"The German language doesn't understand?" :) (wa should be ga. wa means German is the subject that is doing the not-understanding.)

> the nofly csv is almost 80mb in size and contains over 1.56 million rows of data. this HAS to be the real deal (we later get confirmation that it is indeed a copy of the nofly list from 2019).
CSV you say? Let's hope Bobby Droptable's cousin Bobby Double Quote Comma-Semicolon don't get in it...
Relatively off-topic, but I absolutely love the 90s/early 2000s vibes I get from this. I can't remember the last time I saw a webring, much less one with animated logos.

The whole point of pronouns is to reduce cognitive overhead. If pronouns become something you have to remember for each person then you might as well drop them from the language and use names all the time.
Totally. Or use X for everyone. No overloading of common words well understood to be something completely different.
Some people may prefer a different name but I think they’ll understand once we explain the cognitive load.

I wish we just used “they” always. I am fine with people not wanting certain pronouns but I find it very tedious to track different pronouns in my head. Especially in a professional setting gender shouldn’t matter at all.
I have found ways to almost always write and talk with gender neutral pronouns, without sounding too weird. After working with colleagues that use gender neutral pronouns, I find myself being careful not to assume any gender specific pronouns, which means in most cases just not using them.
I've got no issue with people wanting to use different pronouns, though usually I try to keep it neutral in conversation anyway. "They/their" is extremely easy to use without much thought.

Edit: After further reading は seems to work fine. In this case I think both work but が places greater emphasis on the german language being the thing not understood. で however was totally incorrect :P. But due to the tacit nature of informal Japanese I think the context already informed the reader who doesn't understand what.
> with pretty much no skill required Seriously? I know like none of the tools or terms they used, like wtf is shodan? In general the author doesn't seem to follow the white hat guidelines, and I'd be worried what they've done is quite illegal (possibly on a federal level if the nofly list is so secret)

I wish everyone was just named James. I had a good friend named James and it’s much easier to call everyone that than to learn a bunch of individual names.
It makes sense to me that individuals should have names. Pronouns tend to be much less information dense, and are used as shorthand. It doesn't make sense to me that pronouns should capture gender, as opposed to hair color, height, or age.

Switzerland has assisted the USA in going after them, unless I'm missing something. (I am open to missing something here)
According to its Wikipedia page [1], Switzerland doesn't extradite their nationals (including maia) without consent. maia might be trapped in Switzerland, but as long as it stays there the US can't get to it. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maia_arson_crimew
For once.
Meanwhile, another front page article is some genius asking why there aren’t any cars in 1984.
