What is Hackers' Pub?

A day as good as any other to bring back this excellent design by danadrewdles (on redbubble and instagram if you want to find her).

🎉​​🎉 お祭り楽しかった！やっぱりタイムラインのみんなと一斉に何かやるの​​​​

ではでは寝ましょー！

My washing machine doesn’t need Wi-Fi.
It's a feature that I would regret.
I just need a way to wash my pants.
Not show them to the Internet.

My oven doesn't need Wi-Fi.
I'd value that least of all.
It's already shielded from getting too hot.
It doesn't need another firewall.

My fridge does not need Wi-Fi.
That is just not useful for me.
I want a place to chill my food.
Not chat via TCP/IP.

From our Sugar & Sloth calendar, as if anyone on the fediverse needs a reminder:

President Trump’s decision to launch a large-scale military operation – particularly in the absence of an imminent threat to the US – “raises serious legal and constitutional concerns,” says Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), vice chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence.

this is mostly a pretty great summation of where we are with AI coding. The conundrum is described in the section "Your Brain on AI" and "Finding Your Threshold" is a great description of where a developer needs to strike the balance, noting correctly the "I never use AI ever" position for anyone senior is crazy at this point (if I were a junior, I'd probably tell them it's OK to ask an LLM for verbal advice, but not to actually write code, if they hope to learn anything), while also noting the ongoing issues (again for seniors, cognitive decline IMO is the biggest)

Should we upgrade our rack to dual phase immersion cooling for better efficiency or because it looks awesome?

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Yeah, it’s a crappy way to begin a weekend knowing the US has murdered at least 85 school girls. That is my limit of world politics for the week.

I have nothing good to say about Anthropic just like I have nothing good to say about Muskrat during his spat with the orange man, or any of the orange man's associates when he turns on them.

Anthropic knowingly partnered with the pentagon. Their other partner, Palantir, is probably the most evil tech company in the world, which, among other things, powers the ICE abductions of members of our communities. I can go on and on.

Having a writers coffee sesh and our coffee artist is knocking it out of the ball park (this was a request for Cthulhu):

I see some posts on here (both on web and in Tusky, my mobile client) using indented blockquote styling, how do I get that in my own posts? When I try the markdown version, eg

> Here's a quote

it doesn't show up as expected.

The Pentagon wants AI that can fight wars without limits. Anthropic says there are lines it won't cross. And this week, that standoff turned into an all-out confrontation. To unpack the news, I spoke to Kat Duffy from the Council on Foreign Relations and Amos Toh from the Brennan Center:https://www.techpolicy.press/how-to-think-about-the-anthropic-pentagon-dispute/

Dear people - please check your sources. This is very much not what is happening: see Bavaria extending its contract with Microsoft: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Cloud-Row-in-Bavaria-over-billion-euro-Microsoft-contract-without-tender-11114488.html See the Netherlands outsourcing the VAT handling to a US company: https://mastodon.nl/@bert_hubert/116137241938000063

Catodon second beta released! 26.03-beta.2
I'm getting closer to a stable release, I think I will not add much more stuff for the first release - I'm already super happy with the changes so far.

Release notes:
- Further adjustments to the redesigned posting form, visibility is now next to account selector, better alignment
- Posting form in timeline takes up half the space as it is normally collapsed
- Significant improvements in notifications, highlighted divider marks the change from new to old notifications
- Notification dot should now work without needing adjustments from admins
- Following/Mutual Followers/Followers renamed to Split timeline, bumped next to Home
- Home now has a selection between Following and Mutual followers
- Many bug fixes and minor visual improvements

enjoy ​​

다소 불쾌한 묘닝.

아침에 소파에 앉아있으니 딸내미가 와서 앵겼는데 그랬더니 자기도 옆에 와서 괜히 이러고 있어서 웃었다. 사람이 둘 이상 모이면 꼭 쫓아와서 뭔데뭔데 하는 마리. #고양이보여줄게

Dear BBC. One, region-locking content is silly. Two, requiring accounts that can be created with throwaway addresses is silly. Three, why do you limit passwords to 50 characters.

Bur most importantly: Why "Passwords cant include quote marks". What. Are. You. Doing. With. Those. Inputs.
