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.

The Mac apps subreddit is probably a good reflection of what’s going on with vibe coding. It feels like every day someone posts yet another screen recorder clone.

At this point, it is mostly just copy and paste of the same thing. I am also seeing this more and more among indie developers I know. Their work is getting copied, like what is happening to @martinhoellerMartin Höller.

In den 1980er-Jahren gab es bei CDU und CSU in Bezug auf die AIDS-Pandemie zwei Positionen: In Bayern wollte Peter Gauweiler auf AIDS-Kranke das Bundes-Seuchengesetz anwenden. Er schuf für Bayern einen Maßnahmenkatalog, der Zwangstests und Absonderungen vorsah. Bereits zuvor ging er lokal in München mit großer Härte gegen schwule Lokale vor und bezeichnete AIDS-Kranke als "Aussätzige".

Die andere Position war Menschlichkeit. Die vertrat Rita Süssmuth beinahe allein.

2018 waren und ich im zdf morgenmagazin eingeladen, um über 100 jahre frauenwahlrecht zu sprechen. auf unseren auftritt wartend, saßen wir am bühnenrand. da nahm ich mir ein fangirlherz und dankte ihr für den einsatz gegen HIV/AIDS. sie erwiderte gerührt, dass sie das ohne die starke unterstützung aus der bevölkerung nicht geschafft hätte, denn: von ihrer partei kam ja nichts. diese ehrlichen worte haben meinen eh schon hohen respekt erneut wachsen lassen.

gute reise, liebe rita 🖤

@MaitreJohn Q @catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) :paw::paw: If your first cousin is your parent's sibling's child, your parent's sibling's child's child is your first cousin once removed, and your second cousin is your parent's parent's sibling's child's child then your sibling should be your zeroth cousin and your siblings child your zeroth cousin once removed. It's all very logical. 😂

Actually, I think that might also make you your own zeroth cousin. So your own child would be your zeroth cousin once removed too.

“Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam. We won’t stop until all children and families are home.” - U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro (D-Texas)

All of what’s happening in Minneapolis is deeply rooted in US history. And in Minneapolis and St. Paul history specifically: Read about the Rondo neighborhood, for example. It’s no accident the the flagship lake in the City of Lakes was named after the vice president of the Confederacy until just a few years ago. Don’t get too excited about making saints of us all here.

It’s crucial for us to recognize that historical precedent. It’s also crucial for us to recognize the extreme new danger of the present moment.

Remember, you're on the Fediverse, so your job is to

- Make people feel bad for using other social media
- Guilt-trip anyone who uses AI in any way
- Attack people who don't include alt text
- Argue with anyone in tech because they must be tech bros
- Oppose anyone with entrepreneurial or for-profit interests
- Shame those who use GitHub or any corporate-owned or American product
- Nitpick even the good things just because you can
- Be morally superior and overly aggressive about supposed data privacy issues in tools that handle public posts

Alright, sarcasm over. Seriously, stop it.

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.

Cops in St. Peter. Minnesota, intervene in an ICE arrest. ♥️👍🏿

mprnews.org/story/2026/01/30/s

St. Peter Minnesota's police scorecard is better than most police departments in the US.

There is no racial disparities in killings by St. Peter police, because... St. Peter police haven't killed anyone in the last 13 years.🤷🏿‍♂️

And St. Peter has a higher percent of Black residents than California.

Mayor Shannon Nowell talks about ICE activity and law enforcement from the perspective of protecting the community *from* ICE agents.

Police chief Matt Grochaw lists 8 times that his officers have "had to make contact" with ICE agents, and speaks about the impact to community safety and well-being.

My point:
"Racism is just fascism practiced on Black people first" is true. But it has corollaries: "A community that is more resistant to racism, is more resistant to fascism."

Happy !

You know the drill by now. I don't like talking about Black history. Americans know Black history. I want to talk about white American history. In other words, racism, and the erasure of both positive achievements of, and injustices suffered by, non-white people. That's what people don't know.

Try this: Ask your white US friends what the statue of liberty celebrates.

Now ask your Black friends. Or French folk of any color.

Watch how ICE cut in front to arrest her. Her crime? having been observing them and recording.

Does anyone still want to go visit the U.S.?

It was easier for me to think about the future of autonomous software development before it was the popular thing. I am easily influenced.

I obviously believe that programming agents raise the floor of software development and commodify an incredible amount of labor that used to be highly-skilled and valued. It’s all anyone is talking about. But it is not obvious to me that the ceiling stayed put; that we were at peak software deployment and complexity and all that is left is to do that faster.
