What is Hackers' Pub?

having full end-to-end control of two of the biggest fediverse platforms is a rare thing.

it means real progress: comment controls, unified messenger, ephemeral stories.

it also helps legitimize smaller projects doing incredible work — emissary, gotosocial and beyond.

we're living the fairytale 🫶

#ActivityPub #Together

I am an allegedly functional adult so I can have (more) coffee any time I want it. Will it help this yawning and this day? Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath, coffee is sort of decorative to me.

(I once quit coffee cold turkey for a week with no observable side effects, when you're usually supposed to notice symptoms from caffeine withdrawal and so on.)

"Incredibly clearly unconstitutional" gets you a 6-3 vote, with the three dissents producing dozens of pages arguing that unconstitutional isn't really so bad.

But 6-3 is better than the other way around.

A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

THEREFORE BLAMING AN AGENT WILL NEVER BE FOUND ACCEPTABLE

I’m calling it the No Digital Scapegoats Axiom.

@dansup @supappsup @HolosSocial is also working on encrypted messages on #activitypub will they be compatible?

GIMP has again been accepted as part of the Google Summer of Code project - see the link for details and some project ideas.

We have a no-AI policy: in particular we need people who will understand the code they write :-) and write code that we can maintain.

Feel free to get in touch - see https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html

You think web page size bloat is bad on some things? oh boy.

Good afternoon to everyone, except bumn.go.id (an Indonesian government website) for having a (at least) 3GB web page because of embedded MP4's with uncompressed audio and video seeming straight from the camera...

This must cost so much for them, like a single page load could cost at least $0.15 in cloud egress fees alone

Yup. In the short term markets are about as rational as that bearded guy in a bathrobe shuffling around in his slippers under the freeway underpass shouting at imaginary greebles. Reminder: In the long run irrational stuff ends up getting washed out of markets as it gets out-competed, thus the "rational markets hypothesis". But in the long run we're all dead. #economics

Never trust lawmakers who want to expand surveillance “to protect children”.

(edit: ich hab mich verlesen! Es war "ONboarding"!)

Sup is meant for those who use Snapchat, Whatsapp and Messenger daily, but also brings a clean and refined experience to people who prefer other protocols.

The modular nature of Sup separates identity from protocols to connect you to your people, wherever they are, with push notifications, dark mode, and even video chat!

This should exist, but it would be difficult to grow from scratch...

Unless you had two platforms you could integrate with first class support.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/116103661147175039

Mekka's take on the methodological implications on the (lack of) cross-tabs on this study are on point, but there's another thing to look at here: our definition of "platforming". So much discussion of "platforming" is conducted from the perspective of "are these ideas dangerous, is it OK to let people hear these dangerous ideas". That's not what is happening. The speech acts involved are not "conveying ideas" and letting people analyze them.

Reading a post that predicts redundancy of 50% of white collar jobs in the next 5 years due to AI. This is a pro-AI post. Ignoring what seems to me some questionable reasoning, the author does not seem to acknowledge that this may have some pretty negative effects on a societal level.

Researchers discovered 26 new microbial species in ancient Alaskan permafrost, hoping their frost-fighting chemistry could help soldiers and civilians alike survive extreme cold.

Donkeys: We’ve got some sorrows you could ease.

Me: Oh yeah?

Donkeys: Yeah, like, we broke one of our toys and one of us has probably swallowed a large piece of it, but you could get us a new one. And then maybe call the vet.
