During this period is tech workers have the power and we need to make sure we use to the maximum. I’ve flat out told my bosses I will quit if they try to get me back into the office. They were begging me to stay and we’re still fully remote!

Jobs are not good in themselves, they need to serve a purpose. The reality is that the coffee you brew at home is just as good as the coffee you buy at ten 20 times the price. These are jobs that should not exist

No ofc not. Who knows who is reading this. I fly under the radar and I like it that way

Agreed.

The a level was just for fun. I did a masters in computer science from a too 3 UK university. Not that anyone has ever asked to see my degree certificate…

I do not have a criminal record. The wonderful conservative/liberal coalition updated the rehabilitation of offenders act 1974 so my conviction became spent. That said I currently work for a 1000 employee plus employer and they never did a criminal record check but others have.

Nothing, prison is a warehouse. Remember though all that occurred was property damaged and a level of intimidation that would make a person of sturdy character laugh, on the spectrum of political action it really was not that extreme

Prison doesn’t work. At all. My views are more radical than ever. The lesson to learn is; never try to effect serious social change via peaceful means, go directly to illegal means, bypassing legal protest will mean the police won’t know who they are looking for.

I can’t say I lose a seconds sleep over the “victims”, they are weak minded crybabies

It’s chill, I redid my maths my maths A-level and got an A, I basically had a one on one maths tutor for a year in the prison learning complex, came in very useful now I am a software engineer.

The ironic thing is that the police waited about 2 years after they seized the laptop to ask me for the pass phrase. I’m not sure I even actually remembered it as it was so long. PGP Whole Disk Encryption ftw. At the time WDE wasn’t available on the mac and the police got loads of data from my pals text editor temporary files. No one got anything from mine hahaha

“Urban terrorism” according to the incredibly foolish judge. Considering no one ever had a finger laid on them he would have a shock if he ever found out about the IRA

I was one of the activists who had their computers seized. I told the police to kiss my ass and they gave up trying to get my password. Though I guess a 6 month concurrent sentence when you’ve already got 4 years isn’t worth the paperwork. Prison was butlins btw. I highly recommend it. Plenty of time to read books
