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.

weird question: is it still a foot fetish if you merely believe that some feet are beautiful, even if you have no interest in them sexually? (and can you relate to that belief?)

1. Yesterday, we broke the story that Kansas drivers licenses for transgender people were being immediately revoked by the state. This morning, the ACLU filed suit in state court to block that process. Thousands of trans Kansans watch with horror and hope. Subscribe to support our journalism.

요새 글을 보면 많은 사람들이 AI에 대해서 막연한 분노가 있는것 같긴한데... 사실 AI 자체 보단 그걸로 사람들을 대체(?)한다는 시나리오로 밀어붙이는 자본가와 경영진들 혹은 이 자본주의 시스템 자체가 원인 아닐까 싶긴함. AI 아니고 어떤 이세카이의 마법(?)이 있어도 즉 마법이 발견되고 마법이 계속 개량되고 등등 그걸로 노동자를 대체하고(?!) 분명 똑같은 일이 벌어질것이라 생각이 들고... 사실 AI는 별것이 아니고 그냥 손대기 힘들정도로 복잡해진 회귀 (물론 이것이 전부는 아니고) 혹은 자동화라고 보는것이 맞겠고...

So Duo (the multifactor authentication service that loves) has integrated with Persona (the privacy destroying, Peter Thiel backed, AI-linked, facial scanning and mapping "identity verification" software)

You know the recent Discord snafu that received such massive pushback and caused so many people to leave Discord that they've dropped their identity verification?

Yeah, that Persona.

Duo integrates it into Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and even Duo Essentials...

...which means many working class folks will have no option but to be enrolled into and use Persona...

...or be fired.

duo.com/docs/identity-verifica

Identity Verification Last updated: January 23rd, 2026 Overview  To help protect organizations from the ever-growing threat of social engineering attacks, Duo integrates with Persona to offer integrated identity verification (IDV) workflows which provide high-assurance of user identities before allowing critical workforce user lifecycle actions in your organization.  Identity verification is part of the Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and Duo Essentials plans.

Maybe not what they intended, but it surely looks like Mozilla is trying to actively hide LLM-driven changes to Firefox (see phabricator.services.mozilla.c). The claim is that this is only about attributable ownership to a human (according to a Mozilla employee in github.com/mozilla-firefox/fir).

The optics are, once again, terrible.

They are getting heavy pushback after their CEO announced that Firefox will “grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem" and become an “AI browser”.

unions, data privacy

A union at a major tech corporation has a gmail (i.e. “personal”, I guess) address for accepting member declarations. Is that even any safe anymore for a worker to apply… One also doesn’t feel like creating a separate Signal account to be able to partake in the group chat without revealing oneself to all included

RE: hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/1161

Software development these days really reminds me of what large political parties do—no shred of thinking about the whole, not even a little bit of conviction, just churning out mid ever more milquetoast "features" designed to eek out a little more compliance.

Moral stances and ethics be damned.

🎙️ TALK: Partitioning very large tables with Django and PostgreSQL by @timb07Tim Bell

Database tables in PostgreSQL cause increasing performance and maintenance issues as they grow larger. In this talk, we'll look at ways of managing those problems with partitioning, the choices available, and how to partition existing tables at Kraken scale with Django.

uspol, worldpol, transphobia, projections

Here's what I think you CAN expect: exactly the same pattern we've seen for the same year:

- A bit of quiet
- "Is everything ok now? Can we stick our heads out again?"
- BAM, the worst shit imaginable all in quick succession, it feels unbearable
- They mess up or lose steam. It starts to cool off. Nothing gets better, but very few *new* bad things are happening, and so...
- Repeat the cycle again.

That's been *consistently* the pattern for the next year. As you make plans, expect this pattern to continue.
