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.
If nothing else, at least these coding assistants are making me feel good about myself today. They are equally shite at dealing with inverted coordinate systems as I am. I swear its the USB-A of coding issues.
This is not my cat
I sometimes see him on my cycle home from work. He's old and has an arthritic tail, but was still able to jump up onto my bike, and clamber onto the handlebars in order to headbutt me
He pushed his head against my forehead and stayed there. We stood like that for about 20 seconds - head to head, him on my handlebars
We must have looked quite odd

California's AB 1043 (Digital Age Assurance Act) is annoying, but nowhere near the danger of other age verification proposals. The requirement is for a signal of age/age bracket from OS to application. It is not verification as we usually define it.
You can make slippery slope arguments, but before you do, worth reading the stated arguments for/against the bill.
Also this bill has been law for some time now??? Goes into effect in 2027, but it became law in October 2025!

A Dubai based hedge-fund executive has said to the FT:
No one knew 'you were getting exposed to geopolitics when moving to Dubai. It was not a consideration. People have moved families. This element of concern is new'!
Given the Hedgies are supposed to be the smart guys, how did they miss the Middle East is suffused with global oil politics, and that it has been unstable politically for generations....
Oh that's right; low taxes, folks... it'll all be fine

Following a decision by the Codeberg e. V.'s Presidium, Codeberg e. V. has joined the ranks of many organizations as a co-signatory of the draft letter of the "Keep Android Open" initiative: https://keepandroidopen.org/draft-letter/
Apart from the impact on the many independent developers hosting their source code on https://codeberg.org, we are concerned by the greater societal implications the Android ecosystem's current trajectory will cause. For more information, see: https://keepandroidopen.org

@gilester45Giles of the Jungle 
@alicemcalicepantsDr Alice Violett Does this have some secondary meaning in the USA? - it's definitely just a literal phrase in the UK and as far as I'm aware the rest of the world.
@TerryBTwoTerryB @gilester45Giles of the Jungle I think it's pretty universal 😅 sound out the initials of 'c u next Tuesday' for the hidden meaning.

The US super power suicide continues:
Today, the government of Denmark announced that Denmark along with 7 other EU nations is joining the French nuclear deterrence, which means Danish troops will take part in European nuclear exercises, and potentially, Danish F-35 fighter jets may be made capable of delivering French nuclear weapons.
The eight European nations joining the French nuclear deterrence are Germany, Poland, The Netherlands, Greece, Sweden, Belgium and Denmark.

"we need to open our eyes to the fact that the current industry many of us work in, not only doesn’t care about their workers, it actively resents them. In their eyes, we have gone from being the people who made things possible, to an unnecessary burden on the bottom line.
They hate that we charge money for our labor, and see that money as something we are stealing from their pockets."

So the F-15 is the most successful combat aircraft in modern history. 104 air combat engagements with enemy aircraft. 104 victories. Zero losses. A perfect record.
Only 6 F-15s have been lost to ground based fire in all history. 3 of those 6 were friendly fire under this Operation Epstein Fury.🤡
Add those 3 lost F-15s, to the F-18s that fell off of ships...🤦🏿♂️
And the helicopters that crash into civilian planes...😢
And you begin to understand why all this "warfighter" and "increasing lethality" talk is nonsense.
Competence matters. Communication matters.
I am not debating this with y'all.
today, I had the joy of handing Dr. Hamidian a poem that I made out of the op notes from my vaginoplasty (including his own notes). It will be included in an exhibition he's putting together, comprising artwork from his patients and their families. I made the frame, too: walnut with maple splines.
Gambling markets have conveniently found a stance that allows them to continue to profit from death and war.
