『she hacked you』 is like a pokèmon, evolving into a larger + more complex
community project ___ ### How could you possibly be bored at the end of the
world? Climate instability is a small component of impending total cascading
ecological collapse. In academia? Struggling for grants for what? Measuring the
collapse in scientific papers that are ignored. Sooo then what? Unfortunately,
SHY is and can not be the solution; realistically, there probably isn’t any
solution. SHY is not proposing our goal is to fix the world, or stop impending
ecological collapse ___ ## About Us A community of scientists, and data shows
mostly computer scientists But also makers, hackers, academics, communists,
eco-terrorists, anarchists, nurses, hardware and software engineers, socialists,
ecologists, electrical engineers, lawyers, mycologists, programmers,
journalists, artists, designers, arsonists, kopimists, nomads, writers, union
organizers, educators, witches, musicians, environmentalists, arboreals,
activists, narco-terrorists, luddites, night-timers, day-dreamers, exiles, and
party-crashers Ultimately, and Ideally a diverse group of people and skills
bound together by similar goals: 1. Participate in a project larger than
themselves 2. Collaborate on a project that seeks equitable treatment + dignity
for all Terran life All languages +cultures +nationalities
+political-affiliations (including apolitical) +identities +religions +age-group
are invited to participate Unique perspectives divergent opinions presented in
good faith are appreciated + will be discussed ### Rules Essentially none; you
are free to be stupid, post about anything SHY seeks to mimic the freedom of
expression found on the early internet; but also includes freedom to endlessly
ridicule, embarrass, insult, and shame stupid posts; it goes both ways
Preferably, cultivate Interpersonal communication skills, be comfortably wrong,
and be able to learn from others Racist, fascist, + classical to neo nazi- will
wish they got banned; instead of consequences like oddly bricked devices Go
ahead, post, put all your devices on the line to test if serious. ### Origin
Story SHY originally was only free educational computer science courses streamed
live weekly; it needed music for the stream, so a music project was created,
needing students to avoid an empty stream, a social media presence on
Mastodon+Reddit was created and grew rapidly. Over time, the essence of SHY
began to change. Always intended to be nucleation point for a community, but who
was in it and shaped it, and so what it means are still open questions: it
requires all of us to answer them. Will this work? Who knows? Probably not, but
we can only find out if we try ### Contact The founder and current administrator
of the community is Mastodon.social@ekis [https://mastodon.social/@ekis] Until I
regret this decision, anyone can contact directly + immediately via email:
ekis@shehackedyou.com [ekis@shehackedyou.com] Gladly accept love letters, but
not fond of death threats; but don’t censor yourself. Use XMPP? Join our chat
shy@muc.xmpp.chat Or, Instant Message Ekis shehackedyou@xmpp.chat ### Support &
Donations Contributing financial support will speed up growth of this community
via paypal [https://paypal.me/shehackedyou] or via ko-fi
[https://ko-fi.com/shehackedyou] SHY is already tied to an established CA
non-profit with a dedicated bank account. Revenue and donations will be held in
a dedicated business account, community audited, and control will rest with the
SHY community; it may fund open source projects or other yet undefined community
objectives. Work will begin to convert the organization into a non-profit
workers’ cooperative; demonstrating how cooperatives can be operated
democratically, and without C-Suite executives. Completely worker owned,
operated, non-profit cooperative (but we will be designing our own instead of
using the new standard California model). Goal of a non-profit workers
cooperative: 1. Transparency 2. Democracy 3. Exerting force within the
organizational ecosystem Creating an organization within the current
organizational ecosystem, explicitly with entirely different goals and motives
combined with no board of directors, makes our design incredibly efficient by
comparison; in addition, willing to lose profit for achieve other goals, will
make SHY dangerous entity within the ecosystem* Bitcoin Donations Never buy &
give them to SHY to sell: bc1qwwrxcyphm5wq5cwft9vd40vxd0n5d2kzcluw3j Give Me
Your Coins! And, of course, you can personally shower me (Ekis) with your
cryptocurrency. Made an obscene amount of money? And you haven’t already sent
some? I’m offended! Will even take your esoteric fork-coin; but no regaling me
with tales of extraordinary properties. Really don’t care- ### Interested In
Leadership Roles? SHY is an ambitious project that exist beyond this site;
already connected to an established CA non-profit. Members wishing to have
democratic control will be required to join the SHY non-profit cooperative. We
are looking for community organizers, and we need department leaders for
different types of skills. If you have been doing UX design for a long time, and
could help newer people getting into it, we would to hear from you. The same
writing (technical writing, but not exclusively), 2D artists, 3D artists, etc.
We want find people with talent in each field they can share with others and
build “departments”(until we have a better word) around these individuals. They
will have weighted voting during decision making votes, not massively but
noticeable. We will be building new federated platforms, while providing fixes
for existing ones. We require modifications to an existing CA non-profit
structure; writing new articles of operation, to provide for a unique
cooperative structure. The goal of establishing a entirely worker owned and
operated non-profit cooperative is a very rare; it will serve both as a
demonstration while empowering the SHY community to be more than bystanders. We
will redefine economic disruption SHY Logo

There are a lot of leftist communities, there are a lot of science communities, but not many leftist hacker/scientist/engineering communities because those types of communities are often libertarian and believe in tech saviourism bullshit
even if you just want to learn, we can help you, teach you computer science, programming, or just want to hear what communist hackers are up to
like i’m pro bitcoin, pro taking bitcoins from libertarians and selling it back to them.never buy, always sell.
I used the word hacker, but honestly i hate the word hacker:
"If you know me at all
You know my very negative associations with the word #hacker
Despite 2600 efforts; label has caused me a lot of pain + grief + hardship
Why almost laughable when ppl on the internet self label that
Put that in your profile when w/o even accused of a crime- you show up to your house to find intelligence agents sitting around waiting for you" - Ekis (creator of shy community)
It’s been coopted, eIther the common “hacker” as synonymous for “cracker” or the “Hacker News” type which tends to be less about “cool tech that moves civilization forward” and more “services to sop up value while offering gossamer-thin actual advances” and “chasing the almighty IPO or acquisition”
Well to start I no longer see it as a skill, its something I naturally do, my friends are always shocked I will touch a machine for a few seconds and have it giving me an admin menu. I hacked a Bitcoin ATM in Romania is like 3 minutes (I helped the dude who just bought it and invited me to his grand opening, he spent 150k on it and was having a panic attack, so I had him immediately call the company and reported the bug, was paid 15k the same day, honestly was wayyy to little but since hackers are not in a guild we can’t collectively bargin for appropriate rewards).
So I see it as a curse now. Because if people know about how much I know about computer science they act weird around me. They get scared sometimes. There are many witch hunts when they get hacked from mostly using windows on the internet anytime past 2018+. Its why I prefer witch now because I’m cursed and I’m the weird girl who is sorta isolated and so subject to witch hunts regularly.
I have to downplay my interests and intelligence otherwise people feel uncomfortable around me, I have been accused of wild stuff, and even when not accused they will treat you differently, a suspicion. There is absolutely a stigma, less so in Berlin but lived most of my life elsewhere. I have to pretend to be someone different than I am, I have to avoid talking about the new thing I figured out, or talk about one of my major interests. Because it really does affect the way people treat me.
That is why I’m cursed with a fucking curse.
The witch hunts are frustrating but also insulting. Any hacker now gets minimum 10 years and its ALWAYS solitary, so torture. And I wouldn’t turn and work for them so I’d get 10 years in solitary. And thinking I would risk that for stupid bullshit is fucking insulting, suggests I don’t have a moral compass, and makes no sense because I have never been convicted, accused or caught hacking; its just a label that people apply to me. I never called myself a hacker, I reported a massive bug in middle school and it followed me my entire life.
Then its also insulting because its like I fucking open up electronics, JTAG or UART into firmware and rewrite it. If I wanted to hack you, you think you would know? Thats kinda the whole point, is to never let anyone know, otherwise its not really successful. So it implies I’m stupid enough and have no moral compass (which if I didn’t I would be in jail already, the only way to be my age and know what I know and not be locked in a cage is to have a system of ethics).
This is also why any news article you read that says “country” hacked x; is complete bullshit. They base this often on doing a strings command on the binary and seeing what languages are inside. But even I would throw other languages in my binary to confuse someone analyzing malware I wrote (I don’t write malware this is an example, but if I did, you wouldn’t know at all if it was on your computer, not even an expert would find it; because I would examine their computer to determine their skill level and not install it on computers of people who could potentially detect it; and thats not just me thats every malware writer)
Or binary analysis of code from other things found, and its like again you can store shit in a binary and never use it to misdirect.
So yeah, of course Id throw some North Korean phrases in; hacking is like that, you misdirect in 8 layers. Assuming otherwise is really not understanding it at all. And so when they say Russian hackers did this and its from binary analysis you can’t rely on that.
But Israel and US did write stuxnet; thats for sure, we know from other evidence.
So like it suggests I’m bad at what I do, while accusing me of stupid fucking things, like someone accused me of hacking the electrical grid and turning the light on and off outside her house in Morse code. I don’t even fucking know morse code, that is stupid old useless bullshit. Never interested me. Just 1 example of so many.
I can’t go through US border for example (if you don’t know you don’t have constitutional rights at the border crossings, even as a US citizen they only exist outside and inside, but the border they vanish). So anytime I cross a border (again never convicted, never accused, etc) I get all my technology taken away (phone, laptop, anything) and its never given back. I get strip searched often, sometimes they leave me in a cell for hours I was coming back from South Korea and was being asked if I was smuggling weed; and my brain broke, like I lived in California. Who the fuck would smuggle weed in that direction, it just the stupidest fucking shit; my SO gets it too by proxy; shes a scientist so they ask her questions like “you work in a lab, do you make bombs?” but I got mad at that border guard and basically called him a fucking moron but not explicitly implicitly and so I got left in a cell for 8 hours.
Its why I live in exile now; its just not worth crossing the border to go to a full on police state that I have always fucking hated. Recently I moved close to California in Tijuana to visit family and friends (well no family, they rejected me after I came out atheist, then later trans) but my friends who I consider family, and I have crossed a few times but cant bring any technology, I expect stupid questions, and it takes way longer, I have to go by foot otherwise they will tear up the car I’m in, and typically strip searched I think mostly for the humiliation honestly.
Its just extra-judicial punishment. I have experienced a lot some I wont even talk about on the internet.
What are your beefs with the word “hacker”? Just curious.

I made a more in depth post on mastodon to avoid repeating myself to much just going to link to that if thats okay: https://mastodon.social/@ekis/111587352810957269
Has some more details about how I got labeled, and some of the extra-judicial shit I went through
