Before user-friendly distros like Ubuntu, installing Linux was brutal. In the early 90s, if you wanted Linux, you had to download it in pieces over slow connections, write it to floppy disks, and manually configure everything—including your own X server settings just to get a GUI. There were no package managers, and if you compiled the kernel wrong? You bricked your system and started over. Those who survived earned serious bragging rights.

Dive into the fascinating world of early 1990s cyberspace and the clash
between hackers, law enforcement, and telecommunications companies. This
video explores the events surrounding the infamous Hacker Crackdown of
1990, based on Bruce Sterling's groundbreaking book.

@rysiek Ever since I learned about the true hacker culture, I've made an effort to refer to what people normally call hackers "malicious actors" or "bad actors", and refraining from calling what people normally call "hacked" with things like "gaining unauthorized access". It makes it much clearer what I'm talking about, and I don't throw my hacker nerds under the bus.

Hey #Badgelife creators, fans, or collectors. Read and boost this!

In January I will be in DC for some meetings. Because I will be there anyway, I reached out to some of the curators at the Smithsonian to ask them to meet. To my surprise, they accepted!

I want to bring them some awareness of the Badgelife community and projects, because I think Badgelife represents an incredible amount of creativity, innovation, and technological advancement, and it's happening right under everyone's noses!

So I'd like to ask: If you had an opportunity to share something about what Badgelife means to you, how it is advancing human ingenuity, or just what it means for creativity in the 21st century: What would you like me to share with the folks at the Smithsonian about Badgelife?

Share your pics. Share links to your projects. Share your stories of playing weird proximity games over NFC or wifi. Why do electronic badges make you happy? How do people use them to tell stories? Tag it #SmithsonianBadgelife so we can find it and collect it to hand over to them.

Please spread far and wide. I'd like to get as much community feedback as possible to share with them.

Thank you in advance.

A reminder that 2 weeks from yesterday, on #Friday, #October 4th, is the next monthly @2600 meeting!
