1) This is beyond horrific; 2) this does not encourage me to visit the US; 3) I don't think ticket sales for the World Cup and the Olympics in LA will do very well as more people hear about stuff like this.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

CW: transphobia.

See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤

This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did.

But it's not just similar. It's *identical*.

In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938.

Paragraph 175 and 183.

I got 3 days for telling everyone they served shit sandwiches in the canteen

I had to install it once to troubleshoot an issue where the vuln scanner was detecting TFS when it wasn't present. It now lives with IBMdb for things I never, ever, want to touch again.

Drawing of Lina Inverse I did a while back!

Finally completed the main decoration pass for my upcoming mod, Nova Rime. Now I'm dialing in some lighting - here's a modified version of the Frontier hab:

That's where I landed with TLJ too. It felt like it said "hey we know TFA was nostalgia bait and disconnected, but I promise we can make a story out of here, here's how". I enjoyed what TLJ put down, I could see where Rian was going. And then TROS happened and shat on everything.

Oh for sure. My first song was a mix of everything, sounded awesome.

It IS a poll tax.

I *do* need to replay that, I think I ended up purple and wanna try being blue or red...

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Haven't updated for a while, but this definitely needs to be here.

You can't code around this. You can't scale past this.

It's fundamental. Garbage In, Garbage Out.

The AI grift relies on obfuscating, or lying about this (or straight-up hubris), particularly when it comes to LLMs (but also gen AI).

Media hypes AI, either unintentionally or maliciously ignorant.

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

I mean the graph would point to 9 Feb as the Monday they mean. Surely this past Monday it would still have been high. Then again it doesn't look like it's below the Warning threshold even into next week.

"I was told you're a monster," the hero said.

"So they say," said the monster.

"But you're beautiful!"

"Thank you."

"Have you always been a monster?"

"Heh. I was a young maiden. But I did something forbidden."

"And became a monster?"

"Got named a monster."

"What did you do?"

"I hit back."

Monday night is a p long time for this.
