What is Hackers' Pub?

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.

There was a cute girl in the heroes party so I tried confessing to her (not really spoilers)

god, I’m really scraping the bottom of the barrel now

kind of hard to watch sometimes but that’s never stopped me before (ok it has but sometimes I push through)

found myself saying the words “well there’s no sexual harassment or assault so by anime standards this is going pretty well”

I suppose there are worse things than a show about a somewhat-cringey simp who respects a woman

first two episodes: 4/10. 7/10 by isekai standards, but that’s not saying much

People with trauma from working on security software projects run by abuse enablers: “Yes, it’s run by assholes who have never apologised but the technology is solid. You should use it, along with this tech that does a different thing and isn’t run by assholes. Both are thoroughly audited internally and by researchers.”

Creeps yeeted from security software projects: “Don’t trust this project! They hurt my feelings by not allowing me to commit human rights abuses on their dime and that is exactly the same as a security breach! They are funded with government money that was not a dealbreaker when I was being paid lots of it, but now that’s sketchy!”

The best security advice comes from people who don’t put up with abuse. It’s almost like privacy is about consent or something.

Software principles that last don't come from architects in glass offices. They come from practitioners who noticed what kept working.

These principles arose from doing the work. They did not descend from on high from those far removed from the work.

This, I feel is the most fundamental truth about doing work: those without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.

Time for another :
This is *Code Dependent - Living in the Shadow of AI* by Madhumita Murgia.

The book takes a critical look at Artificial Intelligence, taking journalistic deep dives into different aspects of AI in each chapter. What surprised me: how much human labor is behind AI. What I liked: the human centric and storytelling approach, that made it an easy read for someone like me, who usually prefers fiction. 💜 I also appreciated the colour scheme of the cover.

At the end of the English Peasant’s Revolt of 1381, King Richard II told the survivors:

“Villeins you were and villeins you will stay – not as before, but worse. Your slavery will be an example to others.”

You can almost feel the sputtering indignation. How *dare* they think they could overturn the feudal order. How *dare* they think they could ever be anything but slaves.

旧民主党をまがりなりにも支持してきたのが(たぶん消極的自民不支持)、バランスが崩れて自民一極化しているんだとすると、右派のエクストリーム化・拡大というより、中間的な層が旧民主党的な政治(二大政党制みたいなビジョン)を放棄し、権威主義的な高市を支持している、みたいな気がする。右派のエクストリーム化は存在するものの、たぶん現時点では主要な現象ではない。

누가 봤을 때 이 노동은 정말 천하다 이런 평가 하더라도 이걸로 내가 나를 부양하고 가족을 부양하고 돈써서 나를 인간답게 하는 예술 등을 향유하고... 이런 것에서 자긍심을 느낄 수도 있어요 그게 사람입니다

트럼프 대통령의 ‘관세 재인상’ 압박에 대응하기 위해 미국을 찾았던 김정관 산업통상부 장관이 “한국 정부가 (대미) 관세 협상에 대해 이행 안 하려고 하거나 지연할 의도가 전혀 없다는 점을 충분히 얘기했다”며 “그런 부분에서 불필요한 오해는 해소됐다고 생각한다”고 말했습니다.

김정관 “미국에 우리 상황 충분히 설명…오해 해소됐다 ...
