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.

I'm not presently hiring, but I think a really effective engineering interview would be to explicitly ask someone to use AI to solve a task, and see how they navigate. Ignore results, the way AI is driven is maybe the most effective tool at exposing idiots I've ever seen.

Why are the most popular fediverse platforms just clones?

Because "Instagram alternative" actually makes sense to people.

We can innovate all we want, but try explaining "photo sharing network like email where twitter users can interact like you're on the same server"

Federation should be invisible. Users assumed everyone's on the same server anyway.

OK I've now spent a day camping the /

/public/local

("These are the most recent public posts from people whose accounts are hosted by theforkiverse.com.")

feed and all I can say is, in no particular order:

Zero to very low use

Empty

Pretty much content-free posts in general, I mean:

"trying out this new corner of the internet. u up?" with zero hashtags by an empty Profile

An "old" account is barely a week old

Very little (if any) threading; posts are all one-offs

Allegedly: Server stats: 5.6K active users @ 01/15/26

Analysis: a New York Podcast Influencer's flash-in-the-pan featured in (apparently) one podcast

Forecast: since it's nothing more than Just Another Mastodon Instance(tm) on v4.5.4, a slow decline into irrelevance, because right now there's simply nothing to set the Forkiverse aside from all the other Mastodon instances that offer anything besides a famous Podcast Influencer...

YMMV...

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

“싼값에 인공지능 학습하자”는 정부…저작권 단체 “정당한 보상은 당연” n.news.naver.com/mnews/articl... 정부와 산업계는 인공지능 학습에 사용하는 저작권에 대한 보상은 저렴해야 한다고 주장했다. “인공지능이 학습할 때 사용하는 한 권의 저작권과 사람이 공부할 때 사용하는 한 권의 저작권을 단순히 동일하게 생각할 순 없다” 미친 것들. 지들 특허하고 코드도 다 까라고 해야할텐데.

Increasingly, I don't know any of the celebs on celeb contest TV shows. When I look them up, I'm none the wiser: 'Jamareen is an online influencer known for their work in the M-social KatVortex genre, and their appearance on the reality show 'Chimp or Lasagne?' on the streaming channel Digi-Bog TV'.
