When we overthrow the tech bros I only want monster fuckers and furry porn artists running the internet and tech.

this is literally going to strongarm every queer user into giving info after they declared every single lgbtq+ server to be "adult servers" years ago.

so now it's literally give us your info or lose access to your communities and resources.

fuck you discord.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

Oooh I see. So you're ignoring everyone.

But thanks for the link anyways!

Hey folks, really fun idea. Instead of paying for Discord Nitro, and boost, why not use that same money to support a creator you like instead.

Really just anyone, $2-$9 a month could be used to get you exclusive work or insight into stuff you actually like!

'Discord is also rolling out an age inference model that analyzes metadata like the types of games a user plays, their activity on Discord, and behavioral signals like signs of working hours or the amount of time they spend on Discord.' That is gross as hell.

As AI enters the operating room, reports arise of botched surgeries and misidentified body parts Medical device makers have been rushing to add AI to their products. While proponents say the new technology will revolutionize medicine, regulators are receiving a rising number of claims of patient ...

“Researchers from Johns Hopkins, Georgetown and Yale universities recently found that 60 FDA-authorized medical devices using AI were linked to 182 product recalls, according to a research letter published in the JAMA Health Forum in August.”

Age Verification Laws Drag Us Back to the Dark Ages of the Internet Invasive and ineffective age verification laws that require users show government-issued ID, like a driver's license or passport, are passing like wildfire across the U.S.

Discord To Require Age Verification By Face Scan Or ID Starting In March Teen-by-default is coming to all Discord accounts in March

Discord Will Force You To Scan Your Face Or ID To Unlock All Of Its Features

Sorry for not posting recently, holidays have been tiring!
Here's one of my LEGO MOC diorama practices!

Free instructions here: share.google/4saAQHHeVv0d...

I’m unsure what steps can be taken to stop this sort of thing from happening. Not saying this in a doomer way — keep being loud, keep fighting, keep resisting this — but I fear companies will push age verification at the enormous detriment of its users. We all face massive privacy risks

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month - all accounts set to "teen-appropriate experience" by default www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Animal Shapes Ty and Zeke were bejeweled, encrusting, almost doubled over in rings and bracelets and necklaces. The torches in the castle's courtyard caught a million points of light in the inset jewels and polished gold. They would surely be spotted, had they not spent the last of their money paying for a round of drinks at the guard’s favourite pub outside the walls. “We’re fucked,” hissed Zeke. “We’re absolutely fucked mate.” “Shut up,” whispered Ty. “She’ll be here, I told you.” “I can barely fucking move mate,” Zeke said through clenched teeth. “This is too much, I told you it’s too much. I can’t drive a horse like this, how the fuck am I even gonna get on?” Ty almost fell over when he saw a small flame flicker in the darkness of the nearby stables. “Y’alright?” A squat woman appeared from the dark, four feet tall, hair a tangle of brown curls and pale hay obscuring her face, but parting for a long wooden pipe. “The fuck are you–” Zeke started as Ty stepped closer. “Thanks Sammy, you’re a life saver. Got that spell handy?” Sammy nodded, “Yeah man, all clear. Told the horses to take the night off, y’know? Eat some apples by the orchard. Good shit.” She smiled. “Excuse me?” Zeke took several small steps to get closer to them, jingling as he went. “What do you mean you got rid of the horses? That was our way out!” “Not exactly,” said Sammy. “First thing they’ll do is send out riders to find us. Don’t gotta outrun horses, just gotta be horses, man. Hope you’re not allergic to hay.” Sammy cupped her hands, blew pipe smoke into them, and opened them quickly with a few words. When the smoke cleared there were not three thieves in the castle courtyard, but three noble steeds, exactly like the ones eating fermenting apples on the other side of town.

D&D Spells as Flash Fiction - Animal Shapes

The first thing I thought of when I read this spell as the scene in Oceans 8 where the thieves leave with their prizes in broad daylight.

This isn't the first con rejection I've seen recently that just decides to brutalize an artist like this. This is unprofessional. You do not GET to put down the artist you're declining. "Up to par"?

This attitude ontop of what we're already dealing with? Be better. Fucking do better.
