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.
Our digital security team has been taking a close look at court documents on the FBI's raid on a Washington Post reporter's home. There's a lot journalists can learn from this event. https://freedom.press/digisec/blog/wapo-raid-security-lessons/

We've just realised that tomorrow is Valentine's day, and so everywhere is booked up for dinner. We have to eat so asked at the hotel if we could make a booking. Yes, but they're only serving their Valentine's day menu.
Herself: I suppose we could have a romantic dinner. There's a first time for everything.
Me: OK, but have you seen the price?
Herself: Ah, a carry-out it is then.
If you follow anyone from the Mastodon instance oldfriends.live they seem to be having some major problems at the moment.
They're reaching out asking for help from anyone who feels like they're enough of a #PostgresQL expert to help them troubleshoot what sounds like major database issues.

Have you seen the new chat platform? It's on Stoat. It's literally on Fluxer. It's on Discord with ads. It's literally on Root. You can probably find it on Spacebar. Dude it's on Squirrel Chat. It's a Rocket chat original. It's on TeamSpeak 3. You can collaborate on Chanty. You can go to Twist and work on it. Log onto Wire right now. Go to Viber. Dive into Zangi. You can Zulip it. It's on Pumble. Osmium has it for you. DCTS has your back. You can go around the corner at Sharkord and get set up. Mumble might be it. You can use Jitsi. You can get it with Chatmail. It’s a discourse exclusive. Nanochat it right this second
In all seriousness go to Fluxer
I know mental health care talks a lot about self care but I think community care is just as important.
The Fedi is one of those space for me. Just talking to folks and meeting new people with similar interests and experiences without having to physically go to an event somewhere is so helpful for me.
And with that - thanks for being here. 💜🫶🏻💜

Each action = collective power
The threat isn't tech being too powerful. It's people not knowing they have power to fight back..

Not only has ICE not left Minneapolis, they haven't left Los Angeles and they haven't left anywhere else. We are seeing a nearly complete media blackout, so please record anything you see and share it widely. Boost over and over again, because people are going back to brunch again and it's nowhere near over.
A Double Dip
Happy Thorsday
and today is your Loki Day!

AI has no fucking business in the work place. These greedy fn’ execs who have replaced their human workforce with AI are the SCUM of society. The parasitic leeches who are draining all our institutions for what little value they have left. I am trying to process a claim for a patient of ours. I have to call UHC to push the claim thru. I get a fucking BOT on the line that is asking me to input some information. I do so, the BOT then says it is transferring me to an advocate. When it “does”…. THE LINE GOES DEAD! How is this more efficient? How is this better? How is this an improvement over just having me talk to a human to start with? IT ISN’T. AI fuckin’ sucks, it has NO value and needs to be unplugged. I’m sick of this. I’m sick of all the cutesy names these evil corps give em #NoAi
