| I was a menace online until around 2008. I'm so glad most of my history is erased, and nobody knows my old aliases. Now in my 40s working for big enterprise. |

| People forget that Robert Morris of Y Combinator was a convicted felon, in fact the first under CFAA IIRC (not that I believe his intent was nefarious at the time). He’s fine now. |

| Dismantle many democracies in your time? Then not that similar. |

| ▲ | ta1243 14 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Looks like he was a script-kiddie, at most he dismantled some game-cheating sites. Maybe he used back-orifice to open someone's cd drive for the lolz. (This assumes he wasn't just making it up) Sounds a very familiar background. His support of a horrendous reigime today is unrelated to his actions in his youth. | | |
| ▲ | moomin 14 days ago | parent [-] | | I dunno, DOGE's activities feel very much like a public policy version of being a script kiddie. | | |
| ▲ | red-iron-pine 14 days ago | parent [-] | | the implication of 'script kiddie' is also low hanging fruit and things like website vandalism. DOGE is dismantling the western global order and destroying generations of government institutions. these are far, far more damaging than anything a script kiddie could ever do, and will impact generations of Americans + many other countries. |
