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.

25 years ago today, Bad_CRC posted the primordial meme video "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" on Newgrounds.

In honor of this important anniversary, I downloaded the original Flash SWF file from Internet Archive, played it using Ruffle in a full-screen window, and replaced the audio with the original MP3 of "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" by The Laziest Men on Mars. So this is probably the highest fidelity encoding possible, without going back to the original forum GIFs.

As Blacksky continues to push forward and Bluesky continues its campaign to remake the platform in a bigot's paradise, I can't help but make a parallel to the white tradition of destroying spaces Black folks create for themselves.

US history is replete with examples of how Black folks have made spaces for ourselves that aren't a threat to anyone being demolished due to the jealousy and malice of whiteness becoming enraged we are existing.

I've always thought what happened to my former instance Play Vicious was an example of this being digitized.

And it feels like Bluesky is determined to continue this tradition even as Blacksky pushes the boundaries of what's possible in the Atmosphere ecosystem.

RE: ketanjoshi.co/2026/02/17/big-t

Ketan Joshi, who has been on the beat for a long time, actually looked into the story of if "AI" can "solve climate change". Conceptually as well as evidence based.

"We found that most of the ‘benefit’ tends to relate to older, smaller and leaner forms of machine learning, what has been called ‘traditional AI’, while we also know that most of the new harm is likely stemming from consumer generative AI over-deployment."

Super worth reading and sharing around.

한국 여성들은 '비싼' 프리미엄 생리대를 '선호' 하는게 아니라 그게 아니면 살이 짓무르는 등의 문제가 있었기 때문에 '그걸 살 수밖에 없었던 것'이다. 나는 여동생이 있어서 생리대 문제를 간접적으로 겪었었는데, 집에 돈없어서 가스끊기고 할때도 동생이 쓰는 생리대는 프리미엄으로 살수밖에 없더라. 한국은 중저가 브랜드나 상품이 살아남기 어려운 구조인게 아니라, 프리미엄 라인업이 아니면 쓸 수 없는 물건을 만들기 때문에 계속해서 "고급화"되는것임. 그래서 지금 생리대 제조업체가 중저가 라인업 판매 어쩌고 하는거 보면 가당찮다.
