Okay, but that clearly cannot be the meaning being used here, since to prohibit "hacking" in this sense is not unlike a blanket prohibition on "play".

- aleph_minus_one 3y agoDid you read the original link: https://infosec.exchange/@WPalant/111776937550399546 https://infosec.exchange/@WPalant/111776937550399546 "Current news: A court found a developer guilty of “hacking.” His crime: he was tasked with looking into a software that produced way too many log messages." Note that “hacking.” is in quotes, which should clear the opinion that the poster "Yellow Flag" considers it to be ironic that this action is called "hacking".
- fluoridation 3y agoYes, and I also skimmed the German source. "Hacking" is in quotes because that's what they called it in Germany. Yellow Flag puts "hacking" in quotes to make it clear that they're citing a source and that they're not calling the action "hacking" themselves. It doesn't necessarily imply a sense of irony, they're just reporting a piece of news.
