Highly recommend this talk by @pluralistic on #39c3. Way too many quotable statements in there for one post, just check it out and start seizing the means of computation.

We offer palliatives, but the core issues are paradigmatic: 'agency' relies on pervasive data access + ability to act w/o explicit consent.
@Mer__edith why didn't you take questions after the talk? There was plenty of time left in your slot :/

Who else kept thinking "that's how the light comes in" whenever @pluralistic said "The door is open a crack" in his talk at #39c3 ?

feeling weird about hackers LARPing as states and even doing border control shit that is traumatising and even killing people in the real world
I'm looking for a #39c3 talk to watch with my wife to get her into it - any recommendations? She's not a coder or hacker and she is an English native speaker and still learning German, so an English talk would make sense.

Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live onstage during hacker conference
‚A hacktivist remotely wiped three white supremacist websites live onstage during their talk at a hacker conference last week, with the sites yet to return online.
The pseudonymous hacker, who goes by Martha Root — dressed as Pink Ranger from the Power Rangers — deleted the servers of WhiteDate, WhiteChild, and WhiteDeal in real time at the end of a talk at the annual Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, Germany….‘
Great 👏 @back2theRoot

Thanks to everyone who attended my talk at #39C3 - it was great fun 🙂
Here’s a slightly modified video of the demo at the end of the talk.
#whitedate is still down. #whitedeal and #whitechild show a front page but aren’t functional - let’s see how long it stays that way.
Many thanks to DDoSecrets and the antifa for their work and support.
Not all details will follow right now -we gotta keep a bit of the magic alive.
A more detailed report will appear in due time.
