#102I love the implication that this random person should be the authority on whether or not I can see the no-fly list.
I mean she pretty much explains the whole process of getting it. If you're willing to get prosecuted just go get it yourself.
In the Daily Dot article above:

#103Headline buries the real lede a bit in my opinion; the author has gotten a snapshot of the no-fly list from 2019. Presumably the system under attack processes more up-to-date versions of it regularly. Corresponding news story: https://www.dailydot.com/debug/no-fly-list-us-tsa-unprotecte...
You can follow their steps to find this data it’s not that hard. Then do whatever you want with it. Shodan isn’t some mythical tool.

Please give maia the respect she deserves and use the correct pronouns.
Apparently the pronouns to use are it/its? According to other people which makes your comment even better.

I’m curious to learn: if “they” is being added to style guides as a way to refer to a singular human without implying any gender, is “it” the same or is there a somewhat different meaning behind the usage?
I once saw someone who goes by “it” explain that it liked “it” because it has a sort of ungendered quality to it, whereas “they” is instead gender- neutral . It explained that we use “they” to refer to humans because we assume humans are gendered, and the implied gender is the quality that makes “they” (or for that matter “he” or “she”) implicitly refer to a human. But it rejects the notion humans must be gendered, o…
Grammatically, “they” and “it” are the same gender, they differ in number.
Semantically, the difference in their singular use (prior to very recent evolutions) is that they was rarely used for specific known humams, and it was never uses for humans (but frequently for living things with sex and to whom grammatical gender corresponding to sex could also be used, in cases where the sex was unknown or unimportant, similar to the use of “they” for humans.)
So, while I find the idea of “they” as gender neutral but “it” as emphatically ungendered conceptuallt interesting, I don't really think it reflects historical usage differences.
OTOH, I suppose there could be debate about different presumptions of social gender vs grammatical gender here, too.

#106> Suspected members of the IRA, the Irish paramilitary organization, were also on the list.
Oof the international politics always come out in things like this. Twitter also publicizes all of its suspensions and bans. There's a Wikipedia article with a list of all the notable suspensions since 2010. It's interesting to see that, contrary to popular narratives, many of the international groups banned were actually far-left aligned.
The list gets really boring the more you scroll down however. The last notable ban was Paul Graham for simply sharing their Mastodon handle. A boring dystopia indeed

They say the access got closed before publication.

She goes by it, so go look in the mirror. We're all trying our best here.

At least it got flagged! But since I can't reply to it and put some effort into typing a reply, I hope you don't mind me dropping it below. --- What? I agree that for my tastes a lot of people take gender very seriously. But it seems wild to me to think this is somehow a new phenomenon. For millennia in many societies one's society-assigned gender determined a great deal about one's status, including what work you co…
Have a nice day.
People disagreeing with you is not censorship. We can all still see your comment.

she uses both pronoun sets: it/its and she/her[1].
