"But thats exactly why I left you that note. Because it frightens me just how insecure your house is. I care about you and don't want to see you hurt. I did it as a last resort, I tried to inform you but you clearly didn't take me seriously.
Empathy was casusing me pain everytime I saw you 'lock' your door with that elastic band. Attention seeking or malicious behaviour would have been to break into all the insecure doors on the street.
I broke into yours, so you would take security seriously, because I care about you and your wellbeing."
- InclinedPlane 15y agoHow is that so very different from, say, kidnapping someone's children and holding them hostage until they fix whatever you want fixed? The problem here is that when you violate someone's trust you change the landscape. People get scared, they question your motives, they go into a fight or flight response. Yes, this sometimes results in the problem being fixed faster because they are very much more motivated now, but the same is true if you kidnap their family, right? If you think someone is letting down their customers by not responding fast enough, then you go public. But violating trust is a quick way to end a professional relationship.
- Aaronontheweb 15y agoSurely you and every other commenter can see that breaking into houses and kidnapping children are in a completely different universe from posting comments sent from 1000 years in the future on Github right?
- ktizo 15y agoThis isn't breaking into someone's house and leaving a note. This is breaking into a huge commercial factory with thousands of clients, where you could cause colossal damage, and only leaving a note.
- kamjam 15y agowhere you could cause colossal damage Exactly, you and every other hacker with out there. At least you had the good conscience to leave a note.
