Internet Archive finds #001: Hacking the Xbox, An introduction to Reverse Engineering by Andrew "Bunnie" Huang. (full read)

"In the beginning, a hacker was someone who worked passionately for the sake of curiosity and exploration. There were hardware hackers who took it upon themselves to remove the covers from computers to optimize their design (early computers were built out of discrete components, so they could be modified in meaningful ways with simple tools), and there were software hackers who labored to make the most compact and elegant code, since computational resources were scarce and slow. There were hackers who explored the ins and outs of the phone system, and those who explored the roofs and tunnels of buildings of university campuses. Quite often, early hackers engaged in all of these activities. Hackers would share their findings or results (hacks) with each other freely, as their rewards were not financial, but came from satisfying their intellectual curiosity and from the enthusiasm of their peers." - Andrew "bunnie" Huang.

Interesting thought from a friend:

Jail breaking. Reverse engineering. Without these we wouldn’t have emulation which is kinda saving a lot of peoples childhoods seeing as actual physical copies are skyrocketing in the retro gaming market. People are afraid physical media is going to completely phase out because everything’s going digital. So people are taking advantage of the market in some arguably bullshit ways. Ya know business. -Xora March 2024

WEDNESDAY (2022) ↳ wavier + glances

“Within patriarchal culture, the girl who does not feel loved in her family of origin is given another chance to prove her worth when she is encouraged to seek love from males. Schoolgirl crushes, mad obsessions, compulsive longings for male attention and approval indicate that she is rightly pursuing her gendered destiny, on the road to becoming the female who can be nothing without a man. Whether she is heterosexual or homosexual, the extent to which she yearns for patriarchal approval will determine whether she is worthy to be loved. This is the emotional uncertainty that haunts the lives of all females in patriarchal culture. From the start, then, females are confused about the nature of love. Socialized in the false assumption that we will find love in the place where femaleness is deemed unworthy and consistently devalued, we learn early to pretend that love matters more than anything, when in actuality we know that what matters most, even in the wake of feminist movement, is patriarchal approval.”
