I've been following this community out of general curiosity since its inception, and I have to say that they're hackers in the purest form. Clever, technical, collaborative, playful, ideological, subversive. There are amazing technical accomplishments happening regularly over there. Every time the topic comes up, you'll see the same comments you saw a decade ago - you'll blow your hand off, you can mill something better, how is this any different than a Home Depot slamfire - but those commenters haven't been keeping up with developments. It's an inevitable shame that they're being misused for violent crimes, though, but I don't think you can ever put this cat back in the bag.
