Why wannabe #hackers are so annoying #online and why nobody likes them:
Unfortunately, there’s a shockingly large number of people who’ve seen a cool #Hollywood #hacker #movie and then think, “I want to be that #cool, #powerful and #rich too—and preferably without having to do anything for it.” They then look for some kind of contact point for so-called hackers and beg for an #exploit they can run without any #knowledge, which they plan to use to hack the next bank and get rich. Even worse and more disgusting than people who are obsessed with becoming rich are those who try to hack their ex-girlfriend's #Facebook account to get #revenge on her.
That's not hacking—it's just plain stupid, because nothing works that way.
A quick aside on how to become a real hacker: Studying computer science isn’t the worst idea, but you can also find and learn everything you need to know through self-study online. Figuring out where to find the best learning materials on the internet is part of becoming a hacker.
The most frustrating experience I keep having online is when I see a little potential in these wannabe hackers and try to help them get on the right track. I'll forward them the URIs and PDFs with the learning materials. The usual response is: “I'm not stupid enough to click on long URLs or open PDFs that might be infected.” How can you want to be a hacker and not even bother to understand the most basic cybersecurity strategies?
Anyone who thinks long URIs are more dangerous than short ones is beyond help anyway.
There are plenty of tools available for opening potentially dangerous documents, such as PDFs. A hacker should be familiar with these tools; anyone who isn’t has already failed to clear the first and smallest barrier on the long road to mastery.

One banned US user pointed us to this petition, we’ve been tracking it daily.
4.4.2026 When we first spotted it, it had just under 61,800 signatures.
9.4.2026, it has reached 62,426 — and is still growing as we speak.
At what point does this stop being “individual cases”
and start being a systemic problem?

Vielleicht sollten Frauen sich auch überlegen, diese Plattformen zu verlassen? Sicher, auf mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy gibt es auch Frauenfeindlichkeit, aber die Plattformen sind so konstituiert, dass sie weniger Extremismus zu lassen. „Vote with your feet“!

#Facebook makes one do some bizarre things. I just had to block a friend who recently died on Facebook Messenger so his name wouldn't appear on the list of people I could chat with in my browser.

Cuando se trata de privacidad, casi todo el mundo señala a #Google y #Facebook (ahora #Meta) como las grandes villanas. Sin embargo, puedo asegurar que la red social Facebook es una maravilla en términos de #privacidad frente a #LinkedIn.
No entiendo cómo nadie en la #UniónEuropea le ha metido mano a la red social propiedad de #Microsoft.
