John Breen@briankrebs There is one rule to Hacker Uprising Club - you don't talk about Hacker Uprising Club.
Endareth@briankrebs It was last Saturday, didn’t you get the invite?
@nicky luna
:David Campey@Dreamboislut @briankrebs Hacker Uprising Hey?
@Dreamboislut @briankrebs I was making a whimsical backronym to your HUH statement.
@davidcampey @briankrebs that. stil. dont work. for me
Matt Palmer@briankrebs the hacker uprising is already here, it's just not evenly distributed.
Spocko@briankrebs I thought it already happened.
Jef Poskanzer@briankrebs I asked similarly on a hacker mailing list but they'd rather talk about getting old.
WandreCanada@briankrebs It's already started. Unfortunately it started in RU and CN.

Ehay2kThe hacker collective may be listening to Joe Rogan.
Laukidh@briankrebs yeah, pretty much all I’ve seen was the foot video and the doge website entries.
The Doctor@briankrebs Hack commandment 0x02 - Never let them know your next move.
Bob Young@briankrebs I did not predict that you'd be late to the party. It's already underway. Of course, I'm not involved, I just heard chatter...
David Linssen@briankrebs Please enjoy each uprising equally.
Mark Wyner Won’t Comply 
@briankrebs I think about this every day. I keep waiting to hear the news.

nimi@briankrebs It's already underway. Make it beautiful! Make it funny. Because this is what facists can't handle.
Aral Balkan@briankrebs It never stopped.

The invitation was sent out by the Antifa HR.

kdgregory@briankrebs That would take time, and maybe money, and commitment to ideals, and gosh, somebody posted a piece on Hacker News about using Rust to give each pixel in an LED display its own IPv6 address.
hex@briankrebs Probably some time after we face the fact that we all have a ton of money because our jobs are bullshit.
We have bullshit jobs because the flaws we expose would never have been produced by a forward thinking system. But more than that, we have bullshit jobs because we are paid primarily *not* to rise up. The huge sums of money the best of us are offered are the leashes that keep us tethered to those who are causing these problems in the first place....and those are leashes that we made by building the security industry in the first place, rather than burning the whole thing down the first chance we got.
But that's just my take, I could be wrong.
@briankrebs IMO, we need to step up a few levels also. No point in technical attacks when the problem is social structures. But a lot of hackers never bother to think about systems that don't keep track of things in pure bits.
@briankrebs I have a lot to say about this subject, but not a lot that most of my fellow hackers want to hear.
mohs@briankrebs unlike shown in movies, hacking is a slow and not too public process.
So it is happening all the time. You just don't see it if you are not doing it yourself.
As for any uprising: Asking when it will happen is always wrong. For it to start, you have to do it.
So the answer for your friend is: NOW! Get out there and act on it!
Extreme Electronics@briankrebs When they have finished all of their projects,
Wait, new addressable LED.....
Alex James Johnson@briankrebs yes I get it
Frank 🛩️🪂⛵🛵🎿🔭@briankrebs Recently someone on the #fediverse reminded #Tesla owners or people interested in buying, that if the company will go bankrupt for some reason, the #SwastiCars may be all totally bricked!
In my head:
Hackers: "Hold my Club Mate...!"
I mean, it also works the other way round: Wouldn't the company be close to bankruptcy if all their products somehow magically would be bricked? Also asking for a friend. But I guess, they are solid in that regard. Would have to be an inside job.
𝙉𝙤𝙖𝙝 𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙛@briankrebs I was asking a similar question about protest music the other day. There are tons of nonviolent protest methods and it's warmed my heart to see so many folks marching and protesting what's currently happening. So long as nonviolent protest remains an option, I like to think that other groups will get involved. I've seen hackers in other countries projecting Musk throwing his Hitler salute on the side of a Tesla building in Germany, but definitely not as many instances of that here in the US.
brunoc@briankrebs I guess most hackers who care about this are too old and tired. Many of the younger ones are on HN trying to figure out how to capitalize on the current situation.

Last attempt failed and got a bunch of people busted for very little gain. I think everyone with those skills learned that their efforts are best spent equipping people with tools and information to help with what needs to be done.

"Wish the sun to stand still.." 🌞@briankrebs Well, everything gettin' hacked. So we are there already.
The real revolution will come when Computer Science grows up enough to embody that title.

I feel like there's a lesson both for oligarchs and for dirty hobbitses in there somewhere.
