Bring On The Hacker Party
from the techies-and-politics-may-have-to-mix dept
David Coursey has suggested that all of us technology minded folk should band together to form a "hacker party" not really one that stands for chaos but one that stands for the smart use of technology within our society. It isn't such a bad idea, as neither political party seems to truly understand technology. Although what would their symbol be? A computer, a wireless phone or something else?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
