    • @doc_sav
      @doc_sav 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @Not Convinced If you want my opinion, it all stems from the ideal that information should be free to all, which is sort of a core ethic (which I agree with). That extrapolates into a lot of other things that happen to fall more into the left's political spectrum. As to why there are no right wing hacktavists... well, I am not a hacker, but I work in the software development industry and I can say I don't talk much about my conservative opinions with peers because they are not viewed as acceptable, and generally in the minority.
      Why that is... Well there are a ton of socio-political reasons, but to be very brief, the culture of universities over the last 25 years or so, the demographics of people who spend a lot of time online, and the type of people that others in this line of work grew up admiring or who were very successful.

    I love this and resonate with it immensely; a misfit, delinquent, who left school while I was still 14, skateboarded, broke into empty industrial buildings to skate & explore, mucked around with low level hacking. I never had the brains of someone like KingPin, though I had the exact same approach to all things in life and work and I know what he means when he says you can't teach the hacker mindset - I developed it as part of the environment I was exposed to. It's inspiring to see this; as I'm in my mid-life now and want to bring back that core, that youthful curiosity and sense of adventure, that family, kids, a mortgage has slowly eroded.

    Man! You have the life I dreamed about being a kid. Skateboard, rock band and hacking. I was into skateboarding, played in punk rock band and found hackers so cool but I didn’t have your brain capacities, being lazy also maybe. I just was the one finding warez games and crack for my friends so I could bring new games for everyone to enjoy. I wished to be surrounded by friends being hackers so I could learn from them but I was on my own.
    Anyhow, not trying to find excuses for not being an hacker.
    I just want to say it seems you had a great life so far, you must have had a lot of fun. Congratulations for being one a kind.

    Got suspended from school once for hacking into the system because I was bored. Told the substitute teacher I would and did not try to hide it. Was a time before much internet. Teacher was an engineer. He wrote the security. One guy does not think of all the simple back doors. I was exploring and learning. Never tried to damage anything. We did get an advanced computers course the next year. I did once put a companies system into a processing loop that took over a day. I made a report to prove I was making the company more money than any other tech. Did not notice how slow that system was until it was to late. They thought it was someone else. I made the report for everyone to help hide who it was. I never used the report. I went on my own a few weeks later. I did have proof I was the most profitable tech the company had. I didn't want to work for liars, so why even bring it up. This may be the first time I have told this. 12 years later??
