What is Hackers' Pub?

Hey kids, in the olden days you bought (instead of “rented”) software and it came in a box with a disc and it was yours to use forever!

You can use aliases to decrease the amount of typing you need to do to get
commands you commonly use. Examples of fairly popular aliases include (in
Bourne shell style, as in /bin/sh, bash, ksh, and zsh):

alias lf="ls -FA"
alias ll="ls -lA"
alias su="su -m"

In csh or tcsh, these would be

alias lf ls -FA
alias ll ls -lA
alias su su -m

To remove an alias, you can usually use 'unalias aliasname'. To list all
aliases, you can usually type just 'alias'.

Reminder that boosting on the #forkiverse is free, costs zero energy, and is the single best thing you can do to help someone's post reach people who actually want to see it. Don't just fav, BOOST.

a few of you on here are like, actually doing real politics work in the actual world. and it's great. love to see it. i am not and have not. and posting isn't praxis. i want to sit with the uncomfortableness that i'm not, rather than pretending i am by smashing that repost button

i used to politics post A LOT and don't do it in the same way now, not because my politics have changed at all (in my opinion), but because i kinda maybe sorta think Posting has been a bad thing for leftism

Part of the challenge with managing energy and motivation in programming is that sometimes, you can be on a roll getting things done, and suddenly your tools or environment just break spectacularly and derail you.

Like if you’re a carpenter, in the middle of building a table, and all of a sudden the hammer disappears from your hand and someone’s like “There’s no table, what are you talking about” and it’s still RIGHT THERE and what the heck happened to the hammer?!

That was my last 2 hours. 🤣

Esotericism in general is more or less a puzzle campaign to keep smart or aspirational (but otherwise average) people invested in religion. It's like the "new game plus" mode of theology. You cared enough about scripture to find the contradictions? Congratulations, you're not like those other church-goers! Put on this apron and join our secret club!

So then the masonic mythos specifically ties "traditional" ideals of social and family structure (patriarchy, more or less) to progressive values like restraining power with law and a secular democracy, promoting individual liberty and diversity, etc.

So it's got all of these juicy cultural hooks for people who would otherwise be white supremacists and it uses that structure to steer them towards a liberal, secular civil society and away from the doomsday cult (evangelicalism).

Which is why it's so interesting to me that modern day US freemasons are frequently MAGA: somewhere along the way they lost the plot and now they're all on team Theocratic Dictatorship

I should add something to this, to make it a more fair assessment.

The FOSS movement as it stands today is inherently unsustainable. A dangerous burnout zone for those seeking income here. See the unbalance in this article:

https://www.heise.de/en/news/Harvard-study-Open-source-has-an-economic-value-of-8-8-trillion-dollars-10322643.html

If we take out the people having the privilege of time and money, what options does a person who wants to earn their living with Free Software have, roughly speaking?

1. Donations, sponsors, grants.
2. Dabble in FOSS as side-quest to a job.
3. Attempt "regular business practices".

1) isn't really sustainable as is proven time and again, 2) isn't earning a living with FOSS really, and 3) is the only option that is left. We all live under hypercapitalism and here is where our sustenance must come from.

Linux Foundation not only follows 3) but also focuses on 'professional packaging' of FOSS such that corporations are prepared to pay decent prices for it.

Different perspective. But with money, greed creeps in too.

The @IJFmediaThe IJF has found Surrey Speak’s content appears to be largely AI-generated and is laden with factual inaccuracies.

The website also published AI-generated imagery based on real events, including an altered portrait of a murder victim. Zak Vescera reports. #CdnMedia

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. your question is a cognitive dissonance for me.

Firstly, I've only ever experienced Google+ circles in an environment where the participants are similar to LinkedIn, posting about professional topics and/or corporate syncophacy. They are a good way to seal yourself into an echo chamber/bubble, even within that type of discourse

Secondly, influencer social media always feels more like people pitching their point of view or hot take or maybe just themselves. It's about collecting follower count for credibility. Fedi mostly isn't like that but there are some.

Lastly, I'm in the US, right now with political situation there is necessarily disruption and shouting and points to be made. (Some of them might even be correct!). But it does affect social media experience; it would probably make matters worse to increase the echo chamber effects.

I did some experiments a couple of months ago.

ChatGPT/Codex would produce code that compiled and worked, but absolutely ignored glaring issues.

Claude was insistant that by doing this ornate graph-coloring thing we could get better bounds on computation, ignoring that it had to redo the graph-coloring on every iteration and so the whole thing was accidentally quadratic.

Also lots of just subtle issues, or outright technically-correct-but-truly bizarre decisions.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
