What is Hackers' Pub?

💯, and this *is* the process through which web standards typically emerge. A web API only works in one place. Then another. Then another. And then we call it the web. Or it doesn't replicate, and we don't.

Reading @driesDries Buytaert's blog post, when I got to the end and saw his little wordmark, I thought... Drupal Birthday and 'Dries Buytaert' are both db!

Anywho, happy 25th birthday to Drupal, the project that gave me my start in #opensource! https://dri.es/25-years-of-drupal-what-i-have-learned

Very important discovery

"Millions of years ago" is often shortened in scientific literature to Mya. Standard SI prefixes then imply the existence of kya (thousands of years ago), mya (thousandths of years ago), μya (millionths of years ago), and nya (billionths of years ago). One billionth of a year is about 0.03 seconds, which implies that if you speed up the iconic nyan cat video by a factor of about ten, each "nya" will be about one nya long.

@ivoryIvory by Tapbots is there a way to speed up Ivory recognising that the server has changed the post character limit? It currently seems to take 12–24 hours and app restarts and account cache resets do not seem to help.

Today, Project Zero released a 0-click exploit chain for the Pixel 9. While it targets the Pixel, the 0-click bug and exploit techniques we used apply to most other Android devices.

This myth is still floating around, so I'm gonna reiterate please don't use milk on your eyes for teargas or pepper spray. There's a reason we put clean water in industrial eyewash stations. We do not specify milk. Stop.

@Em0nM4stodonEm The best time to leave Twitter was when Elon bought it. The second best time to leave Shitter was when Elon went openly Nazi. The third best time to leave Elons hate&porn-machine is NOW!

The bar is low, but I'm kind of impressed about the comprehensiveness and clarity of info on City status today at https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/weather-winter-together/city-services-affected-by-winter-weather/ , and the fact it's on their own website rather than only on corporate sites

"Others said they have been watchful of the skies and seas around Greenland, tracking US planes on flight trackers and even discussing plans on how best to respond if they were captured. Many said they were suffering from anxiety and struggling to sleep."

I dyed my daughter's hair red yesterday, so I've been calling her and her brother Pinky and the Brain. Neither got the joke.

So I put some Pinky and the Brain on yesterday, the first thing my daughter asks me?

"Is this a show that was on TV when you were alive?"

Wisdom of crowds, #Linux edition:

I'm using Kubuntu, and have an interface mystery:

occasionally my interface zooms out and shows me a dashboard of all the open windows. But I cannot detect what I did to get that! My hand's always on the mouse when it happens, but I'm not aware of making any gesture or click! (Pretty sure my OS isn't telepathic … yet).

Q: how do I make this happen, intentionally? Or: what might this feature/action be called, so I can search for an answer?

Thanks 🙂

hey #Greenland now's a good time to stop using US tech, and teach your friends how to use Mastodon and other decentralized tech

Some web APIs don't need all browsers to support them for you to use them as a dev. I don't think FedCM not being in Safari or Firefox right now is a deal breaker for Bluesky or Mastodon. You don't even need to fully commit to the tech (Google doesn't even use every feature at the moment).

@quincyQuincy ⁂ Heißt das nicht Tagebeau?

Minnesota is really putting the facts of the 'opposition' party on show.

Walz says "I'm gonna deploy the National Guard," but actually deployed the state troopers to protect the Gestapo.

Now Frey's up on stage saying that MPD is just too busy protecting the economy to deal with crimes against humanity, so all protesters should go home. Because MPD won't protect them.

This is not opposition; it's collaboration and gaslighting.

Better watch out next time you use WiFi on a plane. Because it's broadcasted unencrypted across the area of an entire continent via a satellite link. And it can be received using of the shelf TV satellite dishes.

Good part is: private connections are mostly encrypted due to stuff like Let's Encrypt.

Bad part: critical infrastructure doesn't use Let's Encrypt.
