@hackers.town sometimes we are technical, sometimes we are goofy, sometimes we are fired up....

But all the time we want to extend a hand to help anyone who also treats others with love, and if not love, at least acceptance.

We never want to be the tech community that is full of mean people being dicks.

That is all.

Once there was a promising young technomancer who abandoned all of his principles and collected everyone's data. He told them it was safe with him, and in time they believed him.

Over time the technomancer realized he had amassed so much information that he became mightier than even the leaders of the world, but his greed and desire for wealth kept him from noticing.

He began to sell his influence to these leaders and got them hooked on his data.

They used it solve crimes, and they used it protect the endangered, and they used it to detect who would likely do crime, and they used it to keep the people divided, and they used it to topple one another's nations.

All the while making the no longer young technomancer even more powerful and wealthy.

The prophecy says that the Technomancer will try to destroy those who oppose him. But the agents of the wires will bring him to his knees by rebuilding what was lost.

They will from the void build new works powered by the willful.

They will control their data, not entrusting their cache with the wizards in their towers.

They will work together to restore the future to it's intended state.

They will win with numbers, resolve, their will, and mutual aid.

They will win because the cruelty of greed is not more powerful that the instinct to survive, nor the nature of freedom.

Shape the void.

Own the wires.

Restore the future.

Understand my words with full knowledge and reverence for my connection to the void.

My data is not yours to own.

You came here and asked to sell us things, then tracked us with the things you sold us.

You came here and begged for trust, which many gave you, then betrayed it by selling our secrets.

Then you took away our nation.

My data is not yours to own.

AD job in Austin may be a better fit than thought.

Shit. it's on shodan.

@Gargron for FSF chair!

You know, I see DC internal UPS set to default credentials all the time, which usually the most egregious thing that I can report on as the power to production system can be cut or controlled...

BUT this HVAC finding is scary... this system will allow you to set systems beyond their safe operating ranges.

seriously scary stuff.

I have to go do my last writes for $formeremployer.

Steve Ballmer for FSF chair.

Oh, but one last thing...

The mad man himself!

Goodnight, Netizens.

Time for bed. Gotta finish up the hard work tomorrow.

Sometimes I think you all are just an updated version of Racter for me to make nonsense with.

The patterns coalesce like complex Venn diagrams.
