I feel like this was a lot of people that grew up on the computers and the Internet in the 90s/early 2000s before social media took off. If anything this gives him credibility. Beats being a boot camp graduate normie.
Agree. I grew up in the era of phreaking and when I see something like this it makes me happy. We want the tinkerers, the curious, the people always pushing on the margins.
It is not necessary to be an asshole with no regard to others to be curious. Maybe we should stop glamorizing these.
