Real hackers don't necessarily care about open source software. Closed source offers more low hanging fruit attack vectors.","comments":[{"id":46925876,"user":"Gud","time":1770486791,"time_ago":"20 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

Hacker, as in capable… not as the media redefined term","comments":[{"id":46926449,"user":"ipaddr","time":1770490499,"time_ago":"20 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

Was referring to an actual hacker who does look for holes in systems not the 60s idealist version of a hacker as someone who plays nor the media evil shadowly character.","comments":[{"id":46926910,"user":"saubeidl","time":1770493042,"time_ago":"20 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

I was referring to a hacker as Stallman would've used the term. This sorta stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_culture

> Richard Stallman explains about hackers who program:

> What they had in common was mainly love of excellence and programming. They wanted to make their programs that they used be as good as they could. They also wanted to make them do neat things. They wanted to be able to do something in a more exciting way than anyone believed possible and show "Look how wonderful this is. I bet you didn't believe this could be done."","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":4,"url":"item?id=46926910"}],"comments_count":1,"level":3,"url":"item?id=46926449"}],"comments_count":2,"level":2,"url":"item?id=46925876"}],"comments_count":3,"level":1,"url":"item?id=46925218"}],"comments_count":4,"level":0,"url":"item?id=46925042"},{"id":46925238,"user":"BoredPositron","time":1770482780,"time_ago":"20 days ago","type":"comment","content":"
