"wow this group of people who think they're smarter than everyone else and the rules shouldn't apply to them, turns out they aren't against hierarchy, just any hierarchy that doesn't put them at the apex"
tbh if you want to be surrounded by nerds interested in breaking things without being interested in breaking people, you get into speedrunning and not infosec

Sometimes Linux users on Mastodon can be intimidating or frustrating, so if you ever find yourself getting annoyed by one, here's my advice. Immediately reply with:
"Down, puppy! Down! We don't jump up like that, it's not polite. Siit. Siiiit. Siiiiit."
GOOD DOG! Who's a good puppy!? Is it you!? Are you a good puppy? You want to play?

@hadley I feel like the biggest threat to kids safety and well being is their parents, so I really hate that virtually all of these online child safety bills are just making kids more vulnerable to that. If we want to protect kids, we should educate them about grooming, make sure online spaces have decent moderation, and make sure there are good support systems in place that are easy to access.
This is probably a pretty lukewarm take at this point, but those social media bans for teens, like the one that was just introduced in Australia?
It's a trans panic.
They can try to dress it up however they like, pull in other, legitimate problems for which a ban isn't the solution either so they get more support for it, but at its core that's what it is.
OH MY GAWD OUR GIRLS SOCIAL MEDIA IS MAKING THEM UNHAPPY THEY MIGHT STOP BEING GIRLS ALTOGETHER.
Trans panic.
