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’ve more than once woken up recently to a notification on my Mac that made it seem like my OS auto upgraded to 26. Really wish there was a stop bothering me with this crap option.
Is the #forkiverse (and other instances) their own social network interconnected with other social networks, or is the #fediverse a big one?

Bandcamp read the room.
It is the hero we need in our hour of darkness.
Amidst an onslaught of horrendous slop pretending to be music (Spotify is rife with this garbage), #Bandcamp has come out with a new policy statement which is succinct, unequivocal, and rings like a clarion bell.
The TL;DR: **Slop is Banned.**
“Not permitted.” “Strictly prohibited.”
Truly, music to my ears! 🎶

Looking for a recommendation on ultra-light eating utensils. Due to a timing mishap on my part I'll be attending FOSDEM this year with an insecure front crown (the permanent replacement will not be ready until after I'm already on the way). It's already fallen out once and when it was put back in they said to cut everything up really small when eating. So, I am looking for a very light sturdy travel utensil kit for my backpack that is also easy to keep clean.

(Also, what a way to play Factorio)
This post by Bruce Schneier contains so many thoughtful soundbites:
> The question is not simply whether copyright law applies to AI. It is why the law appears to operate so differently depending on who is doing the extracting and for what purpose.
> Like the early internet, AI is often described as a democratizing force. But also like the internet, AI’s current trajectory suggests something closer to consolidation.

We saw it early in the pandemic, in every climate shock & now in Minneapolis. The impulse of most people in a crisis is to share, connect & protect, often at risk to the self. Capitalism and existing power structures have trouble comprehending it and then often try to undermine it
Duckduckgo has a survey for pro/anti-AI and I cackled so hard at the (current) results
