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.

The Verge is actually doing it. Actually connecting the dots between the fascistic tendencies of app stores with the profit motives of their proprietors.

FINALLY.

The open web has been roadkill in the profit games the mobile duopoly has set up, muscled out of view with policies and choices that were designed to leave no fingerprints. But we can all see it clearly now:

I saw LLMs compared to a drug in this toot, but in conversation with Himself today we concluded it's like a cursed amulet.

You *believe* it gives you +10 INT. Meanwhile it drains INT and WIS over time, and you don't notice.

Everyone around you knows it's bad for you and generally for the realm, but you won't stop wearing it, they're just jelous of your newfound powers, and they would know how awesome it is if they only tried! Why won't they try? Just try the amulet!!

Today's Search Engine and Hard Fork podcasts were super fun to listen to!!

Excited that @CaseyCasey Newton @kevinKevin Roose and @pj are building their own Mastodon instance called the Forkiverse.

And I absolutely loved the vibe coding experiments Casey and Kevin did to make their own personal web sites (cnewton.org and kevinroose.com)

Feels like we are taking some of the best aspects of the internet we loved and lost and bringing them together with new tech in ways that are incredibly promising for the internet going forward. Bravo.

Must listen.

@hittitezombierandom thoughts @kyle_pegasusKyle @davidgerard @EF @Tubemeister @TheEntityEntitas Bold assumption that a FLOSS system will ever finish as opposed to hit the 30% done mark at which point there is enough tech debt and complexity accumulated from absorbing the actual variety in the user base without cheating that hacking on it is no longer "fun" so someone gets the bright idea to rewrite it all "so it' simpler" and restart the cycle.

I went to Seattle for SEAGL a couple of months ago. I took the Link light rail from SeaTac to the university district where my hotel was. The train was about half full. I spent most of the time on my phone catching up on Fediverse posts, texts and email.

In the NYT interview published yesterday, Trump openly admitted that his thirst for Greenland is not about military necessity, national security or business opportunities but simply his psychological need to own it.

I think that Trump is looking to secure his legacy as the (in his own mind at least) greatest president ever and adding Greenland would not only make America greater, literally, but also make it a bit bigger than Canada. In other words, a pure vanity project.
