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.
Looking for grassroots, local organizing efforts that are supporting the community response in #Minneapolis who have material support needs that I can amplify. Drop links here.
lifehack: use IPv6 addresses as passwords: they have letters, numbers, special characters, can contain caps, and are long enough.
If you accidentally paste it somewhere noone will suspect a thing.
Bonushack: you can put a label in DNS as a password reminder!

Fair play to Minneapolis. This is the fight back the whole US needs.

claude voice mode is so bad. just downright a broken mess. apparently it’s trivial to brick a conversation and then there’s no way to pick off from any point or even restart it.

”It has been clear for a long time, to anyone willing to see, that the people running the federal government—Trump, Miller, Noem, Bovino and more—are monsters. It has been equally obvious that ICE and the Border Patrol are now filled with sadistic thugs. Yet many people—almost the entire GOP, everyone serving in the Trump administration, some Democrats, a significant part of the media—were too cowardly to admit the obvious.”

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.

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.
