<![CDATA[// ]]>helenbop replied to your post: Bruce Sterling on Assange and hacker culture
There’s a response to Bruce Sterling’s piece at The Atlantic which is also worth reading.
True that. And here’s the link to The Atlantic piece. However, I was sort of disappointed in that the piece didn’t touch on the misogyny aspects of Assange’s personality. Which, regardless the veracity of the rape charges, are sort of common in some circles of hacker culture. The geeks that Sterling describes (at least a significant portion of them) can be very alienated towards women and their dealings with women. That is something I have hardly seen addressed in mainstream media. How, Assange is also the byproduct of the subculture where Wikileaks raised from.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
