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.
Today we made some changes to #HolosDiscover. Trending posts are now evaluated over 24h to give more visibility to fresh content. We'll also be working on trending links.
Everything is available through an API. The web version makes it accessible to anyone without technical knowledge.

"In their letter, Democrats said the administration should close the tent camp, which is currently the largest ICE facility in the country. Constructed in a record two months after a $1.2 billion contract was granted to a Virginia-based company with no listed related experience, it is viewed as a model for more than two dozen ICE facilities the government plans to convert into detention centers across the country, including several in Texas."
I've been seeing some messages saying that "AI outputs not being eligible for copyright means they can't be integrated into FOSS projects because they can't be licensed!" and I don't think that's true. Instead, I will give you several *different* reasons to reject AI generated content in your FOSS projects.
In the US at least, the absence of copyright means the public domain. The public domain itself is considered FOSS compatible with every FOSS license. Except!
The public domain doesn't exist in all jurisdictions in the same way. This is one reason CC0 was made, which is a public domain waiver with a fallback license. (CC0 is not a good idea to use with software though, separate thread about why that is.)
There *is* a related risk: internationally, there isn't agreement about whether or not whether or not AI generated content is subject to copyright yet. AND, not everywhere even has a concept of "public domain". AND, the legal status of this AIgen isn't well settled ANYWHERE yet.

I got on the NOVA show's mailing list after I was in the documentary and went to their event. I dunno why they would think it wouldn't be unsettling to read this email:
> We've noticed you haven’t opened our emails in a while, and we miss you! While you may have been engaging with NOVA in other ways, we’d love to reconnect with you through our newsletter as well.
y'all I appeared on your show talking about user empowerment don't send me emails advertising that you're using email tracking antipatterns (which my client isn't susceptible to since it doesn't load images by default btw)

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber the prove-your-phone-id and ios/android requirement is precisely why i don't use signal 🙃
i really hate how certain parts of society require a phone number at all. i have a google voice number from like 17 or 18 years ago at this point that i got before i even had a phone. i would prefer not to use it, but unfortunately my medical provider requires sms 2fa and only supports sms 2fa. banks are also notorious for this.

Does anyone else give a landline/VoIP number and get the response "no, I need your _phone_ number!" (meaning mobile)?
Personally I hate the increasing demands on a high-risk spof which is easily stolen or broken.
OK, that's it, I've been having a bloody fight with CSS all week and I'm declaring an early weekend, which I shall be spending playing Stellaris as determined exterminators.

Great idea from Tom - make a list of one album from every year of your life.

Can you run Signal with basically no iOS or Android devices right now and still do the (mandatory) prove-your-phone-id steps?
It feels like very near future I, and everyone else who cares about computing autotonomy, we're all gonna have to start runnin' the Linux phones, no matter how non-ideal that user experience is right now
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I once talked with someone who had set up a Signal account while trying not to use any Android or iOS devices. I believe part of what they did was use some emulation, including the Android SDK. There's a step where one has to scan a QR code. To get around that: the SDK includes a sandbox for testing camera functionality, and lets the user "walk" around a little "room" -- and you can put specific images on the "wallpaper".
For tags.pub , have you decided how a user (of tags.pub) would determine the URL to the actor for a hash-tag?
Does it involved a WebFinger look-up?
Or, another /.well-known/ look-up?
Or, will the URL pattern be documented. (Ex: /tags/{tagName} )
Or, something else?

One Album for - and from - every year of my life.
It's just a list for now, but it might be a blog post at some point, maybe.
Some years were very hard (i.e. 1992, so much great stuff), others were simple. Either way, I had fun doing this list, and I would be curious to see lists of other folks. Use whatever format you're comfortable with.
Oh, and boosts for reach are cool, if you don't mind.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber It can be done with flare (https://flathub.org/en/apps/de.schmidhuberj.Flare) and with signal-cli.
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber question, aren't there degooled Android versions that would also work? That's been my backup plan since I have a pixel and I think that's the line that they do the most work on... or am I missing something obvious?
@Canageek @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I think the issue is when these phones break and there are no new android phones that can be used due to hardware lockdown

Apple Releases Xcode 26.3 With Support for AI Agents From Anthropic and OpenAI https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/26/apple-releases-xcode-26-3/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
Apple Releases Xcode 26.3 With Support for AI Agents From Anthropic and OpenAI
After several weeks of testing, Apple today released Xcode 26.3, an update that allows developers to use tools like Anthropic's Claude Agent and OpenAI's Codex for app creation directly in Xcode. With support for agentic coding, Xcode can complete more complex app development tasks autonomously. Apple worked with Anthropic and OpenAI to configure their agents for use in Xcode and to ensure that AI models can access a full range of Xcode features.

me in 2022: make everything a native app, preferably a CLI. no browser apps ever if possible.
me in 2026: I don’t trust anything except my browser or a full VM to open untrusted media in a decent sandbox.
hell has frozen over and I don’t hate the idea of web chat apps, provided they run in an actual browser and not an Electron app.
