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.
If in the EU. Try WERO and tell your bank how to make it better if you truly care about an alternative to PayPal and the Visa/Master duopoly. Don’t expect the perfect solution. Understand that alternatives are never better or perfect from the get-go but that we need to tell them through using them how to become better and better. Be a pioneer, not a follower :)

I've made mistakes and owned them publicly. A year later, the growth speaks for itself.
I'm human - some won't like me. But I won't abuse your trust or respect again.
Ego aside, I'm focused on building a better future.
Critics can keep posting - I'll keep building 🚀

Nice, there were at least 30 people who raised their hand in the #Fosdem Legal & Policy track when 
@neilNeil Brown asked who is following him, after he asked who is using #Mastodon . Great to see this change with so many more switching to the #Fediverse 😃
Thanks Neil for being pro bono lawyer for so many #FreeSoftware initiatives and for giving the talk "Online Safety" laws: reflections for #FOSS projects" at #Fosdem 👏 https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/EAVFF3-online-safety-laws-and-foss-projects/

Can I ask you a question?
Can you make a living from your federated projects?
Is it realistic to think about creating a project and living, more or less, from it?

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !
Feb 1.
We even have quote posts this year!
This Statue of Liberty thread is especially relevant this year, when everyone is trying to pretend that US fascism against immigrants is something new, by ignoring the ongoing US fascism against Black people. People love to erase or ignore Black suffering. But we're still here, and we stubbornly refuse to be erased or ignored.
Read the whole thread if you haven't read it before.

Here we go: 
@tbernardTobias Bernard and 
@adz are at #fosdem to tell us their plan for a local first desktop, featuring 
@p2panda and Reflection (wich we fund in class 01).
Setting the stage: "2025 was the year everybody, even those who do not attend 
@fosdem, realized they are dependent on us tech. We have to organize strategically to change that!"

Last weekend, Telekom changed their network name from "Telekom.de" to "Im besten Netz." 📶
Curious about how they did this? Will more ad campaigns follow? And what can you do to change it back?

Gerade habe ich mich mit smolBSD beschäftigt, was kleine VMs auf NetBSD Microvm Kernel aufbaut. Schöne spielerei, welche schnell eine VM hochzieht mit z.b. einem Webserver und die VM bootet rasant schnell.
How to say "gag order" in legalese:
"Capgemini determined that the customary legal restrictions imposed for contracting with federal government entities carrying out classified activities in the United States did not allow the Group to exercise appropriate control over certain aspects of the operations of this subsidiary,"

~Let's make 30-year-old pocket organiser Casio Business Navigator BN-20 run some new software, part 4~
Recap of the previous episodes: our friend gave us a pocket organiser. As it happens, the organiser is based on Intel 8086-compatible core. It is related to Casio Pocket Viewer series, but unlike the PV, it doesn't have a way to "side-load" the applications.
So far we've dumped the ROM and tried to use it with Casio PV SDK. PV is compatible enough to kick-start the boot process, but the simulated OS crashes before it can even draw anything.
One interesting lead I decided to follow was the discrepancy between the CPU models in BN-20 and PV series: BN-20 runs on NC3020, and PV runs on NC3022. The documentation for Casio PV SDK mentions that a publicly-available simulator for NC3020 was a thing, too.
Can we find it? Can we run it? Yes we can!

Uninstalled #NovaLauncher from my phone because they added ads and whatnot. Not opposed to paying for a launcher but that rollout gave me bad vibes.
Would prefer a reliable #FOSS alternative. I mainly liked Nova because of the dock and I found it easy to customize. I'm definitely not a power user.
But looked in the F-Droid store and there are WAY too many launchers, lol.
What FOSS launchers have folks found useful on #Android? (I'm running #GrapheneOS)
