Traitor.
Stop trying to make me like these assholes
Stealing from corporations is the only good they done and by chance
Digging up 10 year old nothing burgers? What the fuck is wrong with you? Do you not have real problems with real Nazis? Who the fuck cares that this guy did shady stuff as a teenager >10 years ago?
knowing what I know about any Doge stooge, they were probably five ten years ago.
What a crime, being born later. We really need to focus on actual issues if we want to have the slightest chance to wake Trump people up.
you will never wake them up because you can't fix brain dead.
we have to out crazy them.
I did the same shit as a teenager, big fucking whoop. How about we focus on the Nazi part of this asshole.
While I wholeheartedly agree this is "meh" compared to everything else, this isn't nothing.
If you were to try to get a job with even basic security clearance for a site in the US, and it came up that you were hacking at 19 years old, you would not move forward.
It's a fact-based merit that under normal circumstances would result in termination if it was found to have not been disclosed previously. So pointing it out is still important.
All that being said, disclosure is the key. If it was disclosed, it's a judgment call, and, well...

Absolutely a fair point.
Counter point, how would they possibly know unless you were federally investigated in some way.
I'm sure they will grow out of it, by the time they turn 21
(This is intended as an amusing reference to DOGE's habit of hiring surprisingly young professionals.)
Professionals is a bit of a stretch here lol
I can't be outraged at DOGE for something I would do/currently do. That would be pretty hypocritical.
Yeah, but this reminds me of a line from game of thrones:
"If you're a famous smuggler, you're doing it wrong."
The only problem I have with this is that I refuse to think of some teenager hanging off of Elon's coattails as famous. In four years when the next president kills DOGE, nobody is even gonna remember who this kid was.
He sounds like a real asshole
So now you want people to hate BitTorrent cause someone used it that works with Elon? God this does make Democrats look looney. I really wish people would stop taking the bait.
Nowhere in the article does it say anything like that. It’s pretty straight forward reporting - the guy ran some websites and distributed pirated books and software, and hacked a few websites. No judgements are passed, it’s just factual information.
I wasn't referring to you specifically... I was referring to the journalist that wrote this crap. It is pointless. There are actual character flaws like participating in dismantling the government & ignoring the constitution.
I don't see any mention of torrents in the article?
He must be too young to know what Warez sites are.
I said torrent because it is common to download & share content. My point was that I really don't fucking care if some pirates content. It doesn't influence how I judge them as a person.
So they're worked up over THAT, of all things?
Reminds me of those Mafia people that snitch and start working for the government.
Sounds to me like he was just fulfilling the prerequisites for his current gig... 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
