When I refer to myself as a "hacker", I don't mean I'm invading people's systems to steal personal information or plant ransomware or whatever. I'm referring to Steven Levy's hacker ethic, and the attitudes of the MIT AI Lab people, who kinda remain my software heroes: http://project.cyberpunk.ru/idb/hacker_ethics.html

"Access to computers - and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works - should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On imperative!

All information should be free.

Mistrust authority - promote decentralization.

Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.

You can create art and beauty on a computer.

Computers can change your life for the better."
