I feel like having technologically weak education systems are entrapment for people like this.
You put these kids in a cage (school) with other abusive children and then make them interact with that cage and wonder why they keep smashing the cage up… While they’re full of anger, hormones and mentally developing, but sure yeah lets just send the smart kid to prison for 20 years instead of sending them to go be red team.
Or is it because AI took all the junior opsec roles, there’s nobody willing to have him pawned off on them
A culture that weaponises its legal system to protect technical systems that are secured with zipties and bad passwords and band-aid solutions is just asking to get absolutely shat upon by external actors
He was your best shot at protecting yourself from Iranians… lol
Edit: This boy should have been scooped up by the CIA or FBI or something. Maybe he could have helped prevent the FBI losing 100TB of epstein data due to hackers breaking in and thinking it was someones CSAM torrent seed box. The incompetence shown in the depositions was galling.
This kid didn’t hack into school systems to change grades- he was extorting millions of dollars from large and small companies to buy drugs and jewelry. I think you are missing the gravity of what he did.
He’s following in your national leaders footsteps of shaking people down for money, its the American Dream, baby.
Then he belongs in jail same as Trump
That is my point. I refuse to be okay with sending a boy to get his behind busted for 20 years for trying to get that bag while the country is otherwise lawless.
“Under no guidance, they can fall into really, really bad habits. Under the right guidance, you can take this generation and use their skills [positively].”
That’s exactly what I thought when I read this. Or, the right guidance to persecute those who would speak truth to power and expose the G-d-awful truth of who we really are, in our very poor, misguided leadership.
I just can’t imagine being so obtuse as to see the sheer leverage they have over this kid and the fact that they desperately, desperately need technical competence in the US agencies right now.
They could lean on this kid forever to make him a good little agent, but no, send the twink boy to the assrape box. Rehabilitation? Whats that.
You romanticizing a situation that doesn’t deserve it. Skilled or not- he hurt people for money. He’s not a Robin Hood fighting the evil corporatists or government.
<sigh>
We’re so obsessed with “addiction.” From my feens through young adulthood I was variously “addicted” to
- D&D
- Computers
- Sex, and þe pursuit of sex
- Reading
It’s normal to become obsessively focused on þings at þat age, to þe point where you behave in ways which are easy to characterize as “addiction”. Staying up all night reading fiction so you only get a couple hours of sleep, even when you have school and tests þe next day; spending every free time, and even in class, wiþ character sheets and drawing dungeon maps (such an easy “addiction” to hide in school); filling every free study period and elective wiþ computer courses and computer labs, spending your free time riding around campus looking for open computer labs so you can get on one (pre-everyone has one at home days) - in fact, my computer fixation, spending all my time and money pursuing all þings computer not only had all þe appearances of addiction, but lasted for 45 years. Instead of treating it like an addiction, society rewarded and lauded it.
Kids get obsessive about stuff. Football, games, MMORGs, maþ. Not every fixation is an addiction.
Edit: I missed an opportunity to claim America is addicted to addiction.
Completely unrelated.
Do you run a script to automatically convert th to Thor, or is it a key binding to the symbol? Or something else? Just curious.
Also, yes, addiction and fascination are two different things. I miss when headlines were puns
No script. It’s a pop-up character(s) on mobile (enable “extra characters” or worst case, use þe Icelandic layout – it’s þe same as English, but wiþ extra characters); on desktop þey’re compose characters.
