What is Hackers' Pub?

Once you realize it’s not “age verification”, but actually “identity verification”, then it’s easy to understand that the real goal is “papers, please” for the entire internet.

@FediTips On Mastodon, I can quote a post in a new post. But can I also quote a post in a reply to another post? Quote post A in a reply to post B? If so, how can I achieve this?

I dunno it seems pretty sus that y'all have to keep making "It's just an experiment, bro" excuses for the glaring security issues in your vibe code.

For people working in the #Bevy ecosystem I just wrote a simple little site that lets you explore the bevy #crate ecosystem filtering by bevy version. Quite happy with the search system. It’s very basic but I am happy to make improvements and plan on it. https://bevydex.dev/dex

It's kind of impressive how widespread is the view among US foreign policy types and media figures that you can indiscriminately bomb another country and they will not only love you for it but immediately reform their entire country to be accommodating to your whims.

Like, it's never once come true but that hasn't stopped them from insisting on it every single time.

I no longer complain about information being delivered via video instead of text, because it's not "video". It's YouTube and TikTok. These platforms pay people to make content for them. If manpages paid out per view, you'd be getting your web framework docs *and* your makeup tutorials from them too

I put all of the apps I use regularly behind Tailscale over the weekend (my site admin too!). TBD whether it all works out as expected.

A friend, @chloetankahhui陳佳慧 AgeVerificationHater 🏳️‍⚧️ has been speaking up against the proposal to enforce age verification at the OS level, and the QRTs to this shows the extent of naivety that a lot of people have.

No one who does hardware security believes that any system is bulletproof, but do you really think that circumventing these things will always be a simple firmware mod or hardware hack?

Let's dive in. /1

A must read thread from @sleepyowlSchrödinger's Catgirl (Joyce), particularly for anyone laughing off the "oh they're trying to enforce age verification at an OS level, well I'll just change my open source operating system settings"

Y'all, this is the game where we get LOCKED OUT of having ANY real FOSS operating system we control AT ALL

The steps have been being put in place for this for over a decade now. And who controls the supply chain?

We have to fight this stuff tooth and nail.

‘물범’이 3월의 ‘멸종위기 야생생물’로 선정됐습니다. 과거 모피를 얻기 위한 무분별한 포획이 물범의 개체 수 감소요인이었지만 지금은 어구에 의한 혼획, 연안개발과 선박 이동으로 인한 교란, 서식처 파괴 등이 개체 수 감소의 주요 원인으로 꼽힙니다.

Wow, we're finally actually doing it https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-adopting-year-round-daylight-time-9.7111657

It’s a lot harder than it sounds 😅

But I’ve been working at it for more than 2 years, and Spira is finally about to launch!

There are over 600 comments submitted on Reflect Orbital's filing at the FCC!! That's amazing, especially given how hard the FCC has made the submission process.

If you want to submit your own comment (on this or SpaceX's million sat filing), there's still a few more days to do that, and instructions are here: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc

It's official! This Sunday will be the last "leap forward" in BC!

As of next November, the Vancouver time zone in British Columbia, Canada will be referred to as "Pacific Time" and will be -7GMT permanently. (same as Yukon Territory which did this 2 years ago)

The presser was pretty cute actually. They had kids with little clocks, and they danced.

I would have preferred staying at Standard Time, but this will be ok too. It's interesting that Premier Eby made a point of (gently, as there were kids) insisting the delay of 6 years since the overwhelming survey response from British Columbians to eliminate the time change was due to waiting for the US West Coast states to do the same.

Now, BC has decided to push, and to lead by example.

Have you tried the new apple? It's called Juici. It's literally called Ludacrisp. It's called Zestar! It's literally called a Sundowner. You can probably find some SweeTangos. Dude it's a Snapdragon. It's a Pink Luster original. It's a SugarBee . You should try SugarBees. You can go to Publix and buy it. Go buy SugarBee right now. Go get SugarBee. Dive into SugarBee. SugarBee is what you want. SugarBee is what you want.

I just learned that I can use `...` as placeholder for unfinished code instead of `pass` in #python
`...` is a built-n object, and it's called the *Ellipsis*

Example: Instead of

def func():
pass

one could use the ellipsis like

def func():
...

it’s heartening to hear that more investment is going into Discover but it feels so long since anything improved on that front that it’s hard to believe it can get better at all. does it need to be burned down and rebuilt from scratch? or is there genuine incremental improvement possible?

The California age verification law imposes behaviour of application developers that I consider morally absurd.

As an application developer, I will never request any information from the OS or any other place to gather personal information about a user - especially if the act of that request has legal implications on what I am deemed to "know".

I simply won't.

Any system that enforces such a check, is a system I will not support.

the overall feeling from this is that Discover is still “stupid” in a way that For You isn’t. i understand that popular accounts are unavoidable, just like they were on Twitter. but both old Twitter algo and For You somehow manage to discern taste. Discover by comparison feels very undercooked

Okey, since I now can use #OpenBSD at work lets give #FreeBSD and Wayland a try on my old macbookpro 13.2 to see what works.

Good Idea: Make GrapheneOS Mainstream

https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/

Most people never get to choose a truly private phone, not because they don't care, but because the secure options always felt too technical or too niche. That's changing.

Motorola just announced a partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation! Bringing one of the most respected privacy-focused operating systems into the hands of everyday users.
No more choosing between security and a phone that just works.

i opened Discover for the first time in a while — again, some parts are good — but then every five posts there’s some political ragebait from complete randos (for me) who are popular here. i haven’t experienced this problem with For You in months! there are political posts but within my taste
