i share lots of LOVE with lots of people in our scene, you know?

OTOH i'm never afraid to say shitty things, contrary to people like
you Mayehm, dying to please everyone in every possible way.

right. and how many other people from the southern hemisphere were
there? everyone missed? oh yea, that's the butterfly effect right?

...

hacking is a lot about circumventing limitations, that should make
"first-world" people interested *at least once* about "third-world"
and their way to hack through scarcity. it is indeed very interesting
and a seminal response to what we used to call "digital divide".

but no, once again the same patterns here: we were first, we are the
ones. and the majority of those are northern subsidized yuppies. and
with you to complete our portrait Mayhem: the italian clown running
around with grappa and sport cars, rather than representing the real
scene here, that was honoured by the visit of Wau Holland in 1999
(putting bananas in parked cars in his free time, one would have been
surely yours) and that is opening grassroot hacker spaces since more
than 10 years now, every year, and in Spain too

http://www.hackmeeting.org

ultimately i do not believe there was a planned separation in this
initiative, but i do believe there is a lot of ignorance and serious
need for humble people that know better how to work with a social
movement, radical differences and an horizontal process for editorial
work (as in writing code).

i'm not proposing myself in that role of course, i guess it is obvious
i'm just good at getting hangry at injustice and maybe writing
software. please note at this time of the year i could just enjoy
southern food with my family and sit on my ass: but nope, i really
feel the urge to point out some problems *now*, because enough is
enough and too late might be too late.

sure, setting up anal deadlines for their own showup to be in time.

i sincerely hope you end up parking in the next banlieues, you and

oh sure. sure.

as if *that* would be the problem.

that is not the problem. the problem is the *method*.

there is people actually collaborating with legal forces to explain
them what really happens with hacking: that 18 years old kids hacking
into a system are not as criminals as companies selling security
measures for hundred thousands schekels.

i for myself have spoken publicly in front of rows of higher court
judges about these and other issues in Eu-rope. that is *not* the
problem. the problem is whom you listen to and what you do it for:
thats your problem Mayhem, bloodclot.

sure, that's why you profile and offer consultancy even in this mail.

there is no lie in what i say and now it is my word against yours, and
we have whitnesses. let it be also that i'm absolutely not envy of
bloodclot like you, this is so obvious for people knowing me well.

thanks guys. thanks for your understanding. i'm serious here.

been there, done that. i proposed we avoid filling it up in the
ultimate case some voluntary obstruction is there - and that was just
my *final* consideration.

there was no *threat*.

i did offer, more might come, maybe not? depends how ridicolous the
whole panel looks like now and how constructive will be the outcome of
this thread.

i couldn't watch the whole stream since from down here the network is
quite slow, damn. waiting for postproduced materials to be up for
download.

ciao
