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.

If enough Canadians contact
their local representatives, as well Mark Carney's office this week, we might be spared from this authoritarian mass-surveillance measure called "Age Verification" in Canada.

Privacy is a human right essential to safety and democracy. If we do not fight to protect it, we will lose it.

WordPress Everywhere

As we announced and TechCrunch covered, my.wordpress.net has soft-launched. What this means is you need to fundamentally shift how you think about WordPress. From the beginning, WordPress has always been open source, giving you freedom, liberty, autonomy, and digital sovereignty. Open source is the most powerful idea of our generation. For the past few decades, WordPress was software you got from a cloud provider or web host, such as…

you mean to tell me, the guy who knew of ’s tax deductions on his child trafficking plane, breeding ranch and rape island ―whilst seemingly not having a “real” job or even a real business― wasn’t aware of his employer’s crimes?

소학관 문제 터지자마자 한다는 얘기가 성범죄는 나쁜짓임 이라고 한마디 못해서 전과자는 만화를 그리면 안되는가 전과자의 재사회화 운운하고 만화가에게 청렴결백을 바라느냐 하고 별얘기 다나오던거 생각남. 성범죄는 나쁨 하면 안됨. 이게 어려운가. 청렴결백까지 가야 할 이야기야?

Which was really fucked up to see: These folks actually want to protect their organizations from burning a lot of resources on bullshit instead of fixing actual problems that help the workers _and_ the organization. And they have to actively fight management who got their brains ruined on linkedin.

But it was super fun to lead them through a "this is how you can force reasonable evaluation on 'AI' projects which kills most of them" framework and see how they felt empowered and able to actually do their job again.

Spend the day talking to workers council members about "AI". And it's kinda wild hearing their stories from the wild: Management is 100% in fantasy "AI" can do everything land and makes huge plans for how to use "AI" to cut workers when real projects that supposedly can do 50% of a specific task end up being able to do 8%. And they still go live. It's fucking bonkers. CEO's are really not okay.

イラン小学校爆撃したミサイルに「Made in USA」…高まる米国への批判世論 : 日本•国際 : ハンギョレ新聞
japan.hani.co.kr/arti/internat

”10日(現地時間)、イラン国営放送(IRIB)はミナブの小学校に落下したミサイルの残骸の写真を公開した。写真を見ると、駆動装置(アクチュエーター)と推定される破片に「Made in USA」という文言とともに「グローブ・モーターズ」という製造会社名が記されている。

 ニューヨーク・タイムズ紙は、別の破片に米国防総省が2014年に発注契約を結んだことを示すコード番号が記されており、製造元欄には防衛関連米企業「ボール・エアロスペース・アンド・テクノロジーズ」の社名が記載されていたと報じた。また「衛星データリンクアンテナ」(SDL ANTENNA)という表示もあるが、これはトマホークミサイルの最新バージョンに搭載された通信システムの一部を意味する。米陸軍出身の爆発物処理専門家のトレバー・ボール氏(調査団体ベリングキャット所属)は、これらの部品がトマホークミサイルの一部だと同紙に語った。”

A large majority agreed that:
✅ Mass surveillance of private communications by Big Tech companies is not allowed, and any intrusion into people’s right to confidential communications needs to be based on reasonable suspicion;
✅ End-to-end encrypted communications cannot be weakened or undermined.

伊メローニ氏、米国イスラエルのイラン攻撃を批判:朝日新聞
asahi.com/articles/ASV3C73G0V3

”イタリアのメローニ首相は11日、上院で演説し、米国とイスラエルによるイラン攻撃について、「国際法の範囲外」の介入だったと批判した。「イタリアはこの介入に参加しておらず、参加する意思もない」とも強調し、米・イスラエルの軍事行動から距離を置く姿勢を示した。

 トランプ米大統領と親しい関係を築いているとされるメローニ氏は、国際秩序が崩壊しつつある状況に直面していると言及。「国際法の範囲外で実施される一方的な介入が増えている中、米国とイスラエルによるイランへの介入もこれに位置づけなければいけない」と述べた。”

all of those companies are framing mass firings as “AI productivity gains”, when in reality they’re correcting their hyperscale hiring decisions.

all while “AI” fails to realise any improvements, but hey it’s a much better story.

♥️ to those affected.
