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.
"Sources tell Windows Central that internal teams are also beginning to push back against excessive integration, and the company may therefore reconsider its stance.
At the very least, Microsoft may dial back Copilot features or remove the chatbot’s branding from apps like Notepad and Paint to make the experience feel more conventional, the report says."

Max, excited because he's about to attack his brother for absolutely no reason
Borders are silly.
Oh no, sorry, you can't live on this side of an imaginary line, and if you try we will arrest you.
It makes me think of a bunch of kids playing at recess.

Something snapped into place in my mind. There is an anti-AI position that has absolutely nothing to do with luddism, or any other anti-tech position.
AI is cognitive suburbanization.
Think about it. Architecting everything so that I can't do even the most basic thing without gratuitously using a big, bloated, planet-destroying energy hog- one that *in theory* saves time, but actually just wastes it. Reducing all my options to the same generic, regurgitated, cookie cutter slop.

First and foremost, alt text must always be informative and descriptive of the content in the image. It can have character and humor, but it still needs to be informative and descriptive. Alt text is not a place to add easter eggs or jokes for sighted users.

doas pkg update and doas pkg upgrade yesterday. Today the QT6 version of Qutebrowser has now been built for #FreeBSD `15.0 Latest and it no longer tries to uninstall Qutebrowser. 😃Oh I passed 200+ followers, pretty crazy.
Well, better this than the #Crapturday I had at the office a couple of weeks ago 😆💩

Do we know of any public #libraries that have set up their own instance for news and whatnot in the #fediverse ?
This guy named Ben Palmer made an "Immigration tip line" and people call it thinking he's ICE.
He records them and shares it with the world.
What do people sound like when reporting their neighbors, coworkers, students? Are they confident they are doing a righteous good thing?
Witness the banality of evil in these sheepish suburban voices.

The evidence seems to indicate that being rich and powerful is a curse. May it never happen to me.
Meanwhile, in pigeon news: An episode of a show touched on French Mondain pigeons. And good heavens!
"The Mondain is an ancient French pigeon breed. It was kept at many farms and also by poultry fanciers. The breed was described in documents, found in 1824. A distinction was made between three types of Mondain:
The large Mondain that, according to Buffon, sometimes reached the weight of a small chicken. This type of Mondain was very large, very heavy and had red eye ceres. The feather colour varied, in fact they occurred in all know pigeon colours. The number of offspring was low, also they often trampled the eggs or crushed them with their heavy body during incubation."
"The size of a small chicken... Surely not" I just had time to think to myself before scrolling down to THIS CHONKER.

"The Zersetzung is working. He is taking himself apart, piece by piece, and replacing the parts with synthetic fillers because the world has told him his own parts are defective."
"The Colonization of Confidence" by Robert Kingett (
@WeirdWriterRobert Kingett) is one of the best pieces of writing about "AI" I have ever seen. Read it over lunch and it literally made me cry in the restaurant.

did you know? if you're a paying adobe user, you can message the support and ask for offline installers for the software you pay for
why would you do that? if they ever were to discontinue one of their products (*cough* animate), you could still install and activate it
and while i do not publicly endorse piracy (for obvious reasons), i do want to note that installations made with these offline installers have way safer methods of patching them than downloading a pirated copy that's potentially malicious
all i'm saying is, those installers are kind of annoying to get these days. if you pay for the software, ask for the installers and make backups of them.
oh and last - you can ask for older versions too! even older than what the CC app shows you

I have a stack of spare laptops at home. These would be good for testing small cluster. My home network is pretty unstable (30mins downtime total in a day, hard reset on every night, no LAN cable in wall) but new home is pretty done, so I'm going to make a homelab there before I actually move on.
