What is Hackers' Pub?

“‘AI’ is not your friend. Nor is it an intelligent tutor, an empathetic ear, or a helpful assistant. It can not ‘make up’ facts, and it does not make ‘mistakes’. It does not actually answer your questions.”

Even if Greenland isn’t officially on U.S. President Donald Trump's acquisition list, he appears intent on claiming it before leaving office. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/09/world/the-greenland-alarm-is-sounding/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #greenland #us #donaldtrump #denmark #eu #europe #rareearths #venezuela

@EUCommissionEuropean Commission Dear EU, I must say that your handling of this situation is an utter disgrace. For some time now, you have been attempting to implement mass surveillance, also known as 'chat control', in the name of protecting children. Yet when it comes to protecting children, you talk of 'spicy mode' and 'childlike images', but you do very little. In case you haven't realised, 'spicy mode' is the regular mode, and those are explicit images generated from pictures of real children.

I've seen a reel from a lady who said that, as an adult woman in her 30s, she's exhausted from trying to get diagnosed for autism/ ADHD and none takes her seriously. She now decided to not get diagnosed and to get treatment for the all her comorbidities instead.
It's the sad truth. 😔

生きることは旅すること
終わりのないこの道
愛する人側に連れて
夢探しながら

살아간다는 건 여행한다는 것
끝도 없이 이어진 이 길을
사랑하는 이를 내 곁에 끼고서
꿈을 찾아다니면서

난 이 가사가 정말 좋다.

This week I gave nearly the same talk to amateur astronomers (Monday) and to professional astronomers (Thursday). It's super depressing, all about satellites crashing in orbit, pieces falling on us on the ground, atmospheric pollution and how the law really doesn't help us at all with any of this.

While the talk for amateurs was depressing, everyone kept their spirits up, and seemed somewhat energized by the list of possible actions I provided at the end of the talk.

Aber Jugendlichen einfach mal alle (!! Das ist sehr scharf) Sozialen Medien verbieten wollen ist ok.....

The foxxo

Jugendlichen den Zugang zu Social Media zu verbieten, ist offenbar einfacher als diese Plattformen und deren Mechanismen endlich mal zu regulieren.

Das sagt viel über die Machtverhältnisse der Milliardärsbesitzer gegenüber uns aus.

MASSACRES HAVE BEGUN!

Ayatollah Khamenei has ordered the IRGC - one of Iran’s most powerful institutions, established as the principal guardian of the 1979 revolution - to reinforce local law-enforcement units and enforce ZERO tolerance.

This means protesters will no longer face the police alone, but the army itself.

Khamenei has chosen to massacre his own people.

If Andrew "bunnie" Huang didn't exist, I'd swear he was a character out of a(n extraordinarily technologically well-informed) cyberpunk novel. Every time I interact with this legendary hardware hacker, he blows my mind with some project or insight that permanently alters how I think about tech.

I am using Fedora Linux again, on one of my computers.

I haven't used it in decades.

(I started using Linux in the year 1996.)

...

It looks different from the last time I used it 🙂
