"stares in infosec"
Yeah well, I think this is a "two kinds of people" situation.
1: The computer is a tool that I own. It is a force amplifier of my will. When I say, "Give me a void* to the frame buffer", that's just *table stakes*. It does that, or it does not *belong* to me.
2: You own nothing, computers are appliances for access to corporate services. You must be prevented from exploiting their full capabilities at all costs. It's for your own good: you might do something illegal!
America summed up in one poster.
EDIT: please read the comments in this thread regarding juvenile diabetes. A lot of misconceptions have been brought to light and I think it’s important to admit when we don’t know as much as we thought we did.
Thank you again to all of those who corrected me without being insulting. Learning is always a good thing.
A little wild that there are people out there who think there are take-backsies in community management and licensing.
Now - unsurprisingly - the situation has escalated, as it does whenever mobility is a function of privilege. In-person conferences in the US means not only no less-affluent countries and no global south, it means nobody who wants to risk spending a month in a cage because they objected to an ideology or a genocide on the internet or have an X on their passport or filled out a form wrong five years ago or or or.
We know what to do and how to do it, because we've done it before.
