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.
People regurgitate content from other socials on fedi without ever interacting with other users then complain the fedi is boring
Sir it’s you you are the problem
The fedi is a party, not a conference
You can’t arrive here with a canned speech - it will just be awkward and that’s why people ignore you and your posts
This is also a message for politicians who say they can’t build a “base” on the fedi. Interact with the people because they’re here.

spooky behavior in my code editor, files opening by themselves... am I being hacked?
no! it's the "go to definition" I asked for 5 minutes ago, finally completing.

Yes, I agree.
I think the important thing is that we get in a position where the ecosystem as a whole is able to make rational technology decisions that make the most sense and which fulfill clear objectives. But in order to be able to do that we first have to have a clear picture of where we are today, what we have established, where pain points are, and where we want to be tomorrow. Then work strategically along a shared (technnology) vision on ecosystem level, top-down. While individual developers drive experiment and introduce technology innnovations to be incorporated, bottom up.
Who dares imagine the fediverse of 5 years in the future. Or 10. Or ...
Who dares to #ReimagineSocialNetworking?
@smallcircles@social.coop I think something that is going to be really interesting to explore is that with ActivityPub C2S, it may make sense for there to be aggregator services, which fulfil a role much like "relays" in AT Protocol — essentially a big fat pipe for applications to aggregate data from all their accounts from many individual data servers.
There may even be a need to have a way to have an application when writing an activity to the data server, to be able to say "also deliver this to the relay as a bcc/bto" (a relay could just be an inbox/outbox setup).

Mozilla wants your input. Here's mine:
Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:
1: Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
2: Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
3: There is no 3.
Mozilla should have NOTHING to do with AI. Nobody wants it. Stop forcing AI into every corner of every project because your VC-brained management have completely lost the plot.
I'm not using any LLM or "AI" for anything that I write or draw. Never had, and never will.
I'm making this choice because:
• This technology was built by unethically stealing the hard work of millions without any consent or compensation.
• This technology has and is still constantly scraping data, including personal data, from people without their knowledge or consent, in complete disregard of the privacy laws we have to protect us.
• This technology unnecessarily uses vast amounts of energy in a world where using more energy sadly usually means more pollution.
• This technology is working on devaluating labor in order to enrich even more the already rich, aggravating poverty everywhere.
• This technology is misleadingly being sold as a solution to problems it cannot solve.
• This technology is supercharging disinformation and manipulation online, centralizing an incredible power of influence in the hands of a few controlling billionaires.
• This technology is increasingly being used by authoritarian governments in order to surveil and control the people.
• This technology atrophies our creativity and capability to think, as well as harming our social relationships.
• This technology makes my writing voice feel flat and boring. I'd rather learn to live with my human tipos.
• This technology...

Red alert! If this sounds like bad shit that's because IT IS
There was a time when the whole internet would be rallied against this stuff.....
as an ongoing series, it would make the conversation much healthier. each side would want to represent themselves well. not be an asshole or appear weak.
there's absolutely no reason for bluesky to do this tho, like a candidate far ahead in the polls.

Acting ethically in an imperfect world
Life is complicated. Regardless of what your beliefs or politics or ethics are, the way that we set up our society and economy will often force you to act against them: You might not want to fly somewhere but your employer will not accept another mode of transportation, you want to eat vegan but are […]

Happy #Baturday! Did you know that bats can blep?
No thoughts, only blep.

@mariusormarius What convention do you use to iterate through an ordered collection? Suppose I need to get items starting with <object-id>.
I don't see an operator for this in FEP-6606: ActivityPub client to server collections addressing conventions

Have you ever wanted to run your build system of choice inside a sandbox that forbids looking up the absolute path of the current working directory (so `realpath`, `pwd`, and such all fail)? No?
Well now you can. https://github.com/ComputerDruid/anticanonicalize

TIL: if you have a laptop with multiple gpus, and its set in eco mode, the steam video exporter wont let you export to h.265/hevc because it exclusively uses the high end gpu for that. ghelper on the asus rog laptops is great, but if you have it set to eco mode, the nvidia gpu is 'just off', and even the nvidia installer will complain there is no gpu present. seems like none of these apps talk to eachother and it seems to make for a kinda dumb ux.
there's this line from Adventure Time that I'm obsessed with...
"I learned to read braille from my ex."
"Your ex was blind?"
"No, just cool."
absolutely sums up my love for that show. just teaching excellent vibes all the way through without being preachy.

Released today, this is the album I would have loved to have made 25 years ago when I started learning to play cello. I gave up the cello, but at least I get to listen to Isabella Pine play hers!
A reminder that while there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, you don't have to lean into it.
FYI for Brandi Carlile fans: she’s performing live this evening in Minneapolis. The concert is sold out, however The Current (https://www.thecurrent.org/) will be broadcasting the audio on-air (89.3 FM in the Twin Cities area) and on their website.
Additionally! You can purchase an online stream viewing ticket here if you want to watch the concert:

And this time I am the one responding that I 100% wholeheartedly agree with that. Thank you.
(PS. I wouldn't describe it as "unseating" where it comes to the position of Mastodon. This would bring Mastodon in a better position too.. "uplifting"?)
@smallcircles@social.coop I say unseating, as in, this sort of significant shift in architecture would like be appealing to people who want to use multiple social apps. The cracks would immediately be visible to everyone with the current social app vertical architecture of the fediverse.
Sure, it'd be more microblogging, which is good for Mastodon, but people on Mastodon wanting to use other apps would feel annoyed and want to migrate to gain access to more applications in the ecosystem — where as right now the choice is to migrate from one vertical platform to another vertical platform, which isn't really beneficial to most people.
I think @cheeaun@mastodon.social will likely be the person to build the first "killer" C2S app.

Wrote something a bit personal today.
18 years in healthcare admin at Duke → coding bootcamp → Django developer → Core Contributor → DjangoCon Communications Chair.
The Django community was a huge part of how that journey worked. Felt worth saying out loud.
I've seen an ongoing debate between "Note" versus "Article" in ActivityPub / ActivityStreams.
When is something a "Note"‽
When is something an "Article"‽
Personally — I would probably have made the distinction this way.
An "Article" has a title.
A "Note" doesn't have a title.
(In ActivityPub / ActivityStreams, a 'title' seems to tend to get represented in the "name" field.)
