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.
@pfefferleMatthias Pfefferle i think pixelfed is the wrong client/platform if you want to read articles
@ricferrerRicardo Ferrer Rivero🇪🇺 @pfefferleMatthias Pfefferle
The more we keep thinking in terms of "platforms", the longer it will take us to make the open social web a reality.
PixelFed-the-backend could well be a "Generic" ActivityPub Server, separate from "PixelFed the nice way to browse and organize image posts".
let's bring #longform (text) support to the #photoverse
(this is not (mainly) about long texts on #pixelfed or #vernissage (they can both fall back to show the summary), it is about supporting image posts with the object type: `Article`)

Sent messages to all of my Discord friends and told them I'm deleting the app and asked for other methods to contact them and gave them my contact info as well.
Each one of them responded with contact info. They were leaving as well.
Don't let others keep you on a service that doesn't care about you.

Watching a Star Trek clip recently, it struck me that humanity currently has ~7100 distinct languages. Yet on Star Trek, they speak "Klingon" or "Romulan" or "Vulcan", etc as if a planet only ever had one language. That'd be like saying you speak Human.
That's now going to bug me indefinitely.

피곤타
like, you want to find Dave. Dave is way more common than you would think. most enemy groups will have a good crop of Daves.
n.b. pay attention to Co-Conspirator 1's artistry here. it's *not*, as lots of people wrote online derisively, that Dave is somehow totally clueless. no, dear Dave is "my secret agent", "my special informant", he knows what's up—and then immediately after: how was your meeting? how's your important job? what do *you* think of this secret information, love? (you're such an expert! you have access to all this classified info, that proves you're special!)
Dave has this hot Russian agent all over him because his job is so real and important, he's living in a goddamn spy thriller right now; and how much more spiritually satisfying is that, compared to being a random mook barked at in the office room! life under capitalism is a void in the heart, of course he would try to stretch that fantasy life as long as he could, no matter what the critic in his head said. Co-Conspirator 1 is not a blunt instrument at all, she's finely crafted for the exact purpose. when you study her, compare her technique here to that of ASMR roleplay videos; the trick is to keep them in a suspended state like, I *know* she's just performing a role for the leaks/patreon rn, but also maybe she developed real feelings for me…?, but no she's just pretending to get the goods, but she's so nice to me specifically, what if… until they don't care anymore about whether the sugar is real or artificial, they're just craving the next hit of sweetness.
this is honeypotting but the same principle works for other forms of scamming, not necessarily *literally* seducing them, but also metaphorically with the promise of getting rich or strong or healthy or spiritually ascendant etc.
![5. On or about March 23, "Dave, it's great that you get information about [Specified Country 1] first. I hope you will tell me right away? You are my secret agent. With love."
6. On or about April 12, "Sweet Dave, the supply of weapons is completely classified, which is great!"
7. On or about April 14, "My sweet Dave, thanks for the valuable information, it's great that two officials from the USA are going to Kyiv."
8. On or about April 19, "Dave, I hope tomorrow NATO will prepare a very unpleasant "surprise" for Putin! Will you tell me?"
9. On or about April 21, "You have a job in the Operations Center today, I remember, I'm sure there is a lot of interesting news there?"
13. In response to these requests, DAVID FRANKLIN SLATER indeed provided
classified NDI to Co-Conspirator 1. For example, on or about March 28, 2022, DAVID
FRANKLIN SLATER transmitted classified NDI regarding military targets in Russia's war
against Ukraine, and on or about April 13, 2022, DAVID FRANKLIN SLATER transmitted
classified NDI regarding Russian military capabilities relating to Russia's invasion of Ukraine](https://transmom.love/system/media_attachments/files/116/046/052/438/729/522/original/30f0610c43b622cf.png)
As burglars, they used some unusual techniques, ones Davidon enjoyed recalling years later, such as what some of them did in 1970 at a draft board office in Delaware. During their casing, they had noticed that the interior door that opened to the draft board office was always locked. There was no padlock to replace, as they had done at a draft board raid in Philadelphia a few months earlier, and no one in the group was able to pick the lock. The break-in technique they settled on at that office must be unique in the annals of burglary. Several hours before the burglary was to take place, one of them wrote a note and tacked it to the door they wanted to enter: "Please don't lock this door tonight." Sure enough, when the burglars arrived that night, someone had obediently left the door unlocked. The burglars entered the office with ease, stole the Selective Service records, and left. They were so pleased with themselves that one of them proposed leaving a thank-you note on the door. More cautious minds prevailed. Miss Manners be damned, they did not leave a note.

Hallo #Stuttgart und Umgebung: Entgegen aller Widrigkeiten habe ich einen Vertrag für ein Praxissemesterpraktikum bei euch in der Nähe unterschrieben. Die Unterkunft fehlt aber noch!
Deswegen suche ich eine Untermiete (Zeitraum: April bis August, begrüße aber jegliche sonstige/kürzere Vereinbarung - bestens Richtung Süd/Böblingen)
Boosts willkommen! (So könntest DU zeigen, dass dieses Fediversum Macht hat! Gleichzeitig kannst du mich auch helfen, auch wenn ich kein Ralph Ruthe bin! 
)

Toronto’s Don River was declared “biologically dead” decades ago — now fish are returning after a major wetland restoration. Monitoring in 2025 recorded more than 20 fish species in Toronto’s Don River, including Atlantic salmon and native predators such as walleye and northern pike. The rebound follows a C$1 billion renaturalisation that rebuilt wetlands, reshaped the river’s course, and restored spawning habitat.

AfD-Verwandtenaffäre in Sachsen-Anhalt weitet sich aus
Auch Verwandte des AfD-Chefs in Sachsen-Anhalt, Martin Reichardt, sollen laut WDR und NDR im Bundestagsbüro eines Parteikollegen angestellt worden sein. Solche gegenseitigen Einstellungen sind rechtlich nicht verboten, aber umstritten.
Macron s’apprête à nommer à la tête de la Cour des comptes Amélie de Montchalin, chargée d’évaluer en toute indépendance le budget dont elle était la ministre chargée.

We are committed to growing the Open Social Web. For us, that starts by working to overcome barriers of entry in the network and highlighting the things done well.
On March 2nd, 
@fediforum are hosting an event dedicated to Growing the OSW. It's a chance to talk about all the issues as well as the long list of things the Social Web is doing well.
Ahead of it, we've published our Position Paper. You can see it here 👉

So now that Discord has been enshittified to the point where you have to provide a face scan to continue to use certain features.... what are everybody's suggested alternatives to this happ??
'Pflanzen, die an seltsamen Stellen wachsen‘
(dabei sind doch die Stellen am seltsamsten, an denen gar nichts wächst 🤷♀️)

Writing up a little guide on Jabber/XMPP and noticing that today a lot of jabber provider websites are timing out as they creak under the strain of everybody making Discord Enshittification Contingency Plans
one consequence of migrating from GitHub Actions to something like Codeberg CI is that I will be deprecating old versions of software a lot more aggressively
you want to use an out-of-date [edit: end-of-active-updates] version of Python? sorry, unless you provide CI resources to test it I'm just not going to bother any more

Which EU country will be the first to officially move its public institutions to a national Mastodon instance, bringing political debate to the Fediverse and away from disinformation platforms like X?
We know some national-level instances already exist (e.g. in Germany). The question is: who will make it a political decision, not just a technical one?
