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.
Have you heard Cory Doctorow's proposal to permit jailbreaking to improve tech in Canada?
It sounds like Canadian officials and tech industry heads are about to listen... This development is like water in the desert rn.
ActivityPub実装にせよプログラミング言語にせよ、コーディングエージェントによって新しく何かを実装するハードルは下がったとは思う。ただ、それを計画的に運用し続けて利用者を広げて価値を提供して改善して...というハードルはあんまり下がらない。むしろどうやって変化に適応しながら品質を維持するのかというソフトウェアエンジニアにとっての難題が増えたとすら思う。
미국 헌법 제정의 주된 원동력 중 하나가 '민주적 사회참여에 대한 견제와 방해'였다는 점을 고려할 때, 첫 단추부터 잘못 끼워진 나라라고 생각합니다.

What's happening in Minnesota is an escalation of things that have happened in other cities - Chicago, Portland, LA, DC. It could be coming to your city next.
I don't say that to scare you. But it might be good to ask yourself:
If this was happening in my neighborhood, who would I reach out to? How would I take action? Who would I trust?
Start building those connections now. If you already have some, strengthen them.
If you are outside of Minnesota and you are looking for ways to help right now, here is a guide:

On the night a man was murdered by ICE in Minnesota, Tim Cook spent the evening watching what must be one of the shittiest movies of all time with the people running ICE as their own personal terrorist organization. https://www.theverge.com/news/867429/tim-cook-andy-jassy-white-house-melania-doc
It's his own demons that he's projecting onto others.
So those shadow monsters are manifestations of his own inner sickness.

More snow, less ICE...
Reminder: if you're posting about US politics (as so very many of you are right now, and for good reason!), please tag it with #USPol and maybe #politics. If you're posting about #AlexPretti, or about #Minneapolis, or whatever, please tag it appropriately.
This will help people *find* your posts, as well as filtering them! It's a win-win!
(Also, please CamelCase your tags if they're more than 1 word. It makes them way more readable.)

DANGER when Snow Shoveling – Signs to Watch For Research shows that the exertion of shoveling snow may lead to a heart attack or sudden cardiac arrest. The act of shoveling snow is mostly arm work, which is more taxing and demanding on the heart than leg work. If you have known or suspected heart disease or risk factors for heart disease, get someone...

As a pretty socially anxious person myself I can also say, you feel like you are going to say it wrong and do it wrong. So say it wrong and do it wrong anyway but the important thing is to do something.

“If you think about it some more, the Lockdown Mode should be the default mode for ... mobile devices. And not because of the security implications. Those are an added bonus. Because of the stupidity implications.”
“None of the "restricted" features are actually important or desired. Think about it. Calls from people you don't know? Check! Photo location blocking? Check! Web pages with pointless remote fonts? Double check! Sounds like an Internet reset, going back to 2010, when the computing world was nicer, saner, cleaner!”
I don’t agree with this entire article, but it’s a pretty thought-provoking take on iOS lockdown mode and how the author sees it as a usability improvement.

Secy of #DHS #KristiNoem claimed that the victim walked up to the agents with the intent to slay several of them. White House Deputy Chief of Staff #StephenMiller posted on X that an “assassin tried to murder federal agents.” Neither of these…correspond with the video evidence.

#Minneapolis police say #AlexPretti had a firearms permit, & that open carry is legal in the state for permit holders. Video of the incident shows him holding a phone, not a gun. Officers do not seem to have realized he was armed until after they pinned him to the ground, & the video does not show them opening fire until *after* they have taken away his pistol.

"That’s the job. If “AI” is actually more expensive than paying actual people actual wages that’s still a good investment for capital because it is about breaking up the structures, networks and organizations that help workers organize and fight for labor standards and fairer wages."
A good reminder that we shouldn't just attack AI on how bad it is at what it's supposed to do.
Winning the wrong game
With studies upon studies showing that actual measurable productivity gains through “AI” (which these days basically means chatbots) are really hard to come by and that “workslop” (meaning the extra work created for the rest of the organization by one person using “AI” lowering their work quality) eats up a lot of what might have […]

Yeah, it's really just bad all around. It's probably the worst invention since CFCs and leaded gasoline (both of which were promoted by the same guy). At least Thalidomide relieved morning sickness.
