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.

@codinghorrorJeff Atwood I saw this post today while having a smoke break out front of work. Never heard of it, no idea what it was about. I just finished watching it (after finding out how tf to watch it in Aus) and what an excellent recommendation! Fantastic documentary and very moving. Just reminded me of all those moments in silicon valley (tv series) when they would say "being too early is basically the same as being wrong".

Will everyone have to share their age to exist on the internet in the future? It’s a trap: strong enforcement of age rules undermines data privacy. https://spectrum.ieee.org/age-verification?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

This is a long shot, but is there anyone here who is signed up for marketing emails by leatherspa.com? Did you see this illustration get used in late January or early February?
My invoice has not been paid for illustration/design work I did in January and I am being ghosted by the design contractor for it. I am gathering information before I pursue other options.

Kommt 19:00 in Wien heute und morgen in der ZiB um 09:00. Wir haben gute Fotos vom Dach. Und die muss ich jetzt auswerten. Spoiler. Die haben neben 8 Dishes auch eine Luftraumüberwachungsanlage da oben. In 1220 hammas im Herbst erwischt wie sie neue Schüsseln montiert haben, gibt 1 Kurzvideo davon.
Enttäuscht, aber nicht überrascht:
New in systemd 260-rc3 though is now having a AGENTS.md file in the Git archive for helping out AI agents scraping the systemd code. ...
AGENTS.md is also cited in a new CLAUDE.md file as a helper for Claude Code.

The age-assurance industry shouldn't exist.
Stop age verification now, and tell your governments and service providers they cannot trust these predatory corporations.

(I promised to link "dirty south" rap this week and wait, are Timbaland and Missy *dirty south* or just south? They're from like, Virginia. In retrospect this clique, and the ATL/NOLA/Houston cluster, seem like separate but parallel currents: a group of hip hop artists comes out of the US south doing something fundamentally new and changes the way music sounds.
Anyway at least it *feels*, and felt at the time, fundamentally southern. All those cricket samples.)

LLM slop is just one part of the broader systemd/Linux sloperating system.

Bernie has gone full on "super intelligent AI could become smarter than human beings" and "pose an existential threat to the entire human race." 😫
Literal quote from him. Dude was supposed to be the guy against Silicon Vally CEOs not the one who parrots their propaganda.

There's literally only one thing that could convert me into a systemd hater overnight, and here we are.
What I'm listening to today: "Ghetto D", Master P
Master P put No Limit Records on the map, and made New Orleans the new capital of southern hip hop, with "Ghetto Dope", an *incredibly* catchy step-by-step guide to the production, distribution, and sale of crack cocaine. This unstoppable hit could not possibly get played on the radio, leading to this *incredibly* funny radio edit which is cut up to almost near illegibility making it sound like "Ghetto D" is a rapper
What I'm listening to today: "Writtin´ Rhymes", Timbaland and Magoo
This album dropped in the aftermath of clique co-leader Missy Elliot's "The Rain" going off like a bomb, and had like three huge hits on it, but basically no track on this album misses so I want to play you one of the lesser tracks that never got radio play. Timb and Missy became such huge multidecade cultural forces it's easy to forget when they were *hungry*, just obscure kids who produced for Alliyah
Hiya! Anyone in the SF Bay Area/Remote need a cool programmer for your team? I've been messing with computers for over 30 years now, I can program anything with bits, and I've got a lot of experience with all sorts of different systems, environments, and languages.
I've done mostly CI/CD/devops/SRE stuff recently, but I also do embedded software, some hardware, primary development, tooling, etc.

I mean, I see no reason why this wouldn't work. `alsoKnownAs` is an array of names.
I suppose if Alice is following both Bob and Chuck, then B & C are merged into Dave, she won't "double follow".
But I wonder if there are any other gotchas?
Three different #ActivityPub spec guides - three different answers!

A question about #ActivityPub account migration.
Is it possible to use it to combine multiple accounts into one?
That is, can I `movedTo` all my old accounts to one new account, and set *several* `alsoKnownAs` on my new account's actor?

Just another example of why #DigitalIndependance is so important, and why GMail Gemini shenanigans drove me to Proton Mail. The tech bros don't take no for an answer. You are getting #AI and you will love it.

Liberals flipped Wisconsin’s supreme court in 2023, gaining a 4-3 majority that they defended last year in an extravagantly expensive election bankrolled by Elon Musk. A liberal win this year could expand that majority, and secure it until 2030.

In case you need to hear it, burnout is a structural outcome, not a personal failure. It’s OK to stop. 🫂
"AI"
Lol, "AI" makes you literally sick:
"We found […] cognitive exhaustion from intensive oversight of AI agents […]. We call it “AI brain fry,” which we define as mental fatigue from excessive use or oversight of AI tools beyond one’s cognitive capacity. […] a mental fog with difficulty focusing, slower decision-making, and headaches. […] increased employee errors, decision fatigue, and intention to quit."
