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 can’t stop thinking about Nurul Shah Alam, the disabled refugee who died after Border Patrol left him outside in the cold with no way to contact friends or family.

It took five days for him to die.

He was blind and didn’t speak English.

They took the pole he was using as a cane.

This man survived an actual genocide only to be killed by the incompetence and cruelty of the Trump regime.

Five days of wandering around lost, sick and disoriented.

It was all preventable.

They could have taken him home.

They could have called his family.

They could have refused to leave him for dead.

Say his name. Don’t ever forget what they did.

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.

@Crookie - Actually. It will.

You push back against your rep, and they log it and report it in their meetings.

One of the major jobs of a customer service and sales rep is to document and report on current client trends and perceptions.

Push back. And continue to push back. Make it their problem so they pass the problem on.

They change their product and offerings all the time to get more money from clients. If clients are pushing back, threatening not to spend more money, they will alter their actions to get more money.

The bottom line is the bottom line for a reason.

The best thing you can do in light of the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers invest your time, energy, and money in supporting independent creators and independent distribution networks and independent venues. It is absolutely crucial to make independence a viable option.

I've been battling an insertional Achilles tendinopathy since late October 2025. Despite every precaution, I keep encountering setbacks. This despite a marathon coming up in May and 50K in September.

So I finally got around to setting up my bike and smart trainer last night and did my first ride during lunch.

I'm familiar with running power, so cycling power is familiar territory. But what's up with this chatty data? Good hell.

I told everyone I was chaotic good! I did! 💛

The Verdict: If the listener is watching the video feed on YouTube or the TWiT site, this is easily an 8.5 or 9 out of 10 because Atwood's visual gags and frantic office backdrop are highly entertaining.

However, for a traditional audio-only podcast listener—who might find the visual-heavy prop comedy frustrating and the early tangents a bit jarring—it balances out to a 7.5. It is a deeply fascinating, uniquely chaotic interview that requires just a little bit of patience from the listener before delivering the "pearls."

One of the best things I did when I got to SF was open a mailbox at a local business near me. They specialize in paperwork and mail stuff. Not only does this help me with package theft (I ship all high value goods there); when I don’t have the spoons to do things like ‘find the right stamps and box or envelope’, I pay them extra to do it for me. Outsourcing ‘how to get something somewhere’ has saved me so much.

Because they’re also a notary, they know a lot about the local paperwork. I almost threw out a doc that looked like junk to me but she knew that it was an important doc from just seeing the back of it.

Also, there are cats.

오늘(어제) 미국 주식이 좀 많이 내렸는데 AI가 사람만 자르는게 아니라 기존 기업들도 박살 내면 그 기업에 돈 빌려준 은행, 투자회사, 사모펀드도 망하는 것 아니냐는 공포가 크다고 하네요. 잭 도시가 냅다 직원 절반 (6000명) 자르고 앞으로 이게 스탠다드가 될 거다 같은 소리를 했는데 화이트칼라 개발자 사무직이 절반이 잘리면 소비가 터지고 부동산이 터지고 그러겠죠... AI로 돈 풀린 것 때문에 물가는 올라가니 더 큰 일이라고.

@zkatkat the gen ai code issues in software engineering land are not the beginning of a new problem, just a continuation of what was already there.

The majority of software devs have been making life worse for everybody else for a long time now. For every Stenburg and Torvalds and FOSS volunteer there’s 10,000 software engineers working at some big company, shitting out code that’s either functionally bad or ethically bad or both.

IMO the issue is the culture. Somebody who takes a job at meta or google ect is somebody who has already decided that as long as they get paid, they’re happy to cause harm to others. It’s not too shocking then to realise these are the same people who would happily use ai coding tools in a way that puts others at risk.
