What is Hackers' Pub?

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.

There's a lot of energy on the right now to discuss/find a alternative to using .

@strypey suggested that I put this out there to anyone who's thinking about it. We could probably rebuild most of Discord's features as an inbox without doing a lot of back end code.

I'm too swamped to start on this right now. But if you're a great HTML+CSS designer, I'm able to give some time to a team who wants to take this on.

RE: infosec.exchange/@SteveBellovi

"Meta’s internal memo said the political tumult in the United States was good timing for the feature’s release.

“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses."

I changed my regular running route this morning to avoid ice (as is the frozen water kind — damn I hate that word now). I passed by the local house that was a stop on the Underground Railroad. It now has a sign in front of it that says: Stop ICE and Impeach Noem That hit deep.

Also, while I'm talking about the race I'd like to call attention to the "AI" policy planks of Lewis *and* Tanille Johnston, and note *both*, in sharp contrast to Liberals, have "AI" policies that *entirely* consist of regulations, taxes, and bans on "AI" use with not a single policy plank I find in either that would actually increase use of LLM AI

tanille.ca/platform/ai

lewisforleader.ca/ideas/dignif

Tanille's is harsher; Lewis's opens with ~OK so first off 'AI" doesn't mean anything~ which I like

“Come with me if you want to live”

That old line.

“I said, come—“

“I KNOW. I’M THINKING.”

“What, uh, why, I mean, your destiny”

“Siddown, kid”

“There’s no time”

“You’re a time traveler. They could have sent you back with plenty of time to act, but they made it so you’re rushed and disoriented. Sit.”

“I don’t get it, you’re in danger…”

“The time war is a manufactured crisis. Keeps wages down, gives the people an external threat to distract from the real villains”

“Prove it”

I handed her a copy of “So, you’re a child soldier in a proxy war”, then tapped my earbud. “Control, the tip was genuine, I’ve got another one.”

I'm giving up on Google. None of the projects I've been working on (spout2pw, obs-pwvideo, libfunnel) are searchable, you get everything except for the actual project sites/repos. I put up a landing page and it briefly ranked and then disappeared.

DuckDuckGo has no issues. I'm switching.

How badly do you have to screw up search to not be able to search for an open source project and get, you know, the actual home page, repository, or documentation for that project at least somewhere in the first page of results? This is not hard...

Recently, there was a question by @taylorlorenz about how you explain the Fediverse to someone who doesn't use it.

And usually, what we tend to do is we talk about servers and decentralisation and federation and ActivityPub and all these highly technical concepts.

I've been thinking about it, and all that technical stuff is really impressive work by people far more clever than I'll ever be.

But for me, that technology is a facilitating thing. It's like trying to describe how a bicycle works, rather than why you ride it.

Instead, what the Fediverse is, is a place to have conversations online without algorithms, AI, and ads getting in the way.

Which is increasingly a rare thing online.

Almost the entirety of the internet, from SEO on the web to YouTube to TikTok to Spotify to Instagram and X and Facebook, has been turned into a race to game an algorithm designed to sell ads.

What makes the Fedi unique is that it's not that.

And I suspect if you're trying to persuade someone to try Mastodon (or Lemmy, or Pixelfed, or GtS, etc), you'll get a lot further explaining it as algorithm-free, ad-free, AI-free conversations, rather than trying to describe a decentralised protocol.
