problem is the dialogues sounded to me anyway like they were already written by an LLM

That's fine but technology doesn't exist in a vacuum, you can't talk about (for example) facial recognition technology without mentioning the social groups it affects the most or is used against. Same for plenty of others topics directly or indirectly related to hacking and computers.

If you look at the history of the CCC, they also don't see a line between technical freedom and social freedom, because you can't have a free internet in an unfree society.

The 'outside' topics you mention are often just the hackers' way of applying their methodology to the world beyond the screen. Society is a larger system with its own bugs and exploits that inevitably affect the computers you use and the code that run them, and hackers like to apply their methodology to analyze that to understand the consequences.

Moreover, if you actually want meritocracy, you have to address the social barriers that keep people out of the room, and you can't do that without addressing the outside world.

I'll never get people who say that there is too much politics at a god damn hacker conference like the CCC, considering The Chaos Computer Club was founded in 1981 specifically to be a political watchdog.

more so especially since the very act of "hacking" is a political statement because it involves redistributing power over information.

Code is law, remember?

That would be like complaining about "too much law" at a constitutional convention.

read up on the history of the CCC, it might blow your mind

that's because you have a very narrow definition of what political means

how do you know these people broke the law

Not open source, no thanks

Can you do the same but with bookmarks instead?

>There’s no reason to think that the intentions behind the bill are anything but noble.

Who are these ex-cops kidding?

In the case of the Shadow Brokers, it revealed that those supposed "NOBUS" were low level vulnerabilities that did not need a supercomputer to break.

privacy badger is redundant and unnecessary

This is very dependent on the bot and what it's running on.

This is a study about political bias not conducted by social scientists or experts in political bias using Political Compass as method. It's underwhelming, as expected.
