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.

The 2026 Python Developers Survey is translated into Chinese, French, German, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. We hope this encourages our regional communities to participate- take the survey and share with your local Pythonistas!

@trwnhinfinite love ⴳ There's also this, yeah. GTS interaction controls have already gone through one breaking schema revision from version 0.19 to 0.21 (with 0.20 trying to manage both), and a core goal of the FEP I'm working on is to not break compatibility again.

Sending out an Add in addition to the Accept(Note) that's already happening should be non-breaking for existing implementations, I'm pretty sure. What's left to decide is whether it's a good idea.

@julian@fietkau.socialJulian Fietkau @evanEvan Prodromou @julian@activitypub.space @smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. this makes me really wish people didn't overload the AS2 vocab so much, and were less afraid of defining their own extensions. you could swing it so that the same activity is an Add, Accept, and ReplyAck. it sucks that we have to pick one instead of using whatever makes sense. (developers: please support multityping and/or duck typing! composability is the only true path to extensibility, and one size never fits all...)

"The rabid adherents of AI – not those who feel compelled to use it for work, but the ones who won’t shut the fuck up about it – are too blinkered, greedy, or ignorant to see the writing on the wall. They do not love computers; maybe they never did. They love money and having a mistake-prone LLM do their work for them. They love increasingly ugly leather jackets. They fear falling behind their peers, and would do anything to keep up no matter the impact on the world. They love the insular fascist tech culture that radiates like a cancer from the Bay Area, a once vibrant and interesting place made foul by their presence. They love offloading their tasks to something mimicking a human voice, and scaring themselves into thinking it has personhood despite the entire premise being flawed from the jump. They love deskilling themselves in real time and fooling themselves into thinking they’re Albert Einstein 2."

Nicht "der ganze Norden" "kämpft" für die Hamburger Olympia-Phantasmen, sondern einige davon profitierende Peergroups. Endlich durchregieren mit reduzierter demokratischer Kontrolle, massig öffentliche Gelder in private Gewinne umwandeln - da treffen sich politische mit den Interessen weniger Großunternehmen.

uspol, trans genocide

Hello, remember how I've said before that they're planning trans genocide in the US? Well, a lot has been happening to move forward on that front. A *lot*.

- The head of the Heritage Foundation, who are behind Project 2025, which I may remind you was *nearly fully enacted* in 2025 despite being huge, is saying the correct thing to do about trans people to outlaw being trans. And that includes outlawing all trans health care (adults too), and considering trans people mentally unfit erininthemorning.com/p/you-out
- Elon Musk, who continues to hold *enormous* influence over US policy, is boosting eliminationist rhetoric about trans people bsky.app/profile/zackbeauchamp
- Annnnnnd the Justice Department issues a memo saying it's time to end all transgender care, including HRT, surgeries, but also even access to gener-appropriate clothing and affects lawdork.com/p/trump-admin-new-

There's more. But that's where things are going right now... and I expect more to be coming.

26/2/20 날씨 이것저것 어제 지귀연 재판부는 특검의 손을 들어주지 않았습니다. 오히려 굉장히 건조하게 군을 국회로 보냈다는 행동만 인정했습니다. 물론 그것 자체만으로도 지난 12월 3일은 친위 쿠데타였고, 내란이었으며, 폭동이었음이 법적으로 확정되어 수괴는 처벌을 피할 수 없게 되었습니다. 하지만 "성공한 쿠데타는 처벌할 수 없다"던 12.12의 선례를 깨는데는 실패했습니다. 오히려 실패했기 때문에 "폭력을 자제시켰다"는 궤변을 받아들였죠. 특검의 공소장과 피고의 반론 전략, 재판부 성향 상 예상된 결과지만 씁쓸합니다.

I was writing a blog post tangentially referencing the book "Weapons of Math Destruction" (which itself points to the unfair and sometimes deadly consequences of algorithms) when a friend shared the link below.

Leaked data from Persona (identity verification) only corroborates the awful extension from the premise of Weapons of Math Destruction and the recycling of bad practices from a decade ago...

From the post:

"The blog [from the security researcher] claims that 2,456 source files expose 269 verification checks offered to government customers, including checks for whether a face looks “suspicious,” and two parallel systems for politically exposed persons (PEPs)."

I wonder what is being used to check whether a face looks suspicious? It's not an AI system that is based on data that inherently discriminates against marginalized people, right? ... Right?

"Content about Gaza is also being restricted by age verification. Reddit users in the UK have to verify their age, using... Persona, in order to access... r/israelexposed ... Posts about Palestine on X have also been age gated"

So to view content about Palestine, you first need to hand your biometric data to who supplies the Israeli military with data and A.I. tools thru
