What is Hackers' Pub?

[Monhun fan comic] Me an the weapon i like

The Charge blade is one of my favorite weapons (IG being the other one) but dear lord am i bad at it. Late game anomaly monsters get so fast that anytime i try to SAED, I get slapped in the face. Special shoutout to goss harag and aurora somnacanth. I can barely find an opening for SAEDs against them - Even when i perfect guard their last attack and i try to SAED, i get attacked again before I even land the attack. I know its possible because Ive seen players super skilled pull it off but I am not one of them TvT

I’m just going to say that pointing out flaws in $600 and $700 laptops and having people instinctively respond “it’s not for real users, these buyers don’t know/care” is gross. Why should we make the assumption that those buyers don’t still deserve better, or at least on par with the 6 year old product it’s replacing that sold at the same price. Stop assuming people who don’t spend $1000+ on tech are imbeciles or deserve subpar options. No one in 2026 deserves a laptop with a single USB 3 port.

Lmao.

Students or anyone who is the need for a free Linux Laptop?

We as Laptop Revive can provide one free of charge, no background checks. Just a friendly face and some basic agreements on paper and then we hand it over somewhere in the Netherlands.

Sounds like a miracle? No fact is that we already handed out more than 100 of them ! 🙂👍

See https://laptoprevive.nl for the details

Quimy de León (Indigenous journalist, alterNativa) reminds #msc26 how #Indymedia was born and how it continues to shape the journalism that best describes conflicts between Indigenous peoples and Big Tech:

*"Indymedia wanted to tell the story of that world beyond the big media conglomerates, proposing independent and alternative journalism. In Central America, it was no different: community journalism sought, from a situated perspective, to break the media siege."*

several months ago, a personal container of cocaine was found in the lobby. I didn't worry/care about whose stupid cocaine it was. But I am now envisioning that the bad neighbor is so defensive because they have an apartment absolutely crammed to the gills with cocaine. so much cocaine that they can't possibly hide it from a 20yo technician who has fifty-seven more apartments to connect today. they'll open the utility closet and be crushed by cocaine

RE: https://mastodon.social/@glyph/116172179294783146

"Is there a point to understanding things?" is, I think, the single biggest open question about Software Engineering as a discipline that has opened up over the last 18 months.

I expect it'll be answered in the affirmative, but
a) I don't think there'll be consensus on that for another 3 years
b) I don't think the people who are acting as if the negative is true will ever realise that that's what they think

Also: i talk up the idea of #Lemmy and #Mbin and #Piefed and the #Threadiverse in the idea on surfacing content...

Much of that idea was spurred by this from Piefed on it's potential feed format that can pull in multiple other community fediverse acocunts into one feed:

https://join.piefed.social/2025/04/30/how-piefed-federates-feeds-aka-multi-reddits-or-multi-comms/

And would love to hear what @rimu thinks of my riffing on this for discovery fedi wide, and if he had notes.

Well put: “To conclude this wrapup of my #indieweb experience in 2025: more than ever, I still regard the open web as my online home. There are communities I feel like I belong to within it — like the 'open social' community, the Mastodon community, the Eleventy community, etc. Maybe there will eventually be a Cybercultural community! (1/2)

@stefanStefan Bohacek - 👆how hard would it be to create “server bots” as I describe in this? For mastodon you already have json from public feed via API… was thinking it would functionally be a boosting bot like Newsmast community feeds - such as @breakingnewsBreaking News Channel but be just for each server’s public posts, with admin moderation, etc

Andrew "buinnie" Huang's Dabao, which I wrote about back in January, is now crowdfunding: under $10 (plus shipping, admittedly) for a microcontroller board built around the Baochip-1x - a #RISCV part with "mostly open RTL," and packaged in a way you can peer beneath the silicon's surface with an infrared torch and a modified inspection camera.
