       A friendly request to non-technical people who meet tech nerds :blobcatgiggle: Please, please stop asking if we 'can hack a Facebook account' :nkoFacepalm: First of all, it's not worth the trouble and secondly, it doesn't mean a thing :flan_laugh: For example when it comes to 'hacking a FB account' it depends on the 'target person' and not the platform. Hacking a platform like FB is super mega hard but people aren'tInstead ask to teach them you tech stuff to create and build!

       @stux it's an easy shortcut (in their eyes). I know how to do some of those things but I choose not to.

       @calculsoberic Indeed, like my posts says. it's the people who are the 'weak link' in the chain and mostly not the softwareEveryone can create easy hacks these days with OS'es like Kali etc

       @stux people think hacking is all about going into a computer, type in a few keys and BAM!!! We have the media to thank that for

       @stux if somebody ask me "Can you hack a Facebook account?", my answer will be: "Sure. Give me your username and password and I'll take care of the rest".

       @stuxIf people you haven't seen for years send you messages "Hi, how're you? Where do you live?""Ask me about your computer problem and stop acting like we're friends."   :sadlinux: It's always the same, I'm not even offended anymore  :blobcoffee:

       @stux Why do they ask? Do they actually have a person in mind, or they’re just asking in general?

       @stux @friendly My daughter always says I'm 'hacking' when I pull up a terminal to do some quick checks or whatnot.

       @stux Hacking is 90% social engineering anyway.

       @calculsoberic @stux weird, usually they ask me to fix their computer (because they installed something fishy they can't remember while trying to get free porn)

       @stux whenever I introduce myself as a computer science major to people, I either get "I am so sorry" or "can you hack instagram accounts?"I agree with the former

       @stux someone asked me how easy it is to hack Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube because all their accounts got “hacked” at once. I asked if they used the same password for everything. “Yes! How did you know?!”It wasn’t the sites that got hacked
