What is Hackers' Pub?

Welcome to today's thread - #CrossBorderRail 2026 Tour Day 13 - 12 Mar - Trieste - Milano - Zürich - Dijon - Ravières

New borders:
None

Borders already crossed:
Chiasso VG 🇨🇭 - Como S. Giovanni 🇮🇹
Basel St Johann 🇨🇭 - St. Louis 🇫🇷

Trieste to Ravières in a day. But due to France having such lousy timetables, this routes through Switzerland. It is ages since I crossed northern Italy by train, so I am looking forward to these trips!

충북교육청 장학관이 식당 화장실에 불법촬영 카메라를 설치했다가 체포됐습니다. 경찰은 장학관의 추가 범행 여부도 수사하기로 했습니다. 충북 교육·시민단체는 장학관 파면과 윤건영 충북교육감의 공개 사과를 촉구했습니다.

I'm writing this in English.

Not because English is my first language—it isn't. I'm writing this in English because if I wrote it in Korean, the people I'm addressing would run it through an outdated translator, misread it, and respond to something I never said. The responsibility for that mistranslation would fall on me. It always does.

This is the thing Eugen Rochko's post misses, despite its good intentions.

@GargronEugen Rochko argues that LLMs are no substitute for human translators, and that people who think otherwise don't actually rely on translation. He's right about some of this. A machine-translated novel is not the same as one rendered by a skilled human translator. But the argument rests on a premise that only makes sense from a certain position: that translation is primarily about quality, about the aesthetic experience of reading literature in another language.

For many of us, translation is first about access.

The professional translation market doesn't scale to cover everything. It never has. What gets translated—and into which languages—follows the logic of cultural hegemony. Works from dominant Western languages flow outward, translated into everything. Works from East Asian languages trickle in, selectively, slowly, on someone else's schedule. The asymmetry isn't incidental; it's structural.

@GargronEugen Rochko notes, fairly, that machine translation existed decades before LLMs. But this is only half the story, and which half matters depends entirely on which languages you're talking about. European language pairs were reasonably serviceable with older tools. Korean–English, Japanese–English, Chinese–English? Genuinely usable translation for these pairs arrived with the LLM era. Treating “machine translation” as a monolithic technology with a uniform history erases the experience of everyone whose language sits far from the Indo-European center.

There's also something uncomfortable in the framing of the button-press thought experiment: “I would erase LLMs even if it took machine translation with it.” For someone whose language has always been peripheral, that button looks very different. It's not an abstract philosophical position; it's a statement about whose access to information is expendable.

I want to be clear: none of this is an argument that LLMs are good, or that the harms @GargronEugen Rochko describes aren't real. They are. But a critique of AI doesn't become more universal by ignoring whose languages have always been on the margins. If anything, a serious critique of AI's political economy should be more attentive to those asymmetries, not less.

The fact that I'm writing this in English, carefully, so it won't be misread—that's not incidental to my argument. That is my argument.

웹툰 그림작가 교체는 보통 둘 중 하나임 1. 작가가 더는 못 버텼음 - 스튜디오가 요구하는 퀄리티 맞춰가며 주간 연재로 넘기다가 몸과 정신이 박박 갈려서 중지, 창작노동 강도에 비해 급여가 말도 안 되는 수준이라 해당 계약으로 생계 유지가 불가능해짐, 혹은 둘 다임. 아무튼 당장 사람이 죽게 생겨서 리타이어. 2. 스튜디오가 돈 더 안 쓰려함 - 시즌별 작가 교체로는 이 이유도 많음. 작품이 잘 풀려 수입이 잘 나오거나 시즌 단위로 계약 갱신하는데 기존 작가의 작업 단가를 올려주기 싫거나 깎고 싶어서 돈 덜 드는 작가로 교체.

It is the ten year anniversary of my PyConUS 2016 keynote. I had hoped to attend this year to visit old friends and make new ones.

With no corporate sponsor, the cost in money, time, and effort is too much. My cancer treatment will not end until July. While my daily chemo drugs are self administered, they are considered hazardous. The rules tell me that they must be under lock and key while traveling.

No matter how I fiddle numbers, the logistics just don't work out.

Maybe 2027 will be my year.

Es ist seit fast 2,5 Jahren bekannt, dass #Microsoft sich beim "neuen #Outlook" ...

⚠️ die Zugangsdaten von Mailkonten, wohlgemerkt von welchen die bei anderen Providern liegen, speichert

⚠️ beim Mailabruf die Mails über die eigenen Server schleust, wobei unklar ist ob sie dabei den Inhalt "verarbeiten" (z.B. auch für KI), die Metadaten "verarbeiten", ...

... und irgendwie scheint sich das nicht herum gesprochen zu haben, oder es ist den Konteninhabern total egal, ich weiß es nicht 🤷. Aktuelle Analyse, auf einem System von #eduBW, zeigt klar die Nutzung des "neuen Outlook", trotz Schulungsunterlagen auf #Thunderbird-Basis 😟.

Liebe Kolleg:innen, stellt das ein, verbreitet dieses Wissen, schult eure Schüler:innen, ... . #DigitaleSouveränität geht anders! 🤦‍♂️

This is call for all moderators of Mastodon instances with open registration policy: let's cooperate, let's fight botnets together. We can share mail domains and blocked IP addresses.

I am trying to keep registrations open for the next big wave of Mastodon migration, which I believe is inevitable.

There are very few actual humans, willing to do some sustained harm - most of the malicious activity are bots. And we can track where they register and operate from. Ultimately, we can learn who is doing this shit and who pays for it...
