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.
Maybe something to clarify with #HolosSocial. There is a full moderation system like on any Fediverse instance. Moderators can ban accounts. But relays are dumb by design: your identity and data belong to you, not to the relay. A ban is like a relay going down, you don't lose everything. You can move to another relay and keep all your followers, following, and data. With a custom domain the transition is seamless, otherwise it works through standard #ActivityPub migration.
This is something that probably sounds obvious to some folks and unhinged to others, but I think it’s worth saying anyway: “workers who don’t adopt AI will get left behind” is right-wing propaganda. It’s more than just a surface-level advertising message. It makes the unstated assumption that workers are all in a state of conflict, racing against one another in competition for acceptable employment. This is the literal opposite of class consciousness! All workers should be aiming for a world where we don’t have to fight each other to earn a chance at a decent life.

Bagel (BC, Canada) has a big announcement to make. He has been shouting very loudly so everyone in the house gets the message. It is vitally important that everyone, everywhere, drop what they are doing and come watch him poop.
@dansup One problem, software isn't actually interoperable on Fedi or Bluesky, like how Pixelfed drops posts without images for no reason, how Lemmy and PeerTube drop anything that isn't a Lemmy or PeerTube post, how PeerTube and WriteFreely don't let you subscribe to non-PeerTube/WriteFreely accounts, or how people have both Pixelfed and Mastodon accounts for some reason.

how's the "tech is full of wokescolds" bit looking now that anyone critical of the numerous socialised harms caused by genAI is increasingly framed as an anti-progress killjoy even by their own peers

So I finally (what, a decade behind popular trends??) am having reason to experiment with actual use of Docker in production, and…I’m surprised at how disappointing it is.
The configuration is clumsy, a dangerous mix of boilerplate and footgun customization points. The dockerfile / compose division of labor is nonsensical; it apparently grew by accretion instead of design. There are lots of loose ends left for hosting services to tie up, and the product thus fails in what would seem to be a primary goal of avoiding hosting vendor lock-in.
Am I simply Not Getting It Yet™, or is the state of the art actually like this?
@inthehandsPaul Cantrell Me, hearing about docker: Cool, yeah, a structured declaration of runtime dependencies does seem like a useful development.

Trying to somewhat wake up before my 7am media interview about fucking stupid orbital "AI datacenters" and I am GRUMPY. This will go well, I'm sure.
And yes, the orbital AI datacenter thing is real, and 2 companies that I know of have already filed with the FCC for over a million satellites for this completely untested, fucking stupid idea. Fuck you, SpaceX, for one million satellites and using pseudo-religious language in your filing.
Instructions on how you can submit a comment to the FCC telling them that you also think this is stupid are here! https://darksky.org/news/two-satellite-proposals-threaten-the-night-sky-the-window-to-act-is-now/
AI is already dead; we are pivoting to crabs. Within 5-6 years 80% of all jobs will be crabs. Begin hardening your dermis into a tough durable exoskeleton now or be left behind. Economic carcinization is coming

90 Prozent meiner Karriere habe ich eher nur technische Lösungen konzipiert, so langsam verstehe ich, dass das Entscheidende nicht die technische Lösung ist, sondern die Folgen der Nutzung. Das heißt nicht, dass ich jetzt alle Probleme nur soziologisch lösen werde, es heißt eher, dass die Technik die soziolgischen Folgen mit antizipieren sollte.

OK, I bought fedi.blue because I can, and I have no plans to use it for anything specific. Well, at least, I want to build an app that is compatible with both the fediverse (AP Protocol) and Bluesky (AT Protocol) ecosystem at the same time. So... if you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to let me know! Sincerely, I want to waste money no more for domains that I won't use, so if you have any good ideas, please, please, PLEASE share them with me. You can find me at @chomu.dev초무 on Bluesky and
@b0rkJulia Evans it has become insufferable, not that it was ever good
@b0rkJulia Evans Even before the AI shit it was largely a cesspit of vacuous hype with barely anything worth reading. Now it's just worse.

Noam Chomsky is one of those people that some people will defend reflexively without even thinking.
Try not to have powerful people that you defend reflexively without even thinking.
That's abuse culture.

This one is so disappointed. It got all interested to play with the Intel C/C++ compilers, downloaded them................................and they're a fucking LLVM fork. It immediately lost all interest, because they're just going to be clang/LLVM with some special sauce optimisations. not their own actual *thing*. Because nobody's doing their own thing anymore.
