It really bothers me how even the techies and hacker types not just give up on this — but spend their energy *arguing against* pushing back against the h-word abuse.
Even when it so blatantly and so directly hurts them, as with the #FlipperZero case.
I mean, thanks #LinusTechTips for helping make Flipper Zero bans a thing, by way of clickbaity videos. Well done. Got your clicks, I hope!

I wonder if 20 years of cramming "#hackers" into every story that involves computers being broken (or broken into) has anything to do with #Canada banning #FlipperZero? :thaenkin:
Surely, media focusing every such story, for decades, on some nebulous "hackers" instead of on companies who could not be bothered to secure their stuff properly in no way affected the public perception of who's to blame. :blobcatcoffee:
But please, do tell me how we should not fight for this term anymore. 🙄
