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.

I owe a public apology to @quillmatiqAnuj Ahooja and the ATProto ecosystem for my BlueSky posts earlier this month.

As a highly visible fediverse dev, I used my platform to attack BlueSky and paint ActivityPub as the better alternative, ignoring the vibrant ecosystem that ATProto has become, and all the hard work many have put in to help bridge our networks.

I am sorry, we're stronger together and both protocols can succeed together.

It won't happen again, and I look forward to collaborating together ❤️

🧵[1/2] After moving to Norway, the dust has settled and I'm finally able to compare my comp and taxes. It's interesting!

- My gross salary dropped ~ 42% in Norway.
- My rent dropped about 7% BUT my place in Oslo is larger and nicer than my place in the Bay Area. On avg rents here are about 40% cheaper than San Jose.
- My effective income tax rate in the USA was about 35%. Norway: about 43%.
**However there's also wealth tax here which will shave about 1% off my global net worth each year.

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. I do not want to criticize the idea of social Software in any way. 🤲 But:

Most of us are doing software engineering as a job. This does and will mean that Software needs to earn money. Every time a company decides to do something open source, and I mean truly open, not just *source-available*, they do that out of the goodness of their heart.

And what we really need to do is educate companies and leaders. Free/Libre software rarely means less profit, but they think it does.

@torgerosTorge Rosendahl for sure! There is nothing I disagree with in what you say. It is just that there are many intricate forces and aspects to take into account where it comes to (F)OSS, 'world improvement', and transitioning to a society that is able to live sustainably with its environenment / has a future.

Btw, I am talking against the backdrop of what I was just posting about (and which may have led you to find this toot).. social.coop/@smallcircles/1161

My general argument, I guess, is that we tend to dictate way too many virtues to the fact that something is (F)OSS. Software freedom is a great quality, but only one piece of a larger puzzle.

If we drop the towel after until we won't be able to let our work bring most benefit to society, in a direction beyond festering

In order for to obtain we need more than just apps that are outside the control of US companies, we need digital infrastructure.

The Government of Canada should establish 'Canadian Web Services' (CWS) as a crown corporation offering everything AWS currently does but hosted in Canada and protected by solid privacy legislation. This would ensure that Canadian's (and foreigners) who need access to the services AWS offers can get them without putting their data under US jurisdiction.

이거 진짜 주목하셔도 좋을 것 같습니다. 만약 숏스퀴즈가 성공한다면 3월 가기전에 코스피 6500? 아니 7000을 목도하게 될지도 모르니까요. 아니, 숏스퀴즈가 무엇인데? 라고 궁금하실텐데. 쉽게 설명하면 공매도로 하락에 베팅한 놈들을 쥐어짜 죽여버리는 겁니다(...)

自分が生成AIで写真編集してみた結果。生成AIの話題なので苦手な方は閲覧控えてください。

ChatGPTが画像生成できると知ってから、自分なりにどういう活用できるか考えてみた結果、こういう作品を作ってみました。自分が撮った写真に、イメージ描き足しという表現。
使いようによってですが、「想像を形にできるツール」としては面白いかなと思いました。

Sometimes you hit UX so bad you're just left wondering *how* the developers messed up so hard. Like "had to actively spend time and effort disabling default platform behaviour" bad, so it can't be adequately explained through the usual means of "too much to do in not enough time".

So, I wonder which is harder to understand?

In one corner: A million lines of code from a CMM Level 4 organization generated by Rational Rose.

In the other corner: A million lines of code vibe-generated by four levels of agents.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!! .... Ding!

I can see these Camera features becoming their own standalone app, without any authentication or login, allowing you to download, or share to other apps via intents.

It could even support AltStore and F-Droid, since everything is handled/processed locally.

No promises though, we'll see how busy I am this summer 😅
