computer fraud and abuse act, its uh

people getting sentenced to 10 yrs on some tiny actions

perhap :з

usually the wrong people, it was more commonly heavily charges mid 90s to 00s, now it depends but peeps also get copyright charges; its weird

though these kind of charges being punished more than child abuse ones is messed up

>>364084
ye

yea, also is much of the reason many pieces of media are still existent at all

( ´･･)ﾉ(._.`)

hope you can unwind for or in a bit maybe, is tough n feel that hough; have cptsd from er my own lot of dumb shit

bwaa

maybe for the best if it helps in times like these -u-

ah, yeah, understandable

yh

o7 welp, nice to meet peeps n take care -v-

x <3

>>364126
also, not true

its a spectrum in terms of places online

also to do with how or if the power is centralized, the ruleset & social contract there, etc

can be a lot more burdensome to vulnerable peeps who need to care for themselves, & being around other ppl who might not be the best for them at the time

particularly for anyone on ie 4chs lgbt or so on

>>364139
yep

yea, the scene here is the only reason i consider browsing

generally, yeah

having a sort of social darwinism be what guides people with what to say can make people really not react well, particularly when things on the hub are toxic or aggressive

also, a lot of judgement

<lurk more, [redacted]

guh

also the attention they gain, due to the social darwinism thing in combo w that n other factors

the only threads that stick around are things that grab attention, they need to be errr

its a constant sense of competition, making them feel they're having to be or are aggressive etc

its a mix of things, but due to the way the system works, extreme ideas can flourish more under those conditions

yeah

thats the darwinism part, it was a harmful theory applied to social situations still seen on 4ch n such

and xitter now

especially since moderation there is worse

yeah, also there being algos in control of such

this reminds me of a luddite chat i was here for months ago

convo abt it basically, not luddite only lel

nw lelol

i enjoy talking abt changing the incentives in it, but the ways i see it gone into by ie anprims makes me so guh, cus well

being disabled & the idea of 'going back' would mean well killing a ton of ppl

eugenics esc even though many wouldnt realize or think abt how it would function

i didnt want to dive into it, but yes, it would basically be ending capitalism for that; other than smaller changes like decentralizing platforms n so on

yea

there are changes & improvements — or the equivelant of reforms — that could be made, but it's tough in the current state of things

yeah, & the idea that there's inherently a difference between/that the internet isn't 'real'

I mostly hear it from relatively older ppl & so on who discount things that are serious, but happened or started online

but when you talk to them or ask certain questions, usually they can't defend that position

yea lol

I mainly get reminded of it when I see/hear IRL

it also is reminding me rn of the time the Australian fed tried to ban pron cus they said that small booba women would make men interested in kids

lmao

ill find it

can we post links here, i forget

there's a quote telling this specific part of the story in Cybernews doc interviewing Greg Housh, but there's also a lot of articles on the anon response in "OpTitstorm" so

guh

theres a famous quote from housh's now wife, I forget how it goes exactly n gives me an excuse to watch part of that bwaa

("""famous""")

yeah, cybernews can be cringe w some of their stuff but the interview — ill find the timestamp — is p gud

around 27:20 is when this ref comes up

lmao

shall we burn books too is crazy with how things have become

nah, US midwest, pain

lel, I think they have sooome stuff like the book stuff 'here' but not on the level of the US, especially since the reaction to this admin

yeah, I did independent conflict aid stuff w some people from there but hearing some of the influence campaigns using them made me dip

peter thiel esc groups using them to attack US foreign policy targets n all

tho seeing some of them organizing rn to do stuff recently n on mayday has been nice

they dont get nearly as much attention n have been de-prioritized in algo sites

but they put out a press release/video in january & i forget the name hm

the exposing of the fed insiders was done a lot by Brown, recommend his recent stuff; he was one of the peeps who got — i think, like a decade — prison time for '''hacking'''

that, or leaking charges, i forget specifically what he got but he was put in one of those like

courts that charge you for, whats the word, something like a tribunal esc thing by nsa or intelligence fed

lel yeah

he wrote a memoir about all the dumb shit he did & what lead into his real journalism n leaking/cooperation to leak int community docs, n then how they raided him etc

ah, the current one against authoritarianism esc stuff is OpDreadNought

opdreadnought.com — they have protest resources on security culture n so on

yeah

I just went to check their socials, they're a splinter ish thing

not at all touched the site myself

(he leaked windows 95 before it came out before anon stuff)

lmao, yeah same

the Barrett Brown memoir is about that a lot, it's literally called my glorious defeats so yk

lmao

I don't think so but imagine

ah that might be

sejiofvhnhxsdvggxd

I remember knowing a kid who got suspended for having hackertype open in school

the teachers took it so seriously, it was funny but also like wtf

>meanwhile im bypassing all of the filters

lol

yeah

we had one of the pilot — POS, cheap — chromebook programs n i remember having a few kids pay me to jailbreak ish them after they failed n we had to get new ones

.stop

guh

yeah, theres been so many err

scandals w politicians over there in the decade following, usually not of that exact kind but yk

lel

ah no, am US

just talk abt some strange AU thing from 2010

zzz

Bellingcat is basically if you took journalism & made it work like open source, where you have to provide how you got that info using OSINT & community research; they were the ones who proved/figured out what RU had done in the case of them shooting down the passenger flight MH17

oh ye

(didnt see, guh)

I document things & the info from various places on threats to communities & document things like cybercrime by the worst types of people who are hurting others n so on

(if i had the moral code that allowed me to be a fed, i wouldnt be broke as a disabled person rn tbh)

:з

lol

I wish I could disability rn or such

yea

lel, i live w family — for the moment — but try to earn how I can by selling n repairing gear/+electronics n stuffs

yeah, I wanna get further into doing that eventually as modding n selling modded stuff is more stable in this sorta thing

lel

( >`>)

ahh

it's somewhat time consuming to become good at, but you can do so functionally if you have the stuff for it n so on

I should probs learn at some point but have essential tremors

with a lot of care lel, they arent too bad n i can do some to mitiagte it; but doing smth like welding is a bit higher in resk

risk*

ye, taking some time to learn the basics even online n getting smth used can be good for that to see how you feel abt it

welding i feel is more so for giant stuff unless youre building smth, but in my case i mostly fix obscure stuff i can find used, or resell/trade gear

mostly stuff i or peeps use for writing or music productions

production*

if its a mainstream phone, seeing wh the guide is n difficulty, n using an old phone can be good to start learning

have stuff like 3 alphasmarts i need to list to resell when i have the energy

(basically digital typewriter/wordproccessor)s

goob morbing

lel, not exactly keyboards, like

yeah

>>364333
whoa, it's such a cute piece of hardware omg

lel, yeah they were made for students n those w disabilities or health stuff that makes handwriting difficult

i hab an electric typewriter i use for some stuff, wanna find one of the uhh whats the model — theres some rare ones from later on that had screens n the ibm model m keys

yeah, it depends for me on the thing, but i generally write most stuff on a computer n all now

need to buy a mechanical keyboard i can use again, i have a AT plug one but no converter guh

yeah, those are nice & would love one, but theyre like 1000+

& yeah, thats kinda the issue, its so niche n marketed like a rich writers apple product

i think those are 400~ ? i forget, but theres also uhh

lel

>>364352
