   @cypnk however, one thing:

   radicals *need* to learn to use free software, and to thwart the surveillance dragnet. That's not a question of morality like most free software stuff is, it's a question of necessity, and too much organizing is still over corporate channels well-monitored by three-letter-agencies.

     @rotatingskull It is indeed, but I’ve yet to meet an office manager who would call it that

     If you ask the person who did all that work in Excel, you’ll likely find a hacker who thinks they aren’t one due to a conspicuous absence of a balaclava

     @cypnk After dealing with enough end-users and tutoring, I lost my empathy for people who won't learn a harder tool; they get the nerfed environment. Any motivated average-IQ user *can* learn CLI and basic dev tools, most *choose* not to, will fight you or gnaw off a limb to escape learning anything.

     As long as it's relatively easy for devs to get in, and it is, fine. AJ went crazy the other day when I said Apple aren't supervillains, but they're not.
