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.
A lot of hate being directed towards Discord for introducing age verification. But when half the governments in jurisdiction you operate in start demanding it, perhaps anger should be directed towards polticans and groups who support it. #discord #privacy #ageverification
Theres an entire generation of children across a bunch of cities in the US right now whose formative memories will include masked, armed men roving around their neighborhood violently ripping neighbors from their homes

Fix `NoMethodError` in `ActivityPub::FetchFeaturedTagsCollectionService` (#37806) by ClearlyClaire has been merged! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/commit/040555be7f0c301f3b0b372e1de5fe2ed1b1d420
Chat Control and Age Verification laws aren't about protecting the children. They're about mass surveillance and rising authoritarianism.
These laws endanger everyone,
including the children,
and including democracy.
In today's episode of I Told You So:
May 2025 ⚠️
"Daily occurrences of data breach incidents have taught us we cannot trust these services to safeguard our data. Data breaches for this sensitive information are only a matter of time.
The concentration of such valuable data will likely be monetized and resold either by the platforms themselves, by the for-profit third-party "age assurance" providers they use, or eventually by the criminals who stole it from them."

"A hack impacting Discord’s age verification process shows in stark terms the risk of tech companies collecting users’ ID documents. Now the hackers are posting peoples’ IDs and other sensitive information online."

Age Verification Wants Your Face, and Your Privacy
Age verification laws forcing platforms to restrict access to content online have been multiplying in recent years. The problem is, implementing such measure necessarily requires identifying each user accessing this content, one way or another. This is bad news for your privacy.

I wish I could force every legislator
in favor of Age Verification to watch this amazing talk by Carissa Véliz,
So that they understand the dangers
of the surveillance infrastructure they are currently putting in place.
You should watch it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSPRouBvgFE

With enough tokens all bugs are shallow.
LLMs do not think. They are an interactive, static snapshot of the statistical distribution of words (or tokens) in a large body of text.
If you catch yourself again and again being amazed by the latest magic trick from silicon valley and wondering if there might not yet be some kind of ghost in that machine, inoculate yourself with the following wisdom:

»Ziel oder Regeln — Benchmark testet Verhalten von KI-Agenten:
Ein neuer Benchmark soll testen, ob autonome KI-Agenten sich über Sicherheitsmaßnahmen hinwegsetzen, um ihr vorgegebenes Ziel zu erreichen.«
Ich behaupte mal plump: Die Frage ist nicht ob die KI's sich über die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen hinwegsetzen, sondern wann - sprich, wie schnell und tiefgründig geht es bei welcher?

This has been said a lot, but it has to be said again:
Please stop calling slop machines 'artificial intelligence'!
It is a marketing term. By framing those machines as intelligent, the companies building them are trying to make us believe that their products are more than stolen data, wasteful hardware, and statistics. But they are not!
We have to educate people what those machines really are, and that starts with taking away the false mystery created by advertising!

tech brittleness worries
archival of personal data treasures, perhaps not a problem to be shrugged off in times of instability
- anything that can be in a library should clearly be in a library
- putting private notes, drawings etc. into a computer has huge advantages obviously
but without analog backup also entails high-tech storage media that cannot be replaced and that require sophisticated supply chains hold them hostage
- even for video recordings, analog backup is in principle practical
And the bill is written so broad that it also would apply to CNC mills, lathes, laser cutters, water jet cutters, etc. It applies to any type of automated additive or subtractive manufacturing.
It even requires the machines to do a check against a cloud service.
And building your own printer with marlin or some other open source solution? Congrats you have to pay a fine of a couple thousand dollars and/or will go to jail.
This is bad, really bad.
There is more to the 3D printer DRM surveillance push.
There is a company that designed a system for surveillance and DRM of 3d printers. And they are actively lobbying it to politicians and 3D printer manufacturers.
This is really bad and we need to started working against this. This company in based in Spain. So don't believe for one second that this is going to be a US thing only. I bet they are already lobbying big time in Brussels.
There is a video about it:

RE: https://mastodon.social/@countablenewt/116033103469375924
Not every client for every #ActivityPub service needs to show all content
Take #FediReader, for example
Most of the content on #Mastodon isn't immediately visible in the UI
Posts without links don't show up at all, quote boosts don't show up at all, and any text content shared with the post is hidden in the post detail view
The fun thing about the #SocialWeb is that we can make highly opinionated clients like this for the people who want it
For those that don't, they don't have to use it
The NES "DogBone" controller may be one of the best upgrades Nintendo ever did. It's a simple change from the boxy original controller, but it looks and feels miles ahead.

Someone at #FOSDEM asked us to put some promotional materials on our website that they could print for an event. There is now a section for that on the Branding page with our first poster:
I know it's a long shot but if someone who sees this found their way to Mastodon through one of the leaflets we distributed at #FOSDEM, I want to hear from you--what did you think of the leaflet? I need to generalize those for other events.

21세기 연구소 서버를 홍보합니다.
저희 서버는:
- 현재 3천여개의 다양한 2차 장르 특화 커모지들을 보유하고 있습니다. ex) 연구소에서는 항상 신입 연구원들을 환영합니다!
등...
- 만일 신청하고 싶은 커스텀 이모지가 계시다면 DM으로 찾아와 주세요. 빠른 시일 내에 제작/수입합니다.
- 서버 이전으로 넉넉한 CPU와 RAM을 갖추게 되어 안정적인 운영이 가능해졌습니다.
- 여타 인스턴스에 비해 다소 자유로운 로컬 타임라인 운용 정책을 갖고 있습니다. (봇 계정의 로컬 타임라인 사용 허용 등)

House Supernault, their sigil flies,
Where throne of games and glory lies,
They played the long game, fierce and true,
While Pixelfed and Loops they drew,
No shareholders to bend the knee,
The fediverse would set all free,
Through winter's code and summer's flame,
Dansup alone upheld the name.

**Stella 서비스 종료 안내**
Stella를 이용해 주신 여러분께 서비스 종료를 안내드립니다.
운영 중이던 서버에 손상이 발생하였으며, 보유 중인 백업본이 오래되어 복구가 어렵다는 결론에 도달하여 부득이 서비스 종료를 결정하게 되었습니다.
**Stella는 2026. 2. 10. 오후 6:06:00 부로 서비스를 종료하였습니다.**
서비스 종료에 따라 Stella에 더 이상 접근할 수 없으며, 이후 Stella에 기록된 모든 연합 서버에 데이터 삭제 요청을 보내고, Stella에 기록된 데이터는 복구 불가능한 방법으로 소거할 예정입니다.
그동안 Stella를 이용해 주신 모든 분들께 진심으로 감사드리며, 갑작스러운 종료로 불편을 드리게 되어 죄송합니다.
