The story and work of Gary Bowser is pretty badass and would make for an interesting ama and event on lemmy. Here’s a recent article on Gary Bowser https://torrentfreak.com/gary-bowser-how-a-1980s-hacker-became-nintendos-nemesis-decades-later-230702/

So glad people got rid of slavery, right? US is disgusting with the corporation bootlicking.

that's not technically true, the 13th amendment only outlawed slavery if you haven't been convicted of a crime.

Edit: besides that technicality, I do agree.

Yeah, but my point was that this is just slavery for everyone, only with a different name.

I understood you correctly, but were you aware that American corporations including McDonald's, Target, Whole Foods, and Microsoft have been profiting heavily from US prison labor without the the legal requirement to compensate the laborers fairly, provide sick days, or provide decent working conditions? https://sites.law.berkeley.edu/sustainability-compliance/corporations-use-of-prison-labor/

Shit's fucked if/when you get convicted of a crime, whether your Gary or anyone else.

Edit: added context
