- sudo_cowsay 4mo agoWell, he has passed so I don't know if that sticker is relevant anymore.
- kstrauser 4mo agoIt's probably not, but still usefully signals particular mindsets to others who might share them.

- devmor 4mo agoFrom what I can tell, defcon is largely law enforcement and companies that sell to them these days, so I'm not surprised at all to hear that.
- kstrauser 4mo agoI keep hearing that cynical, and wrong, dismissal but have zero idea where it comes from. Yes, there are cops. Some .govs even have booths in the info areas. The stated idea is that it's a good thing when cops and hackers can hang out and discuss ideas and opinions outside of interrogation rooms, and I agree with that. That's miles away from "largely law enforcement" though. I talked to an FBI agent at PyCon but people aren't claiming it's a LEO convention.
