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.
I keep watching people who used to write 10,000-word explorations of complex topics now produce dozens of disconnected fragments per day, each optimized for immediate engagement.
It's like watching someone who composed symphonies decide to only make ringtones.

Cooles Projekt eines #Amiga Fans und richtig gut umgesetzt. Er hat ein kleines Mauszeigermuseum gebastelt – eine Sammlung aller #Mauszeiger aus 100.000 Disketten-Images, von 1984 bis heute:
#introduction
I’m in North Scotland.
I work around energy & technology, usually at the point where the demo ends and reality begins. That’s where I’m most comfortable.
Outside of that, I like travel, films that reward a second viewing, and conversations that don’t rush to conclusions.
I’m mostly here to listen, occasionally to ask awkward questions, and very rarely to be convinced by a slide deck.
Also, a lot of snow recently. Here is our miniature Schnauzer desperate to get back indoors.
發現有許多人其實不太清楚所謂職業仲介的運作😂
在使用他們的服務前，我覺得首先應該要有一個認知，就是職業仲介的客人其實不是你，而是那些招聘的公司
要是你沒有通過面試或者找到心儀工作，仲介是一分錢都收不到的
因為都是從成功案例裡面抽錢
（當然在求職網上賣廣告的情況，那又是另一份錢）
當然我也知道很多職業仲介都很不專業，基本上都是亂丟工作給應徵者，或者完全不提供任何幫助，那就是另一回事
但如果對方盡了所有自己的職責，收不到一分錢還被說不專業，那就真的是太可憐了😂
Was war eigentlich in der 39C3-Infrastructure-Review vom C3-Lingo-Team erwähnte Vortrag mit den 170(?) Slides, wo der*die Vortragende meinte, die Hörer*innen könnten sich den ja nachher im halben Tempo angucken, wenn's ihnen zu schnell ging? Kann mir den mal jemand leaken? Das klang ja eigentlich perfekt für Menschen mit leicht wandernder Aufmerksamkeit...
An American Samoan family in Alaska has been accused of felony voter misconduct after voting in a local election in 2024. American Samoans are U.S. nationals—not citizens—and lack the right to vote. Each family member now faces up to 10 years in prison.

Version 0.4 of the proposed carbon.txt standard looks very suitable to be generated by a CMS! https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/carbontxt-v0-4/ Possibly a new Wagtail package coming up, to encourage sites and organizations to report on their carbon footprint / #sustainability efforts?

So, we started our workout regimen this week, first workout week of 2026. A stayed home to start on pilates. Seems as though Da Fonz was up for his New Year's resolution to lose weight and took over A's exercise mat to join in the pilates session. 🥵
Needless to say, his resolution lasted as long as his food lasts on his bowl. 
If someone is asking for help with using this place, could you let them know about my account, and also let them know about my website? I'm totally unofficial so people only find out about me by worth of mouth 🙂
I have a website full of easy-to-understand guides for using Mastodon and the wider Fediverse at:
The section at the top of the site marked "Quick Start" is especially designed for new people who want to find out the basics.
Thanks! 🙏

once again i was proven that the best way to debug a PC that doesn’t post is to forget about it for a year and plug it in again.
no clue why it runs again but i will take this as a win! \o/

Love Doug Gregor and I have nothing against him, but given what’s been happening with Swift Concurrency, this sounds like the worst timing to bring this principle up honestly.

@ploum What??? De la pub dans le bulletin de notes ?
Sinon bonne idée en soit :)
It is a long-standing tradition for Microsoft to use a runtime copy of Windows as a part of Windows Setup. But the copy is so stripped-down, it cannot run anything but the setup program (winsetup.bin).
OR IS IT?
A mini-challenge for myself: create a semi-working desktop only based on runtime Windows 3.10 shipped with Windows 95 installer but not using any other Microsoft products.
Lots of nostalgic and weird screenshots in this 🧵 thread

Ich amüsiere mich gerade königlich über Kurzvideos von jungen Menschen, die gerade Wohnungen oder Häuser renovieren. Die einen überstreichen Fliesen und Kacheln vorzugsweise im Farbton „Charakterfreies Beige“ und die anderen kratzen Farbe von überstrichenen Fliesen und Kacheln und fragen sich, warum irgendein Idiot die Fliesen mal überstrichen hat. 😆

“Given the devotion of Trump’s cult in Congress, there’s no way an impeachment effort will end with the removal of the president.
Do it anyway. The rule of law is meaningless if you only take it up when it’s easy.”

parental absence and transphobia
Well… I emailed my dad for the first time in a long time. He deadnamed me immediately and addressed nothing I said.
He was nice. Not kind. That’s what I’m used to. But honestly I’ve been alone for a really long time and even in that I felt better knowing at least he cares a little that I’m alive.
And this is what people don’t really understand about the trans experience.
He will never love ME. Just his version of me which isn’t who I am.
But idk. I don’t have many options. I feel very alone. And I miss my dad.
