So... I get banning the Threads server. I might do it myself, actually.

I get leaving an instance that doesn't ban Threads to join another instance that does ban it. Cool, migration is a feature of the fediverse.

But... don't ban servers that don't ban Threads. Like... that's some weird Civ III peer pressure bullshit.

I probably will ban Threads from my account. But I'm not leaving infosec.exchange. @jerry does entirely too well at server administration and this entire instance is comprised of too many people to be of one mind.

Like... we can all agree, no nazi's and racist shit, right? But politics and socio-economic models... fuuuck.... there's no way.

And I really want to talk with y'all. And I really really really don't want to spin up my own instance right now.

So. Ban Threads. Don't ban Threads. Instance wide or individually. But don't balkinize each other because of each other's stance for/against/indifferent Threads.

Here's how the "Ship of Theseus" page looked in July 2003 when it was first created! Since then, the article has been edited 1792 times. 0% of its original phrases remain.

A Wikipedia page for Ship of Theseus is shown. The article reads "According to an ancient Greek legend, Theseus had a warship that was preserved as a historical relic by the Athenians. Some of its boards rotted and had to be replaced. After many, many years, many such replacements occurred. Eventually, none of the original boards were present. Philosophers could then debate whether it was the same ship that Theseus had used, and if not, when it had ceased to be so.
A modern embellishment
If Theseus paid a nontransferable fee, allowed to be used for only one ship, for the privilege of docking in a particular harbor, would he violate the non-transferability of his license if repeated replacement of boards eventually had the result described above?"

Hi Maggie,

Thanks for reaching out. | am not currently considering jobs in U.S. states that don't recognize basic healthcare rights for women. And won't recommend such jobs to anyone in my network either.

Please keep me in mind for appropriate positions in the future.

All the best,

Aram

The US is not the centre of the universe. If you don’t live there try to remember that in 2024. Your energy is better spent elsewhere.

Do I need to take this any further? I think I've had my fun.

A skull and crossbones, except the skull is that "grimace" emoji: a round face with two dots for eyes and a mouth in a straight, horizontal line showing teeth. The face and bones are white, on a black background.

I've seen multiple times, people talk about 'when the US devolves into dictatorship or full fash' then cites examples like no due process or no privacy ect ect.

Did you fuckless lilly white jackholes forget stop-&-frisk? 94' crime bill? Unofficial police detention black sites? War on Drugs or Terror; immigrant detention cages & child "adoption"; Indigenous Peoples being murdered; "accidental" deaths of Trans women in custody? Any of it?

This is where we've been, always. Look the fuck around!

Man Announces He Will Quit Drinking by 2050.

A Sydney man has set an ambitious target to phase out his alcohol consumption within the next 29 years, as part of an impressive plan to improve his health.

The program will see Greg Taylor, 73, continue to drink as normal for the foreseeable future, before reducing consumption in 2049 when he turns 101. He has assured friends it will not affect his drinking plans in the short or medium term.

Taylor said it was important not to rush the switch to non-alcoholic beverages. “It’s not realistic to transition to zero alcohol overnight. This requires a steady, phased approach where nothing changes for at least two decades,” he said, adding that he may need to make additional investments in beer consumption in the short term, to make sure no night out is worse off.
