      @doc_sav 2 роки тому +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.
