> stereotypes aside, hackers

If we're putting stereotypes aside, wouldn't we also put aside the word "hackers"?

In the xz case, the term may be accurate, but we don't know the identity of the culprit(s) and have no empirical basis for even speculating about the work schedules of such people.

Well, I don't work in an office. I work alone. Like a stereotypical "hacker".
