@cstross I'm sorry, but the Millenialists were Right.

The world ended at Midnight 1999-12-31, or 2000-01-01T00:00:00.666Z.

I'd say you have to blame the Empire, but you may very well have already done so.

@darkwiiplayer that's generally implemented in code. See also "Trusting Trust".

@catsalad
Friend. Nice friend.

@oschonrock

A little sarcastic, yes.

But I think it'll be more than just the "smart" ones, I think the kids'll share.

As you say some will get hurt, but I'm not convinced that the numbers will be any different from what they would have been without intervention.

Just as with pretty much every "tech" problem, effective intervention for harm reduction needs to be social, but nobody will actually fund the workers needed to do that.

@oschonrock
I'm assuming that this is the government's intention. To produce a generation of teenagers who understand TOR, and choose to use it as a first step, using their phones as routers and randomised exit points.

My dad was in a plane crash in Moscow in the 70s, due to refueling, and we visited in the 80s.

Even then I wondered why it wasn't safe to put a visa stamp directly in the passport. Nowadays if I did ever have to visit the US, I think I'd want a clean passport to do so with.

It's been increasingly difficult to see the difference, unless you are part of the ruling classes, or can fake it for just long enough.

My spouse, a US citizen, went home to visit family last year, and found themselves distinctly uncomfortable at the border. I don't think I've been back since we were married, also in 2016.

The rights we extend to others say far more about us than about them.

@evan
Even with the updated question it's complicated.

I hold dual citizenship and live in a third country.

One country requires that I set foot there at least once every three years, which matches the election cycle, the other that I maintain registration.

Generally I'm in favour of as much engagement as possible for all people connected to a nation. If some are to be excluded from voting, it seems reasonable to base that on engagement if they are otherwise no longer present.

@evan
Though I do now see the question has been updated.

@evan
It doesn't.

I have complicated perspectives on voting, its uses and limitations.

More importantly, the use of expatriate in the question encourages a particular perspective that I'm very much opposed to, and necessarily skews the results.

If my perspective on voting wasn't complicated, I'd lean towards banning those who consider themselves expatriate from voting anywhere.

@evan
I'm a kiwi (from Aotearoa New Zealand) living in Sweden.

I am not an expat, or expatriate citizen. I'm a migrant, something other white folk get upset about when I say "yes, I'm just another migrant over here", when they don't think I count because I'm white, and therefore the right kind.

Expat is just another colonial term.

@futurebird
I think I kinda had to figure it out sometime last millennium, but it's been a while. I borrowed a machine for something, so needed a better solution and it transferred.

This century I'd probably look it up online.

All I ever needed was a running stich with a few backstitches to start, or just a backstitch, anyway.

@va2lam @Anke @bucknam

@thordis
I keep getting surprised when I notice yet another co-cohort or older human. Not that one always can tell, but on previous social media I kept getting the impression that most of the folk I knew were a couple of decades younger.

@Colgrace
Waves :)

@volpeon
I'm pretty sure the plan is to cut off those countries that ban xitter.

@futurebird
I'm functionally googevil free, but multiple accounts still exist because I refuse to give them the phone number they demand every time I try to log in to delete them.

@glyph That's one of M$'s defining features. Authentication tacked on afterwards, and the concept of privilege sometime after that.

@afreytes Ballerina is the name. It’s on Netflix. It is pretty violent, and not really in that pretty pretty John Wick manner. The fight choreography is excellent and raw. And it’s not really the happy ending you get in Western Cinema.

There is no such thing as a good billionaire
