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.
The FDA decided not to even review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccines for approval, even though the studies the FDA would be reviewing were conducted the way the FDA told Moderna to do them.
Now #Moderna expects that none of its other #mRNA #vaccines will be reviewed, and has halted studies on vaccines for EBV, HSV, and shingles.
A lot of people with herpes would be angry if they found out.
A lot of people who have family members with #MS -- now thought to be caused in part by EBV -- will be livid.
I'm not just working on the Pixelfed frontend/backend, I'm also updating and modernizing our mobile app, it's so much better already.
Faster, Cleaner and Feature Packed.
Comment redesign, Collections, Keyword Filters, Places, Search redesign, Story Polls and much improved Video support.
So much to tease, but I'd rather you experience it yourself.
Soon.

This is wild and I hope Palo customers give them a lot of shit over this. "Attribution is irrelevant" is such a chicken shit way to appease a government that is positioning itself to cause real harm to real people by attacking real world critical infrastructure.
The change, the sources said, was ordered by Palo Alto executives because they were concerned by the software ban and feared drawing retaliation from Chinese authorities, either against the company’s personnel in China or its clients elsewhere.
Put a fucking lampshade over the heads of those executives. Goddamn cowards. The relevance of attribution is for their customers to decide, not them

Dear Fedi friends,
I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/
In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.
I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).
The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️
I am also incredibly thankful for the work of 
@samaabergSamuel Aaberg and 
@patel.riyenThe Life of Tarzan who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.
And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages:

Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you 
@j12tJohannes Ernst and 
@anca
The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you 
@yunohostYunoHost 
) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.
I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌
Edit/update: THANK YOU for all the people who volunteered to have their avatar show up in the last shot. There were 750+ submissions and only 135 spots - sorry I couldn't include everyone 🥲

🏕️ my adventures in self-hosting: day 365 (milestone edition) 🎂
Good morning Fedi friends!
Feeling a little emotional today as I reflect back on one year of #selfhosting.
This toot from December 17 2024 shows off my excitement over signing up for my first VPS and installing #YunoHost: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113667636910565210
If you check out the full thread you can see some of the challenges I faced in the early days. It's only been a year but it feels like a lifetime ago. When I read back, I think: who was this person? _ (task) is so easy! Like, why be scared of tweaking DNS records? 😅
I will write about the highs and lows in a proper blog post. Spoiler alert: there were mostly HIGHS ☺️
For now, I want to express my gratitude to:
✨ 
@shollyethanEthan Sholly who encouraged me by saying (I'm paraphrasing) "go for it, you learn by doing things"
✨ 
who recommended I check out YunoHost (I had never heard of it before)
✨ 
@yunohostYunoHost for empowering me to self-host so many great FOSS tools... and upgrading and maintaining them in a super easy way
✨ 
@stereoralf tauscher 
for helping me test my first self-hosted app (this #GoToSocial account)
And thank you to all the sysadmins and programmers who have helped me troubleshoot problems this year. I found that tech support on the Fediverse takes less than a minute 🥰
I'm really #GratefulForYou 💖

What matters is not whether software is developed or sold by European vendors, but whether all users are allowed to use, study, share, and improve it. A stack is sovereign only if it is 100% #FreeSoftware, guaranteeing data sovereignty, the ability to adapt and switch providers, and full transparency.

The #HugoAwards nominations opened today. For the third year in a row, I'm proud to be responsible for making the software that you'll use to nominate and vote, which is open source and free software.
It is built on #Python and #Django. I don't take donations for my work, but the foundations behind those libraries (and the others that NomNom depends on) certainly do!
Consider a donation to Django (https://www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/) or the PSF (https://www.python.org/psf/donations/) to support my work!
