What is Hackers' Pub?

🚗 Une étude de la Japan Automobile Federation a observé le comportement des automobilistes lorsqu’un piéton attend à un passage piéton. Résultat : 🇯🇵 Japon : environ 90 % des conducteurs s’arrêtent pour laisser traverser. 🇫🇷 France : environ 35 %.

It should be socially acceptable to play possum in public, when you hit your limit. If you're curled up in the corner, because you got overstimulated, I'll bring you a blanket and a snack.

Kornelkirsche. Als Sorte. Und Hochstamm. Mal schauen, was das gibt.

Linken-Chef Jan van Aken hat den CDU-Spitzenkandidaten von Baden-Württemberg, Herrn Manuel Hagel, in der ARD eben live als "Pfeife" bezeichnet. Dies ist eine in Worte gefasste Ehrkränkung und verbale Herabwürdigung eines gewählten Volksvertreters unseres Landes, der ich auf das Heftigste zustimme.

If an AI can go to school for you what’s the point of going to school? For Advait Paliwal, Brown dropout and co-creator of Einstein, it's just like horses. “They used to pull carriages, but when cars came around, I'd argue horses became a lot more free."

the current pointless discourse on Bluesky is the LLM consciousness silliness, so I want you all to read this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Searle#Artificial_intelligence

now did I read Searle and form my opinions from that? not at all! I had the same exact view as him totally independently. and as you all know I'm quirky smart, so QED

Women’s civic engagement has long unsettled powerful men. The suffrage movement, the civil rights era, and debates over voting access has required women to confront entrenched power. We are not retreating.

it is actually wild that we live in a society where literal criminals are walking around free, but i have to hand over my Gov issued id and age verification docs just to download an os or use social media. it feels like common sense just doesn't exist anymore. please, some org or lawyers drag these thugs to court and stretch things out. i am tired of this bullshit.

Instead of wishing us Happy International Women's Day, stop harming us with violence, trying to control us, taking away our rights, and killing us.

P.S. Send a woman you know a lot of money today, fund their projects, support their work, every day.

losing my own theory of mind when it comes to people talking about LLMs having minds

I spent half an hour this afternoon wondering why the switch I'd just installed didn't work.

Turns out I'd wired it wrong on the first attempt, tripped the RCD, and I hadn't noticed everything downstairs was off when I checked different configurations.

That's enough DIY for me for today.

I've been extraordinarily privileged and lucky to have stumbled off some of the common paths earlier in life and start on a path of being worthy of having amazing women in my life. To say my life would be diminished with out all the amazing women in my life is an understatement, my life would be nothing.

I'd like the dudes on this international women's day, even those posting about it, to do a quick look around of their lives, take stock. Are there a lot of women in your circles and spaces? If not, now might be a great time to reflect on that and start asking questions and thinking about changes you could make to improve that.

This #Plushtodon, a recent immigrant to Canada, is checking out our Mastodon feed. How did they get my password?
They are excitedly looking for updates on how our community is convincing politicians to dump U.S. based social media and join the #Fediverse. It's almost like they have a vested interest in your activities and efforts. Hmm....

It would probably be really good for the ecosystem if @Mastodon was explicit about reuse and reimplementation of its API.

In particular, a license or IP non-assertion pledge that says, as far as Mastodon is concerned, anyone can clone their API in a new implementation, regardless of code license, and Mastodon won't assert patent, trademark, copyright, or other rights against them.

hey seattle pals! #seattle #pnw #ballard

Letzte Woche wurde meinen Kindern und mir überraschend gekündigt und wir müssen bis Ende September ausgezogen sein.

Ich suche jetzt eine 3-Zimmer-Wohnung in Berlin, kalt bis ca. 600 Euro. Wer was hört, gerne an mich, auch wenn teurer. WBS wird beantragt. Wir sind Nichtraucher und ruhig.
Der Nestling geht nahe Lankwitz Kirche zur Schule, das würde ich gerne irgendwie beibehalten, zur Not würden wir aber auch die Schule wechseln.

Bitte teilen, da dringend.

I should know enough trans people, autists, and retrocomp geeks to get useful information out of this question.

Tragically, with the current state of web search, this is less a matter of "lazy google" and more of an example of "We have unjustly slain the librarian."

Does anyone have any good resources on computing in the soviet union in the 70s and 80s that isn't just Skala? I'm getting way too obsessive about a writing problem.

I am especially interested in anything where a user interface becomes relevant: ICS workstations, desktop computers, the whole bit.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your help I am SWIMMING in new threads to pull on now.
