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.
Hey, Fediverse friends.
If you have been DMed by a random angry person asking you for favours related to me or the W3C or the Social Web Foundation, please let me know by DM.
The same person is doing it to others in the Fediverse. I'd like to get it to stop.
I know that dealing with toxic behaviour is unpleasant but it's how we take care of each other.
Thanks.

Did A.I. Take Your Job? Or Was Your Employer ‘A.I.-Washing’?
As companies blame artificial intelligence for layoffs, skeptics wonder whether that explanation captures the full picture.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.
ICE wants to buy data from online ads to spy on people.
They say they don’t need a warrant. Congress could say they do. Time to pass the Fourth Amendment is Not for Sale Act.

Ran a fun Palestine Open Maps mapathon yesterday with Yara Sa'di-Ibraheem. She's researching communications infrastructure in Palestine during the British colonial era, so we extracted the telecom infrastructure in the historical maps using the Tasking Manager, based on Yara's paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polgeo.2024.103242
We got a lot of work done! The blue squares are the ones that have been worked on. There's a long way to go, but good progress.
Finally got around to watching the 92 minute Technology Connections video. Worth every second. The incendiary last 25 minutes, the anger of gentle man, brilliant beyond my wildest expectations. Nerd power at its finest.
Highly recommended.
For the millionth time, ridesharing means carpooling, not hiring an exploited gig worker through a tech bro "disruptor" app that mines your data and breaks every safety and labor law it can find to drive to where you are, pick you up, and then drive you to where you want to go.

US-made munitions have played a significant role in Israeli operations in Gaza. Bellingcat has collated scores of incidents where the remnants of US-made munitions have been found in the aftermath of Israeli strikes over two years of war in Gaza. This dataset, while only identifying a small fraction of the US weaponry that has been deployed by Israel during this period, provides new insight into a number of deadly strikes where significant civilian harm was recorded. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01/30/made-in-the-usa-how-american-built-weapons-have-wrought-destruction-in-gaza/?utm_source=mastodon

We're investigating European-based Patreon alternatives. Does anyone have any experience with any of them? We're looking at Steady but it appears that they process their payments through Paypal which kinda defeats the point of trying to use a European platform...

Only 7 gasoline cars were sold in Norway last month. Seven! 98 diesel cars & 29 hybrids were also sold, but the rest were EVs. And this comes after Norway cut EV incentives. https://electrek.co/2026/02/03/even-after-cutting-ev-incentives-norway-only-sold-98-diesel-cars-in-january/

In 2025, the home delivery program at efoodnet.org -- which I've been working with for years -- delivered 395,200 pounds of food to families and shut-ins across the county. This is just a small piece of the good they do.
If you've got a buck or two to spare and toss it their way, I'd be immensely grateful.
Being an example of kindness, care, and attitude for your neighbors is a primo form of resistance, and shows contrast with the heartless folks spreading hate and violence.

one thing the web should have evolved by now is a portable non-centralised way to verifiably assert "I am the owner of <email address>" because this is clearly necessary for loads of things and approximately nobody does a good job of implementing it
