I'm not surprised because Meta said they were doing just that. Anyone who had an account on Instagram automatically has an account reserved for them on Threads. I don't see anything nefarious about it.

Windows 11 Pro. It has been solid, though I am mildly annoyed that updates keep changing little things.

X-Wing (1993). I'm old. It is still one of the best games I've ever played.

Beavers eat their own poop.

The next US federal election should set records for youth vote, women and feminist vote, LGBTQT2S+ vote, and racial minority vote.

I also want to see what "research" Minister Leece is referencing. They aren't extending the school day. Those three or four hours of cursive per week will be taken from some other topics in the curriculum (e.g. coding, which some teachers find challenging).

Imagine how differently this would have played out if Reddit CEO Steve Huffman had taken a collaborative approach with app developers and stake holders. A few months ago, he could have called them up and humbly asked them for ideas and assistance in making Reddit profitable. Reddit would be on path to financial success by now.

76832 XL-15 Spaceship (Buzz Lightyear's spaceship). I really enjoyed the build and the minifigures. I got it for the cool looking spaceship, but it motivated me to watch the movie and I thought it was wonderful.

I think small, specialized instances could work for certain hobbies. For example, a LEGO focused instance could include a variety of communities (e.g. castles, Star Wars, vintage LEGO, etc.). That might be easier to manage.
