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've been saying for a while that we need something like FediCon in East Asia. A dedicated conference is still a stretch, but I've been thinking about a smaller step:
@COSCUP 2026 (Taipei, Aug 8–9) is accepting proposals for community tracks. It might be worth trying to open a Social Web track there—something in the spirit of the Social Web devroom at FOSDEM.
Nothing is decided yet, but if you're working on #ActivityPub, the #fediverse, or anything in the social web space and might be interested in speaking (or co-organizing), I'd love to hear from you.

On Bluesky, the killing of Khamenei has united the Iranian people against the US and Israel. On X, the killing of Khamenei has united the Iranian people in celebration of his death and in gratitude towards the United States and Israel.
Sigh, the AI Slop has now come for the PHP project.

Le discord "C'est Pas du JDR" va fermer ses portes prochainement. Le move de Discord de passer à la déclaration d'âge via Persona/Palentir a permis d'enclencher une migration discutée depuis de nombreux mois.

Finished my first little project, it's a little wonky but my partner loves it all the same ❤️
I ditched my smartphone. But the camera on my flip phone is garbage. I got a Sony alpha NEX-5. Ancient but, by my standards, a ridiculously premium device that packs plenty of pixels. What it doesn't do is all the cool post processing. I'm used to the high contrast, over saturated images that Google photos turns out. I need to find some decent software to replicate (some of) that. What do you use for processing your photos? I need something fairly simple that runs on *nix. #photography

"I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven’t lived in blood and bone. That doesn’t mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it’s not freedom you’re after.”

"Friday afternoon, Anthropic learned that the Pentagon still wanted to use the company’s AI to analyze bulk data collected from Americans.
That could include information such as the questions you ask your favorite chatbot, your Google search history, your GPS-tracked movements, and your credit-card transactions, all of which could be cross-referenced with other details about your life."
Just had a sighted person tell me they often use features, clients and programs that were made for us, they don’t use screen readers, but they use accessibility features, even when they do not have disabilities, but also clients like a blind Mastodon client, or a text editor designed with screen readers in mind such as the ones I list on my Tools page at the end, as an example, because they said, the interface is 1000 times cleaner, there’s a lot of keyboard shortcuts, clutter free interface, even though the UI is basic, speed, less bloat, and a whole host of other things including, but not limited to, and never having to put up with distracting animation nonsense. You know software development has vastly sank in quality when sighted folk are using blind clients.

every chat protocol made after IRC persistently keeps you in your chat rooms, even when you’re not connected to the server at the moment. this is generally considered to be a good thing
however, consider: this removes the peak comedy of someone saying “let me try this out real quick” and getting loudly kicked out of the room by their own OOM killer taking exception to an unchecked memory leak.
so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not
there's something liberating about making software for dead ecosystems

Networking stack is infinity growing and impossible to understand, all ISPs available to me use CGNATs and effectively break the two way street of the original internet, threat protection seems impossible unless you pay cloudflare....

美術作家の髙嶋晋一さん、写真家の中川周さんと「preposterous（プリポステラス）」というコレクティブを結成しました。行為・出来事・対象とそれらを記述する言葉との関係を探るプロジェクトです。これから『蜘蛛と箒通信』で記事を連載していきます。今回の「セッション」はぼくの報告ですが、後日、中川さん、高嶋さんの報告がつづきます。とても面白い試みなので、ぜひお読みください。

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com@bsky.brid.gy books.
"The average of everything on github" isn't badass code, it's unfinished student projects that never worked.
We hear "all the text on the internet" and we might think "well, they've sure digitized a lot of classic books, that must be good, right?" but then we realize that all of the books are maybe like 1% of the data. Most of it is like facebook messenger breakup arguments and semi-literate emails.
LLM boosters: This is trained with all of the text and code on the public internet!
People who can fucking think: So it's extremely low quality, then?

what is becoming difficult is that once those people have gulped enough LLM-generated text (and they certainly did) they start to write like them.
