       Alright netizens and Cyberpunks... hackers, crackers, players, and pretenders... It's that time of year when hoodies are actually appropriate outerwear (in the northern hemisphere). While I have an issue with the image of hackers in hoodies, I have had multiple requests for a hackers.town hoodie.You know who you are.Here it is:https://www.customink.com/fundraising/fund-hackerstownWe have hit our threshold, and this order is happening. Get on the train before it leaves the station.

       @fidgety watch anytime the media talks about cyber criminals as hackers, there is likely graphic of someone at a keyboard in a black hoodie.

       @thegibson @fidgety I'm personally ok with hoodies as hacker-chic, even if the portrayal is exaggerated. They do fit in with the computing/streets conjunction. Like a manifest element of the adventures in old cDc text files. Reminds me of days gone by, and deeds done.But I get the other end of it, the media end, is just fetishization. The divide between these two gives me weird feelings.

       @remotenemesis @thegibson @_cr0_tab @garrett @fidgety we're getting near chilly season here, where I usually wear a tee and carry a hoodie with me for when the temp drops.I became a fan of hoodies when I was still in high-school.It's the easiest to wear + less thought involved. Just: pants, tee, hoodie. Need an extra layer? Add a sweatshirt. It's cold freezing outside? A kispo on top. Done!

       @Shamar this is one of the logos @_cr0_tab  made for our funding drive a week ago.Be the rust upon their gears is a mechanical allegory for resisting oppressive enemies.They do ship to Europe, although I believe there is an upcharge.

       @thegibson @_cr0_tab I was asking the meaning of the image. I liked it a lot.I think #hackers should find an international alternative (or many alternatives) to the #glinder as to many (me included) it is inesorabily linked to #ESR American imperialism.

       @Shamar @_cr0_tab No disagreements.The image is just a circuit diagram that is meant to invoke occult symbology as we are effectively the wizards of the modern age.It is meant to hold the same mental space as a Masonic square and compass, or the hermetic Unicursal Hexagram.

       @_cr0_tab @thegibson I need time to think about this.I REALLY LIKE IT.But compared to the Masonic square and compass (an appropriate comparison, IMHO: during middle ages, masonry was VERY similar to what hackerdom is today) it lacks something.The square and compass were two fundamental tools of the building design.They were physical tools to turn ideas into things.We need something like that.What do #hackers WORLDWIDE use to turn ideas into the real world?

       @Shamar @_cr0_tab Right.A circuit design that was non-descript, to me represented both this esoterics as well as build something from nothing.Void engineers if you will.

       @Shamar @_cr0_tab So very true.It's hard to do the Masonic route here, as the tools are often frameworks combined with our minds...No physical tools are appropriate...So abstract was the last option.

       @uranther @thegibson @_cr0_tab The first value of #hackers' #ethics is #Curiosity.It's also their favorite and fundamental tool.Curiosity spawns other tools: #IntellectualHonesty, #Creativity, #Condivision and #Freedom.Tools that are core values too, even if functional to curiosity, to the desire to #learn.We hack everything: from physical artifacts to math definitions.We span continents and religions always serving humanity.How can we express this?I'd like to be #DaVinci.

       @TheGibson @Shamar @_cr0_tab The wire itself visible but its two driving forces unseen, as what we manipulate is unseen - physical components, and electrical signal.Six feet if two wings; one of many, hence locusts. Arising unanticipated in overwhelming numbers though each is small.Disconnection defining secrecy. The body is a space between traces, the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing.Existing within an order transcended - the hexagon, ideal packing of 2d space.

       @feonixrift @Shamar @_cr0_tab I am of a very diverse occult background, as @feonixrift knows.Good read, but I can't consciously take credit for all of that. I'm just glad that the universe brought me symbology that elicits discussion on this front.Because it is as important as the systems we design, tear down, or build.We'll never fully unify, but we may be able to create a banner for our beliefs and ethos.

       @Shamar @TheGibson @_cr0_tab In high school, I was always fascinated by the hypercube. :blobshrug: The Vitruvian Man seems appropriate because to me it represents something that is mostly lost in the modern world: the Renaissance Man.As Robert A.

       @thegibson @feonixrift @_cr0_tab @uranther I'm not sure #hackers can ever divide. We can disagree for a while, but ultimately we strive for #truth, for #knowledge, not for #power.Our ultimate goal, learning more, simply make wars and even hate or envy not just pointless, but counterproductive.Thus we do not need to unify.Probably what you mean is that we will never be #uniform.We do not fear differences, as they are always chances to learn.

       @_cr0_tab @uranther Building on the @feonixrift interpretation, I also see two persons shoulders to shoulders.The orizontal lines could be tables. Or chains that vinculate them to live and work together.But as much as I like it (did I said that I like this a lot?) there is still something missing... I do not know... I think the @thegibson insight about masonry point into the right direction, but I cannot still see where... WHICH ARE OUR CORE TOOLS REALLY? I won't sleep tonight...

But it also structure such flow.Also, the reference to a specific culture/religion (or worse to a syncretic reduction of it) was out of place into something that is inheritely international, intercultural.Now, on one hand, this is rich, variegate, as our cultures and feelings. And this is great! 1/

       @thegibson @uranther @feonixrift But (sorry @_cr0_tab I'm exploiting your kindness, but I care about symbols) on the other hand, it's complex.My own insight (is this my biased culture at work?) is that "simplex sigillum veri", that simplicity is the sign of truth, the ultimate proof of correctness. Occalm razor's output, so to say.The truth we are looking for, as curious people, is the simplest possible one.

       @thegibson @uranther @feonixrift @_cr0_tab I'm unable to dress myself you can image how I can talk about design.But I was wondering: what if those electrons were stars?Dots in a simple dark blue.Stars of several different colors, like the wonderful sky I saw in Kenya's desert... years ago.

       @TheGibsonFundamentally I do not believe in beginnings or endings.Nothing is complex, because all complexity is combination and iteration on simple forms. Nothing is simple because nothing is independent, they all arise conditionally from the chaos of history.There is no center, no eternal self, no shelter or foundation on which to restgate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha@Shamar @uranther @feonixrift

       @thegibson @uranther @feonixrift @_cr0_tab What if the stars were the perfect symbol?Aren't we all looking at the stars?While people are concerned with money, power, sex... we stare, amused, to the stars.What if curiosity was the force that make us, hacker all over the world, to stare at stars?

       @Shamar @TheGibson @feonixrift @_cr0_tab The Pleides cluster reminds me of the #Antikythera device, another possible symbol of #hackerdom, being the first known analog computer.

       @_cr0_tabThis is where I always get tripped up. Because exactly, due to non-commutativity of the (finite) alphabets of {logic, proteins, elements, ...}.Yet we have an alphabet that is commutative and infinite - the primes. But throw those in repetitive patterns of adding and multiplying and go up to exponentiation, and non-commutative behavior reappears.(So I end up hacking numbers instead of computers.)@TheGibson @Shamar @uranther

       @uranther @Shamar @thegibson @feonixrift @_cr0_tab I don't think it's accurate to describe the Antikythera Device as "the first known analog computer". It is indeed an analog computer (which is itself a misleading term), but we also know about sand tables, clepsydras, astrolabes, planispheres, 浑象 or armillary spheres, and so on, which all predate it.

       @kragen @uranther @Shamar @feonixrift @_cr0_tab It is, however, more mysterious than the others, and presents a challenge from the ancients to us in the modern day.In some ways, the very definition of occult.

       @thegibson @uranther @Shamar @feonixrift @_cr0_tab Oh, yeah, I definitely don't mean to disrespect the Antikythera Mechanism. It's a masterpiece, and I agree that there are still aspects of it that aren't fully understood.

       @kragen @_cr0_tab @rook @thegibson @uranther @feonixrift What about using a prime number of colors? Too geek?Actually 2 is prime... I need to sleep 🤣 So far I liked most:- the simplicity of the locust a lot- the idea of Silicium electron from the second- the colors of the third- the idea of the stars (I know it's just in my mind... but it rocks!)
