What is Hackers' Pub?

MAGA - "Yeah, but what if Bill Clinton is in the files, huh?"

Then he should be held accountable. This is not some gotcha partisan 'my team vs your team' bullshit. This isn't about who got caught. This is about morality, you mentally and morally stunted fucks.

And what do you mean IF? He's definitely fucking in there.

メッチャ寒いけど…😆

Companies invest millions in their product but treat docs as an afterthought.

I disagree, it must be a core concern.

I wrote a deep dive into what it takes to write docs loved by millions, the value it delivers, and my experience in Astro Docs.

> If your idea of an implementation for the sake of "getting out of the way" ends up taking more steps to activate and is more intrusive when you actually use it, then it's an intentionally shitty design to discourage anyone from using it.

Thanks for responding, I'm not interested in contributing on reddit, so responding here.

@stefanoStefano Marinelli most good programmers are very hard on their own work! You can replace programmers by artists. The meaning of art is to seek perfection, as by your own definition of perfection.

Chat Control and Age Verification laws aren't about protecting the children. They're about mass surveillance and rising authoritarianism.

These laws endanger everyone,

With the currently released things about Bill Gates in the Epstein files (he had sex with the women and girls Epstein provided and asked Epstein for antibiotics to secretly give to his then-wife to treat the STI he gave her) how are we feeling about the Gates Foundation funding ... anything? Why should that creep (through his foundation) get to use that kind of power to shape what scientists and NGOs can do?

(Nobody should have that power, most foundations are politically a net negative on the world but I am talking about a specific case here.)

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

Some suggestions for fighting bigotry on the Fediverse:

- Challenge and report bigotry even if you're not the target, don't leave it to victims
- Listen to victims, don't question their honesty or demand a solution from them
- Don't remain neutral, take a stand
- If you're an admin, defederate servers that knowingly tolerate bigotry
- If you're comfortable using Microsoft Github, give thumbs up for reply controls (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8565) & keyword flagging (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21306) on Mastodon

Russia struck a crowded area in Zaporizhzhia with a drone.

Two teenagers — both 18 — were killed.

Eight more people were injured, including three children. A 15-year-old girl is in critical condition.

The air raid alert in the region has been ongoing for nearly 24 hours.

You’ll never guess the reason why this perfectly capable Netflix client is being sunset. It’s VHS.

VHS recorders, specifically. The PS3 supports AV (yellow, white, red) cable output, which does not have HDCP copy protection. There’s a retro trend happening to get Stranger Things on VHS and this puts an end to it.

@eugenialoliEugenia L because the real objective is not to check the teenagers. They assume you are a teenager until you present your ID.

The real objective is to check and ID every single adult.
Massive overreach.

I thought it went very well except for the demo of course, I really should have automated it fully with a script or just showed screenshots of various window managers instead.

I did get got tons of questions and positive feedback :)
