Oh, the reubin interview

Praise jdm

@King Canuck what he said was fucking retarded

Hacking means being able to come up with alternative ways of thinking and solving problems.

What, that "hacking" can constitute using anything and putting it to a purpose it wasn't made for?

I personally thought it was an interesting take on the idea

You can be a garden hacker.

🦉

that is a very dapper owl

@Deleted User sorry nope.

I think it makes sense

@Deleted User yes

Nope

@Deleted User I think so

@Deleted User Yes, it is even defined this way in the Chaos Computer Club.

Nope, hacking means something specific to the electronics and computer science scene

Hell, let me make this case, then, to prove how the Magna Carta is, as stated, no stronger than any other easily reversed British law:

@Deleted User Don't care about them

Only three clauses from it remain on statute in England and Wales

@Deleted User Yeah, because they would disassemble you for being a MS fanboy.

@Deleted User except I donate to OpenBSD, I am more of an OpenBSD fanboy than MS

If you must, Luke, non-computer hacking is just LifeHacking

"The original definition of the term "hack" is "to cut with rough or heavy blows." In the modern vernacular it has often been used to describe an inelegant but effective solution to a specific computing problem, such as quick-and-dirty shell scripts and other command line utilities that filtered, munged and processed data streams like e-mail and RSS feeds.[1][2] The term was later extended to life hack, in reference to a solution to a problem unrelated to computers that might occur in a programmer's everyday life. Examples of these types of life hacks might include utilities to synchronize files, track tasks, remind oneself of events, or filter e-mail."

it is only the biggest hacker club in Europe. They don't know shit.

And I have problems with them.

@King Canuck in terms of modern tech nobody uses those terms.

But thats beside.

What do you mean?

I've heard of 'hacking' by twisting paperclips into coils to keep several cables bound more cleanly into a single bundle

(which saved me headache...(

Cetronious admitted being a robot

lol

Yep

Hacking is also used by many Open Source communities for describing simply solving issues

@Deleted User yes, that is why there is hackathons in the OpenBSD community.

In almost all modern parlance it means something to do with electronics + making it do something different.

But backing the h*ck up

Tim Pool's definition was so broad that technically I've hacked my macbook to be a beer coaster

@Deleted User open yourself up. It can also be outside of IT.

the only good use for a macbook, frankly

how does this mean tim pool is bad, if he did one too-broad definition?

It was such a dumb definition It meant nothing
