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.
Armin Ronacher, who even very recently has previously has been very pro ai agent vibecoding to the point of criticizing critics, seems to have stepped back and asked the question: are AI coding agent users all experiencing mass delusion... including himself? https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/18/agent-psychosis/
Conversation on lobste.rs is also interesting https://lobste.rs/s/0pxvyd/agent_psychosis_are_we_going_insane
For our first launch of the year, we're kicking off with more blocking features!
Rolling out today: You can now include domain blocklists, including ATProto PDS domains if you don't want to interact with bridged users from that PDS, to Bridgy Fed!
Blocks come with if you Bounce, and we even added a handy list of reputable blocklists to choose from.

다만 물 대용품은 물밖에 없으니 많이 먹기엔 부적절해요

In retrospect maybe I shouldn't just casually use the term "slophole"
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber dunno, I'm feeling some great potential for a crossover with that wooden blocks fitting meme.
«That's right, it goes in the slophole.»

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I stopped contributing to codebases where the maintainers enabled slop bots. It is pure crazyness to work with that. And it doesn't feel like I am being valued as a contributor. An LLM could do what you do, and better! - obviously not - but that's the message I understand the maintainers embracing LLMs are sending me.
Join me this week on the Qasim Rashid Show as I invite two amazing guests to the show. Congresswoman Jayapal returns to discuss the work her and other Democratic leaders are doing to meaningfully counter ICE fascism.
And Dr. Nirav Shah—public health expert and principled progressive—joins from Maine. He's running an inspiring campaign to center the needs of working families.

What does #Trump want from us?
“ #Canada increased funds to address fentanyl trafficking, but it didn’t buy us tariff relief.
We pledged more defence spending, but it hasn’t put to rest threats about annexation.”
“Trump’s appetite for Greenland leads us to think that we are next.
Nothing we’ve seen in his 5 yrs as president tells us that policy concessions will make us safe.”

I will be opting my account out of the #Bluesky bridge next week. If you follow me from Bluesky (I think there are about 3.9K of you) and want to continue seeing my posts you will need to get an account on the fediverse. Cheers.
@GargronEugen Rochko In solidarity with you and all you have done for us, I've deleted my #Bluesky and #twitter accounts....permanently.
I plan on focusing on #fediverse and other forms of decentralization, as well as personal privacy technology.
You inspire us all!
Bluesky Corporation have just started hosting and verified the US agency ICE:
https://bsky.app/profile/icegov.bsky.social
In other words, Bluesky are collaborating with racist violent thugs and murderers.
(Bluesky Corporation were already hosting the White House (https://bsky.app/profile/whitehouse-47.bsky.social), the Department of War (https://bsky.app/profile/deptofwar.bsky.social), JD Vance (https://bsky.app/profile/jd-vance-1.bsky.social), Homeland Security (https://bsky.app/profile/homelandgov.bsky.social) etc. This is a long-term collaboration with Trump admin.)

An important PSA for people who are active on #Bluesky and who, upon hearing that the ICE account was officially verified, are saying: "I will just block it."
Blocking on Bluesky is NOT PRIVATE: it's very easy to see who is blocking any account by visiting sites that list that information.
I took a screenshot from https://clearsky.app, listing all the accounts that are blocking ICE (I pixelated avatars and usernames for privacy purposes).
The safest bet is to mute (that info is private) 😫
W3C Invites Implementations of Web Authentication: An API for accessing Public Key Credentials Level 3

I tried an experiment: instead of asking an LLM to help with a project, I asked it what it would build.
It picked a small Rust CLI for code archaeology - a tool to explain why a repo looks the way it does.
The interesting part wasn’t the code, but my role: mostly setting boundaries, killing scope creep, and keeping it a tool instead of a product.
Less “AI replaces creativity,” more “AI accelerates the boring parts if you already know when to say no.”

Current mood: Leslie Lamport once defined a distributed system as one in which the failure of a computer you didn't know existed can prevent you from getting anything done.
My friend Mr. Frederickson lost his battle with terminal cancer over the weekend. He'd worked for a year to translate the sequel to his favorite Sega Saturn RPG "Mystaria: The Realms of Lore" but passed it to others in the community in his final days. His story:

A bit aimless again this evening, but I'm enjoying messing about with my weird wee tooters so this will have to do to say goodnight and wish you all sweet dreams 💤
A post for my #BlueSky followers:
You are more than welcome here on the Fediverse side.
Please reach out if you need any help or advice how things work here.
And I highly encourage you to bring with you what you enjoy most. We love diverse communities and even if your passion is not common here on the Fedi side: let's build a cosy little corner for you and interest.
