.

These donations will allow me to sustain myself while allowing me to continue working on accessibility throughout GNOME, potentially even 'crowdfunding' development without doing it on the behalf of the Foundation.

I accept donations through the following platforms:

- “TheEvilSkeleton” on Liberapay: liberapay.com/TheEvilSkeleton/ (free and open-source platform)
- “TheEvilSkeleton” on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/theevilskeleton
- “TheEvilSkeleton” on GitHub Sponsors: github.com/sponsors/TheEvilSke

Boosts welcome and appreciated.

A request from somebody in the USA: if you live in another country, please start pressuring your government to institute sanctions against the US.

Diplomatic sanctions, economic sanctions, whatever is possible.

I do not expect this to happen quickly. Start laying the political groundwork now so that it can happen at all, ever, while it still matters.

“This is an overthrow of a foreign government. It’s an act of war. It is an open-ended declaration of foreign occupation. And as all at the microphone either proudly declared and reluctantly admitted, it was pulled off without consultation with anyone outside their little circle.
That’s what’s impeachable. If Trump understood what he was saying, he was violating all concepts of checks-and-balances. If he didn’t understand, he is incapacitated.” open.substack.com/pub/fallows/

"A reporter asked the obvious: if the U.S. is going to 'run' Venezuela, who is in power right now? Trump’s answer was incoherent. He claimed the U.S. would run it 'with a group' and then gestured vaguely to people behind him, saying, 'The people that are standing right behind me, we’re going to be running it.'

That 'group' included Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth."

1989年の「パナマ侵攻」について読むと、〈日の下に新しきものなし〉みたいになるな…

y-history.net/appendix/wh1703-
>> アメリカの… ブッシュ(父)大統領〔が〕… パナマへの侵攻の口実としたのは、「パナマの政情が不穏になり、アメリカ人の生命が危険にさらされているとして、アメリカ人の生命とパナマの民主主義を守り、麻薬取引を撲滅する」…

ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%9
>> ブッシュはこの侵攻を、ノリエガの煽動に対するアメリカの自衛権発動であると主張…

ちなみに、この時の“独裁者” ノリエガ将軍は結局米国で裁かれ服役している。
