Thanks to people can run tools on .

Think about it....

... a little more...

...nothing?

Let me give an hint: people can install an X server too (separately, either # or ).

Nothing yet?

Ok, last tip: you can install from / Linux.

Nothing?

🤦‍♂️

You can teach people how to read protected on Windows.

But that's not the most interesting lesson you can teach them.

Through this DRM violation you can show them how fragile is . 😉

And it's even more general: there are always ways to subvert an oppressive system, usually provided by the oppressors themselves.

Sesame Street, a show created for public access television to help kids from low-income families learn to read and write, is being put being a paywall which will prevent the kids who most need it from accessing it.
The past 50 seasons are also included in that so they can't be streamed anywhere else.

Fuck capitalism.

Pirate Sesame Street.

@niconiconi @xj9 In certain cases, copyleft probably makes things more accessible than the abolition of copyright would.

But on the whole, the main thing stopping you from reverse-engineering that unreadable binary blob and sharing your knowledge is not the obfuscation, it's the copyright.

End copyright 

@clacke @nepfag@pl.smuglo.li @xj9 Hmm. If you are pro-copyleft, are you really sure copyleft is not needed when copyright is abolished? Sure, without copyright, all programs and code can be used for all purposes, but still, nothing prevent someone to sell a huge and unreadable binary blob. In a sense, proprietary software thrives by itself regardless of the existence of copyright thanks to the unreliability of machine code.

@AbbieNormal @ekaitz_zarraga @Shamar Maybe you should grow up and do not act in a naiv way. There always have been people trying to do harm to the free software movement. Apart from an orchestrated witch hunt there isn't anything that could have been dig up against him.

Fatemi capire @microsoftitalia@twitter.com perchè devo per forza creare un account quando avvio un nuovo pc? E perchè devo dirvi quando sono nato? E perchè devo per forza impostare un PIN? no words.....

At times makes me feel sad. At times I think we fully deserve extintion.

This struggle hurts.

What should I teach my daughters?

To love or to use?
To teach or to exploit?
To be humans or just the smartest apes around?

These are not easy questions.

If you find the answers obvious, you are you are naive. Even if you have been taught to thing you are cynic.

Why being human in a world of apes? What's the point?

And yet... what life is being a smart and powerful when you could be a human?

A request, please boost.

Anyone who does podcasts in the IT/infosec/hacking world... I would like to be a guest sometime if you'd have me...

I need to up BlackFire's visibility, and as such, talking is a great way to do that.

So, if you are ever looking for a guest/stand in co-host/ whatever... I am available.
