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.
Ever driven the same car or used the same camera or power drill for 8-10 years and thought: "I wish all these buttons and levers were suddenly in different places and did different things"?
Yeah. Me neither.
This is a toot about operating systems.
An administrative stay pauses a lower court’s order while the appeals court hears the substantive appeal. Supposedly, it does not indicate the appeals court’s views of the the merits. The Eighth Circuit’s order granting the stay is unsigned and gives no reason or context for it. 2/
The Eighth Circuit is notoriously right wing. It has the largest Republican-appointee majority of any federal appellate court. Trump appointed four of these, 2 of whom were rated “not qualified” by the ABA. https://ballsandstrikes.org/nominations/trump-judicial-nominations-preview-appeals-court-part-2/ 3/
Still dislike that it requires photo ID, though, and want to know what it means for the platform's interactions across the ATmosphere with that in mind.

Turns out, W may run on ATProto. Dope.
Probably should've led with that in the initial PR cycle, and I wish they had given props to other folks building ATProto infra in Europe as well. Not too late to do so!

“European organizations are about to launch their own social media platform, “W”
“The new platform will require identification and photo validation”
“The initiative is supported by an advisory board and former ministers and business representatives, primarily from Sweden.” #W

That whole "W" platform thing seems to be just a private company trying to grab itself free publicity by claiming to be something it isn't.
It's nothing to do with any governments or official organisations, the press release is just a private company talking about itself.
I put together a playlist of some of my favourite songs. Feel free to shuffle, they're in no particular order. Let me know if you discover something you like through it 👍

Request: can anyone recommend Fedi servers (ideally on Mastodon) that would be suitable for a Canadian nonprofit org to make an account on? It would be especially helpful if the server was run by an org/group with a good reputation (easier to convince a board of directors that the platform is trustworthy that way).
(boosts welcome)
おはよーございます
W is a new European platform aspiring to be an alternative to X.
What if we told you that it may actually be launching as an ATProto powered app?
This is a W for ATProto

꿈에서는 3D게임을 만들고 싶다고 했는데, 90년대 초니까 울펜슈타인이나 둠의 영향이었겠지. 걔들이 만드는 게임을 못보고 깼는데, 모쪼록 원하는 바가 이루어졌기를 바란다.

Just put my kid on a flight to St. Paul.
Checked she had her travel stuff:
* Water bottle
* Travel pillow
* Hidden airtag in case feds steal her phone so I can find her
* Charm bracelet I made w/my tel # so that she can throw it to someone in case she is getting grabbed by ICE
So, the 2026 basics
I never applied for an amateur radio license because I didn't like the idea of appearing on an official list of "skilled" people. Until now that was a theoretical fear. One I wasn't even sure if it was warranted or just me being overly cautious.
In Belarus things escalated quickly. Radio amateurs - usually recognized as men of goodwill - have been declared enemies of the state and publicly shamed and indicted for high treason.
깼다. 꿈에서 90년대 초 고등학생들이 컴퓨터 게임만드려고 팀만드는 내용의 하이틴 드라마같은 이야기를 보다가 깼다. 안경쓰고 쌀쌀맞는 남자애가 나왔는데, 집이 학원을 해서 3.5인치 디스켓에 프로그램을 잔뜩 복사해 온다거나, 말로는 차갑게 말하는데 사실 가장 신경쓴다거나하는 캐릭터라 귀여웠다. 게임만들던 팀이 음악을 맡을 사람이 없어서 맥이 풀려있다 강당에서 혼자 일렉 연습하면서 노래 연습하는 애를 만나게 되는데 노래가 take control이더라. 내가 컨트롤 진짜 재미있게 했나보다.
Bold of them to name a new social media platform after a dystopian novel about a totalitarian panopticon state, and only permit users who have verified their identity. #W
![We is set in the far future. D-503, a spacecraft
engineer, lives in the One State,
[4] an urban nation
constructed almost entirely of glass (presumably to
assist with mass surveillance). The structure of the
state is Panopticon-like, and life is based upon
Frederick Winslow Taylor's principles of scientific
management. Society is run centrally by a power
known as the Benefactor, and is run according to a
strict timetable-people march in step with each
other and are uniformed. There is no way of referring
to people except by their given designations
(referred to as 'numbers' in the novel.) The society
in which We is set uses mathematical logic and
reason for its scheduling and as justification for its
actions.
[5][6] The individual's behaviour is based on
logic by way of formulae and equations outlined by
the One State.](https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/115/933/640/587/165/335/original/547c9fe2ee64c14f.jpeg)

On March 2, we are going to try something different. Something in addition to the regular twice/year FediForum un-conference (so don't worry).
We will run an un-**workshop**, on a topic that many in the community have told us is very pressing for them:
How do we grow the Open Social Web?
When Elon bought Twitter now over three years ago, and every time X has been rocked by scandal since, many people expected a big exodus to decentralized social media platforms based on open protocols.

@fediforum I can't wait! I got my ticket.
I just realized that 1996 was thirty years ago.
Gosh!

이 대통령은 이날 청와대 영빈관에서 총 2시간 53분 동안 기자회견을 가졌다. 이는 문민정부 이후 역대 최장 기자회견으로 기록됐다. 1시간 반이라는 예정된 시간을 훌쩍 넘어서도 이 대통령은 기자회견을 계속 진행하며 총 25개의 질문에 답변했다. www.vop.co.kr/A00001686667...

It's wild how many people, even in the face of the glaringly obvious, are unable (or unwilling) to see non-commercial alternatives as valid.
"Oh it's too difficult"
Wel maybe that's the price we'll have to pay. We also did that for democracy, since we more-or-less collectively decided that life under an authoritarian regime wasn't all that great, even though it was simpler.

Yesterday, I interviewed a tech guy who told me something too important for me to wait until the podcast comes out for you to hear it:
Many free AI detectors have especially high false positive rates because they make money selling software that "humanizes" writing. 1/2
They tell students papers sound like AI — even when they're the students' own writing — so the company can scare them and sell them a product.
This goes beyond the general problem that even good AI detectors aren't perfect and shouldn't be the sole reason to accuse someone of writing with AI.
