What is Hackers' Pub?

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.

Die Österreichische Gesundheitskasse (ÖGK) plant einen bundesweiten Ausbau der Telemedizin. Scharfe Kritik kommt dazu von der Kurie der niedergelassenen Ärztinnen und Ärzte in Niederösterreich.

FYI: In der Monarchie waren Kurien Abteilungen, in denen Wähler nach ihrem Stand und Vermögen eingeordnet waren.

what the—and I cannot stress this enough—absolute fuck:

"...sensitive and personal footage captured by [Meta Smart Glasses]—including people going to the bathroom, getting dressed, and having sex—is being reviewed by contractors who see all of it uncensored."

Some days I wish j could just turn it off and not care. But the rot extends—predictably—deep into tech leaders.

And if only it was just their software leaking and spilling into Europe. That would be “easy” to remove. But it’s their mindset too, and their unhinged desire to see it all burn and return to tribalism while they laugh all the way to the bank.

Their hate of EU is now interfering with the laws of the continent we live on and threatening to break it up.

The same Thiel winking at the idea of Brexit, who also explains why democracy and freedom are incompatible in mainstream financial papers and journals.

In 2025, Big Tech—just ten major companies—spent €49 million lobbying Brussels. That’s more than pharma, finance, and automotive combined.

Google funds all sixteen major European think tanks shaping EU policy. Not *some* of them. All of them. Amazon and Meta fund most of the rest.

This is no longer “poor old me, I need a bit of help,” this is full regulatory capture. With a view to becoming even more embedded into businesses and governments, and getting whatever favorable legislation passed or diluted to suit them.

Reminder:

There's no such thing as being a little bit traitorous, a little bit anti-human, a little bit genocidal, a little bit Nazi.

You commit certain acts and there's no going back. Yes, you may conceivably make reparations, take steps towards never doing it again, even denounce it in others, but there's no undoing the harm.

Does this make me some kind of absolutist? Maybe. Do I care? Watch me, assholes.

Dear French-speaking Fedi friends,

I have a favor to ask you:

Could you please complete this survey by @cercleReseauCulture.fr - the test fediverse instance set up by the French Ministry of Culture?

🔗 : framaforms.org/mastodonfediver

It would help them understand what are your wishes and expectations when it comes to fediverse accounts run by cultural institutions.

The survey is totally anonymous and takes a few minutes to fill out.

Thanks!

And please boost 🚀

🟢 Cryptpad.fr is now operating the new server and appears to be running smoothly. We will be monitoring the situation very closely throughout the day, especially as the Americas come online which is usually the daily usage peak. 🙏 Thanks everyone for your patience this morning!

Yes I'm the pirate, pilot
Of this ship if I get with the ultraviolet dream
Hide from the red light beam
Now do you believe in the unseen?
Look, but don't make you eyes strain
A nigga like me is going insane
Insane in the membrane
Insane in the brain

路傍小芸術

新潟市美術館開館40周年記念の展覧会で、
・松田ペット
・越後川口SA手書きポスター
・お品書き
・新潟地震の記録
・新潟銭湯展
・北越奇談
・架空線工房のポスター
・或る3人の画家
・地下駐車場の壁画
などといった、県内や近隣地域に日常的にあったものや歴史などを集めたもので見ごたえがありました。
松田ペットは別室にドン!とお部屋が用意されていて部屋の真ん中の椅子で看板眺め放題で楽しい。
越後川口SAの手書きポスター、前に話題になってるの見たけど、タイポグラフィ好きとしては本当にツボに入る美しいデザインで、車出来た人達に今月は県内こういうのがありますよってお知らせ頑張ってたんだなって。
新潟地震は節目でニュース番組などで特集組まれていたけど、当時の新聞記事読むと空気感がまた違いますね。地震の様子を記録した小学生の木版画、うちの親と世代があまり変わらない人達だったので、本人来て「これ、おれのやつだ」ってなったりしてくれないかな。親から度々言われていた事で家からコンビナートの火災の煙が見えていたというのがあり、当時の写真のスライドでかなり遠くの場所の畑で黒煙がもくもく上がってるのがあり、親が言ってたのはこれかと。夜になると煙の中の赤い炎が見えてたそうです。

@wackJackleWeltzeitgeist out of interest: is the problem that its meta (and the massive privacy problem) or the "smart" glasses by themselves?

this would be something, if properly working as free soft/hardware, that I would love to play around with, cutting out all the privacy violating stuff.

it its the glasses themselves, can you elaborate?

We, as a society, have to bully all people who wear those glasses. They have to be excluded form all social gatherings and we have to make fun of them everywhere they go.

But why THE FUCK are Meta workers watch the material? Ah, it's Meta. Of course, they're watching.

With Microslop having deprecated the Intellicode auto-completion extension in and sooner or later forcing everyone to use cloud-based instead, are there any other users who're not interested in switching to Copilot and if so what non-AI based alternatives are you seeing/using? I'm very tempted going back to using Emacs, but it's been years and I've never used TypeScript with it. Grateful for any advice or insights (not limited to Emacs only)!
